From April 21 to 24, 2026, Groz-Beckert will present its latest innovations and solutions across the product areas of knitting, weaving, nonwovens and sewing at Techtextil 2026 in Frankfurt (Hall 12, Booth B90).

Knitting – precision and efficiency in warp knitting

In the warp knitting segment, Groz-Beckert will showcase its comprehensive module portfolio. By ensuring optimal alignment of functions and tolerances across all components, these solutions deliver high precision, process reliability and flexibility. Customers benefit from reduced setup times, minimized machine downtime and consistently high productivity, even in demanding fine-gauge applications.

Weaving – enabling high-performance technical fabrics

The weaving product area will highlight solutions for demanding technical textile applications, with a focus on high-performance technical reeds. Designed for fabrics with extremely high mesh counts, these reeds enable reliable production for both wire and synthetic materials. Manufactured using advanced processes and stringent quality standards, they ensure consistent fabric quality and long service life.

The portfolio is complemented by healds and drop wires, optimized for a wide range of technical applications and tailored to diverse production requirements.

Nonwovens – driving efficiency through innovation and digitalisation

In the nonwovens segment, Groz-Beckert will present innovations aimed at improving operational efficiency and process reliability. Highlights include a newly developed needle that reduces insertion and removal time, extends needle board service life and minimizes the risk of needle bending.

In addition, the Groz-Beckert Needle Dispenser – part of the company’s broader digital ecosystem – enables automated needle board management and supports more efficient production workflows.

The presentation is complemented by the Groz-Beckert Mounting Service for the nonwovens carding segment, the new CB-barb felting needle and the staple fiber needle punch line. Laboratory services, including fiber analysis, further support customers in optimizing material selection and process performance.

Sewing – digital quality management and advanced needle technology

A key highlight in the sewing product area is INH 2.0 (Ideal Needle Handling), the next generation of Groz-Beckert’s quality management system. With a fully digital workflow, INH 2.0 enables end-to-end tracking of the needle lifecycle – from stock management and usage to disposal.

New modules such as INH@Stock, INH@Routine and INH@API enhance automation, improve transparency and support compliance requirements. The system builds on the company’s broader digitalisation strategy aimed at increasing efficiency and enabling data-driven processes.

In addition, Groz-Beckert will present its SAN™ needle series for demanding applications. Variants such as SAN™ 5.2 and SAN™ 6 ensure high process reliability in technical textiles and heavy fabrics, while SAN™ 10 and SAN™ 10 XS are designed for delicate materials requiring maximum material protection.

The portfolio is complemented by the Litespeed™ needle, developed for heat-intensive sewing processes, ensuring stability at high speeds and in multi-layer applications. Digital tools such as the “Needle Finder” and the “Groz-Beckert Sewing” video series further support customers with application-oriented expertise.
