They are specially designed for complex sewing operations or for processing specific materials. They include SAN 10 and SAN 10 XS for fine to ultra-fine fabrics, SAN 6 for sturdy denim fabrics, and SAN 5.2 for technical textiles.

In addition to these special solutions, Groz-Beckert offers a wide range of standard needles. With a variety of needle sizes and different point styles, the right needle can be found for every application. This diversity not only provides a high degree of flexibility, but also helps to ensure a consistently high quality of the end product.
