Febratex is due to be held in Blumenau (Brazil) from 12 to 15 August 2014. The international fair covering all sectors of the textile industry can already look back at more than 20 editions. On display are the latest machineries, materials and technologies – also Groz-Beckert presents its latest products and services on more than 100 m2 in sector 2, road 9, booth 89-91.

In the field of Knitting the central topic is the improvement of the productivity in the circular knitting process. On-site each exhibition visitor has the chance to have his individual potential in terms of productivity and saving resources calculated. Moreover, the visitor can discover by himself where unused potentials can be found – which can be tapped by the use of precisely fitting high-quality Groz-Beckert products.

Groz-Beckert developed a quiz for this purpose, with questions and answers to the production process. It shows examples of how big the positive effects of minimal changes of the five key factors in the knitting process – machine speed, efficiency, needle life time and breakage rate as well as energy consumption – can be.

In the field of Sewing the focus is on SEWING5. This term refers to Groz-Beckert's comprehensive service plan by which it supports the sewing industry in mastering the challenges in the market. The five S of SEWING5 stand for Supply, Solutions, Service, Superiority, and Sustainability.

In its product portfolio Groz-Beckert continuously works on developing the perfect needle for every requirement. The innovative needle geometry LoopControl of chain stitch and lockstitch needles helps to form perfect loops.

Due to their distinctive roundings LoopControl needles optimally protect the sewing thread and fabric and reduce the risk of skipped stitches.

In addition, the seam appearance is improved. Groz-Beckert also holds available needles for fine materials or for material that is extremely difficult to sew. The special application needles SAN 10 and SAN 10 XS guarantee higher quality through best possible protection of the sewn material and contribute to the increased productivity. They guarantee higher quality through best possible protection of the sewn material and contribute to the increased productivity.

When it comes to quality, even the product packaging can make a real difference. The Groz-Beckert packaging enables needles to be transported and stored securely. As an additional service for customers the packaging label also bears a data matrix code that serves to verify its original product status. The tool needed for this, the newly developed “label scanner”, is available worldwide and free of charge as part of the “myGrozBeckert“ app.
