Major order for BRÜCKNER for several glass fibre finishing lines from Belarus

The company JSC POLOTSK STEKLOVOLOKNO, founded in 1958 and based in Belarus, has been among others a world market leader in the production of glass fabrics for decades. The wide variety of products from glass fibre to glass yarn, electrical insulation and construction glass fabric, glass mesh and silica materials enables STEKLOVOLOKNO to be successful in many branches of industry.

Every year, the Belarusian company processes around 55,000 tonnes of glass fabric for over 900 different end products. For the thermal finishing, caramelization and desizing of glass fibre, several lines have recently been ordered from the German machine manufacturer BRÜCKNER. The family-run company located in Southern Germany has been producing lines for the textile industry as well as for technical applications for more than 70 years. In the field of glass fabric finishing, market-leading manufacturers trust in BRÜCKNER technology since decades. The delivery of the lines to Belarus is planned for end of the year 2020.

Hanna Padalitsa, project manager at Steklovolokno, is very satisfied. „We have known BRÜCKNER since the late 90s and already then had successful and good experience in working together.

At that time BRÜCKNER supplied us with one line for finishing electrical insulation glass fabric which is still in operation today at our Polotsk site. We are happy to continue this excellent cooperation with BRÜCKNER and ordered several lines from this family-run company. We are convinced that the whole BRÜCKNER team will demonstrate the highest level of professionalism, ensure the best quality of the lines we ordered and provide an extraordinary technical and after-sales service as they always do and for which the company is known worldwide.

“Action helps us change what we do!”

DAY 0 takes place deliberately before PERFORMANCE DAYS begins. It is conceived as a space for reflection, dialogue and active engagement — a moment to pause before the fair, rethink established systems and address sustainability not as a trend, but as a fundamental transformation challenge. Under the guiding metaphor “Turn the Tap Off”, DAY 0 focuses on root causes rather than symptoms, systemic change rather than isolated solutions, and collective responsibility rather than individual silos.
