Yarn joining division

The yarn joining line offers to all the quality oriented yarn-processing plants, the possibility to produce knot-free yarns at all stages of textile processing operations. Thanks to different joining techniques (with air, water vapour, heating, wrapping) and the well-known brands names “Jointair®”, “Aquasplicer®”, “Hot-Jointair®” and “Moistair®”, a specific solution is available for each yarn feature and production requirement. For the technical applications, the “Jointair®” family guarantees excellent and reliable performances with all high tenacity filament yarns and rovings, made of polyester, carbon or glass fibre, aramid, etc. of different counts.

Laboratory equipment Division

The line of laboratory textile testing equipment, known as MESDAN-LAB division, is dedicated to the development and marketing of Laboratory equipment, all manufactured according to the major International testing Standards. Its product portfolio includes a complete range of equipment for the testing and the QC of fibers, yarns, fabrics, garments, nonwovens, etc., in traditional textiles, as well as in technical textiles, such as PPE (Personal Protective Equipment), Automotive, Sports and outdoor apparels, etc.
