“In the initial stage, the factory will manufacture the new Zinser models 71 and 72, both for conventional and compact ring spinning. With up to 1920 spindles, this will be the longest ring frame in the world. Next step would see all the variations of Zinser ring spinning machines and superior automation to be produced at the facility making Zinser the only ring spinning machine manufacturer with 4 ring spinning technologies: conventional short staple, compact short staple, conventional long staple and compact long staple. This is also complementing the already existing Zinser speed frame production in India allowing attractive packages including automation,” said Knecht.

According to Joerg Spahlinger, CEO Saurer Components, “The new factory in India would facilitate us to produce weighing arms and spindles with a doubled capacity and would also include the addition of a stamping facility within the premises. This would allow us to efficiently cater to all our customers and give us more flexibility.”

The official inauguration ceremony of the new plant is planned for a later date, the release said. (RKS)
