The comprehensive portfolio covers both mechanical and electronic services, including the revision of gear units, servomotor adjustments, and suction drums. The station will also offer preventive maintenance and mill optimization. The service offering spans the entire Rieter product portfolio, including the automatic winding machine Autoconer X6. In addition, highly trained experts will help customers unlock the full potential of Rieter technology so they can better capture opportunities in the fast-moving textile markets.

Highlights of the Kahramanmaras Service Station include the setup of a fully automatic rotor spinning machine R 70 and the winding machine Autoconer X6. Three-quarters of the 2 000 m2 service space is reserved for functional activities, which will feature one of the region’s largest test-spinning facilities. Customers can run yarn comparison tests and analyze the impact of different technology parts so they can optimize machine setups. In-depth yarn trials and access to Rieter textile technology expertise will allow customers to cater more effectively to the dynamic demands of textile brands regarding performance, quality and sustainability, such as recycling applications.

The Kahramanmaras service station is strategically located at the heart of the region’s textile industry, with a large proportion of Rieter’s installed base located within a radius of around 200 kilometers. Türkiye is a textile powerhouse, currently ranking fifth in global exports and poised for additional growth. The country’s industry is also implementing a green action plan to help it meet the growing demand for sustainable textiles, especially from Europe.

Rico Randegger, Head of Business Group After Sales, says: “Customer centricity is a priority for us and the opening of the Kahramanmaras service station is an important milestone. We are moving closer to our customers so we can help them seize growth opportunities faster and more effectively.”
