Joint appearance of IQ-SPS and CREALET at the Techtextil

IQ-SPS GmbH (Germany) and CREALET AG (Switzerland) will take the chance to point out their efforts to take advantage of synergies that exist in terms of products, services and market position during the Techtextil from 09 – 12 May 2017 in Frankfurt am Main.

The two companies have the necessary know-how to modernize or overhaul weaving machines. The engineering department is constantly creating innovative products in the field of electronically warp feeding from beams or weaving creels for existing or new wide and narrow weaving machines as well as warp knitting machines.

Special developments were realized in the feeding of carbon fibers.

Core business of both companies are upgrading or overhauling of weaving machines

IQ-SPS and CREALET bring their expertise to bear on adapting and upgrading machines and their warp control systems so that customers get a customized application specific machine.

Upgrading of existing machines or the purchase of used machines does not mean a sacrifice on quality. Quite the opposite: Used and generally overhauled machines are often of higher quality and not so prone to breakdown as new models.

Modernizing Needling – DiloGroup at Techtextil & INDEX 2026

With the theme “Modernizing Needling”, the DiloGroup presents a comprehensively enhanced portfolio for needling technology. The objective is to further increase the performance and application range of needlefelt production lines in terms of productivity, flexibility, and the development of new products, thereby meeting the growing demands of modern technical textiles.

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.
