#Dyeing, Drying, Finishing
Go-ahead for the Jagenberg Textile
- KÜSTERS foulards and textile machinery made in Germany
- Restart of the Jagenberg textile brand in Germany in the company-owned Monforts Quartier
- First orders taken and already in assembly
Under the umbrella of the Jagenberg Textile Division, Jagenberg AG develops, constructs, produces and sells not only foulards but also a wide range of textile machinery, e.g. for the dyeing, bleaching and mercerising of textiles. So far, Kusters Calico Machinery Pvt. Ltd. (India) and Kusters Zima Corp. (USA), together the global leaders in the manufacture of KÜSTERS wet finishing plants, formed part of the Jagenberg Textile Division.
"We are proud once again to produce KÜSTERS textile plants made in Germany," explains Dr Bröker. "The basis for this has been the acquisition of the KÜSTERS Group in 2005. This enables us to build on the technology and manufacturing know-how of the former Eduard Küsters Maschinenfabrik company. Until now, we were mainly represented in Asia and the Americas. But that is going to change now."
Ralf Cöntges, Technical Director of Jagenberg Textile, is optimistic only a few months after the company's establishment: "We have been very well accepted by the market. Many customers in Germany and Europe whom we contacted as part of our re-establishment appeared delighted to have a contact in Germany once again for the well-known KÜSTERS textile plants. Our specialised team of experts guarantees the highest quality standards.
Many of them used to work in the KÜSTERS textile industry and have learned their trade from the bottom up." And he added: "Because of our integration into the global group network and our close partnership with Kusters Calico, we have the support of a strong partner and have access to the entire product knowledge base of KÜSTERS textile plants." The first four plants, including hydraulic power units and control panels, are currently being assembled.
