50 years of Swiss precision - Retech highlights latest technology to produce high-quality synthetic fibers

High-quality synthetic fiber production requires uncompromising precision and process stability. Godet rolls play a key role in ensuring exact temperature control and maximum reliability. As a Swiss pioneer in thermal treatment for filament fibers, Retech has been setting benchmarks for five decades – with technologies that make production processes smarter, more efficient, and more sustainable.

Hightest Swiss precision and quality for 50 years - Retech godet rolls

At ITMA Asia + CITME Singapore 2025, the team will be on site to share insights, discuss ideas, and show how our solutions can support your specific production requirements.

Smart Control Technology – Predictive, Not reactive

Retech’s godet technology combines precise temperature control with intelligent sensor systems:

+ UTR-6A Temperature Measurement & Transmission – contactless, continuous, reliable

+ UCR-6 Temperature Controller – real-time control and analysis for stable processes

+ Bearing & Vibration Monitoring – early deviation detection

+ Optional Induction Heater Monitoring – added safety

The results are a reduced downtime; longer component life; and improved efficiency – with solutions tailored to each customer’s needs.

50 Years of Swiss Engineering

Retech stands for Swiss engineering in heat treatment, yarn tension monitoring, and process control. The market leader combines decades of experience with continuous innovation – delivering sustainable, energy-efficient, and future-ready production solutions.

This is also how Retech's customers see it. For example, Dr Wan-Gyu Hahm from the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology (KITECH). He said: "Your high-speed inline drawing equipment has been invaluable to our R&D efforts and it continues to be a strong supporter of our work. Thank you once again for providing such excellent equipment and I look forward to continuing our collaboration and communication with you."

Sustainability as a driver of innovation

Our solutions are designed not only to increase efficiency but also to conserve resources. Precise process control reduces energy consumption, minimizes material waste, and extends component life – benefiting both business and the environment.
