With the establishment of Brückner Textile India Pvt. Ltd., the Brückner Group, based in Leonberg, Germany, marks another important milestone in its long and successful company history.

The new subsidiary offers the full range of Brückner’s products and services: new machines, modifications, spare parts, technical consulting, machine upgrades, and after-sales service. All machines are still manufactured in Tittmoning, Bavaria, Germany, while sales, installation and service are handled by the newly formed local team in India.

Ltd. reflects deep industry experience and regional expertise: Mr. Thomas Wiget, who brings over 31 years of professional experience in India, has been appointed as Director of the subsidiary. Mr. A. Venkatesh Babu is responsible for sales across India, with a particular focus on the Eastern and Southern regions, while Mr. Vinod Kumar V. manages sales in the Northern and Western parts of the country. Together, this experienced team ensures close customer proximity, professional consultation and reliable support throughout India. With the foundation of Brückner Textile India Pvt.

William Clark & Sons – the oldest linen producer in North-ern Ireland commissioned new finishing plant with BRÜCKNER

William Clark & Sons have been providing world class linen direct from Northern Ireland to customers around the world for nearly 300 years.

This equipment is as reliable today as when they were commissioned over 100 years ago, and the process remains unchanged.

New Gravimax MMX-R X-ray sensor platform opens up new application fields

The demands placed on quality control in web-based production processes are increasing: materials are becoming more complex, basis weights are varying more widely, and at the same time, pressure is growing to make processes more efficient and transparent. Precise measurement data across the entire web width has therefore become a key factor in ensuring stable production processes. With its new Gravimax MMX-R sensor platform, Mahlo introduces a radiometric measurement solution designed to set new standards in determining basis weight and material composition. The platform combines advanced X-ray technology with newly developed signal processing, enabling measurement tasks that previously often required multiple sensor technologies.

At the same time, skilled labor shortages require production systems that are intuitive, automated and easy to manage. PLEVA addresses these challenges with robust, maintenance-friendly sensor technologies combined with intelligent process control.

New study shows low environmental impact by Cotton made in Africa Organic Cotton from Tanzania

Today, the Aid by Trade Foundation (AbTF) is announcing the results of a comprehensive life-cycle analysis (LCA) for cotton produced in Tanzania under the Cotton made in Africa Organic (CmiA Organic) standard. The study emphasises the small ecological footprint of CmiA Organic verified cotton. This can largely be traced back to the absence of synthetic pesticides, artificial fertilisers, and artificial irrigation. Consequently, CmiA Organic cotton can help the textile industry meet regulatory requirements as well as science-based targets. The results also show that the consequences of climate change threaten the livelihoods of these cotton farmers, even though the type of agriculture they practise barely contributes to climate change.

PERFORMANCE DAYS proves its relevance as the industry’s key meeting point
