HASGROUP (Turkey) on the way to become a world brand

The HAS GROUP at ITM exhibition in Istanbul (c) 2013 HASGROUP

HASGROUP, established in 1984 in Turkey as a solution provider and machine supplier for textile industry, continues its healthy growth in the local, as well as in the global market. Today the Group’s machines are run in 47 countries from Americas to Far East. Experienced installation teams set up machines according to the specific requirements of production and after-sales services make sure that quality standards are sustained over the entire life of machines.

Thanks to a working environment in EU norms and production at world standards, HAS GROUP continues its researches in order to offer new solutions for ever-changing customer needs. Laser cutting, CNC-controlled frames, CNC lathe-processing centers make sure that all machines are manufactured with micron precision.

HASGROUP focuses its activities on 4 fields, namely textile finishing, carpet-back coating, technical textiles and special projects.

In textile finishing stenter frames, sanforizing, denim finishing line, raising, shearing, brushing, compacting, drying and tumbler machines work to the satisfaction of their users in denim, woven, knitted and non-woven areas. The Group collected the fruits of long term R&D work on denims, by booking a recent deal with Vicunha Textiles for their factories in Brasil, Argentina and Ecuador. Stenter frames are equipped with last generation hydrolic foulards. Sanforizing machines will sustain the customer’s good fabric quality thanks to state-of-the-art water spraying units, automatic shrinking control devices with weft straightener and pick-counter. Technical textiles and carpet-back coating machines are the products of know-how and technology transfer gained by long years’ experience in textile machinery manufacturing. In Gaziantep / Turkey, where 30% of global woven carpet manufacturing capacity exists, HASGROUP customers enjoy the machine quality and after-sales services. The latest deliveries to the leading carpet-manufacturers ‘’Kaplan Kardeşler’’ and ‘’Tümer Halı’’ testify the satisfaction of the market with the Group’s machinery.

HASGROUP machines provide a single finishing line that combines wall-to-wall and woven carpet lines. Felt and action-back laminations, gel foaming application and artificial grass manufacturing can be made on the same line. Space, energy and labor savings are additional benefits of the users.

Special Projects Department acts as a solution provider of tailor made products to leading companies and brands who want to give local service to their Turkish customers. Back in 2004 Procter&Gamble had choosen HAS GROUP Special projects department for their projects on paper products, diaper and sanitary-pad machines. Siemens VAI (USA) and Danieli (Italy) are the business partners in steel mill rolling machines and equipments. In military defense industry Aselsan and Roketsan’s supplier choice has been HASGROUP. Otto-Junker, one of the leaders of metallurgical and thermal equipment companies from Germany has recently visited and inspected HASGROUP production- and assembly plants. They have already given their official statement that they were very impressed by organization and capabilities and they will definitely include HASGROUP in their future projects.

In order to sustain its leadership position in the market, HASGROUP is fully aware of the importance of innovation concept. Therefore, the group has started collaborating with DuPont to further develop the engineering properties of the machines. Energy efficiency, product design and productivity are among the topics worked on.

HASGROUP is also developing a new after-sales and technical support concept to the customers. In a technical joint venture with world-wide-known brands of elastane, knitting machines, dyestuff- and chemicals manufacturers, the Group intends to offer package-solutions to customers for all kinds of their needs, i.e. product development, technical and technological innovations and problem solutions for the fabrics they produce. Each party will offer its own experience and know-how to make sure that all technical aspects of the fabric are covered by the market leader of that field. The details of this new technical joint-venture will be announced soon.

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.

BW Converting to present its Baldwin TexCoat® G4 at Techtextil 2026

BW Converting will present its Baldwin TexCoat® G4 precision spray finishing system at Techtextil Frankfurt 2026, taking place April 21-24 at Messe Frankfurt. Visitors to Hall 12, Booth C56B, will have the opportunity to explore how this advanced spray technology helps textile manufacturers improve finishing quality, increase efficiency and reduce resource consumption across a wide range of applications.

Smart sensors, smart savings - Reducing energy and cost in textile finishing

As energy prices, sustainability requirements and quality expectations continue to rise, manufacturers of technical textiles face increasing pressure to optimize efficiency while ensuring process reliability. 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

Held on March 18–19, 2026, PERFORMANCE DAYS once again confirmed its position as a leading international platform for functional textiles. A total of 3.366 trade visitors and around 560 exhibitors gathered in Munich, with the event already kicking off successfully on DAY 0, which received highly positive feedback for its interactive format. Despite challenging conditions caused by the public transport strike in Munich, the event saw strong attendance and a consistently high level of activity across both exhibition days.
