Trützschler Card Clothing Celebrates 20th Anniversary
20 years back, Trützschler acquired the card clothing business of American textile machinery producer Hollingsworth located in Black Forest in Germany, and created Trützschler Card Clothing (TCC).
Huge changes have happened since Trützschler entered the card clothing industry 20 years ago. Magnet systems for the flat top of the card are one very special milestone for card clothing technology.
These Magnotop (MT) systems enable faster and simpler servicing during production, as well as significant savings in operating costs.
The Trützschler team also developed the self-adjusting flat top, Precisetop (PT), which enables continuous carding gaps that are thinner than a sheet of paper.
Additionally, TCC has also expanded worldwide at impressive speeds as the company now offers production sites, sales teams and service experts close to its customers around the globe.
Importantly, the production facility in Neubulach-Oberhaugstett has also experienced remarkable growth, which is now larger and features a broader range of production processes.
Highly engaged and talented people are the key to this success story. More than 150 employees now work at the TCC headquarters in Neubulach-Oberhaugstett and 350 serve customers globally.
Among ongoing expansions, TCC is constructing a new logistics centre, while TCC teams continuously improve production processes to maximise efficiency while minimising the environmental footprint.
Since it joined Trützschler Group in 2003, TCC has benefitted from its parent company’s distribution channels and OEM equipment.
In the same spirit, the Trützschler Group has enjoyed positive progress overall as a direct result of the two-decade success story of TCC.
Today, TCC has a powerful reputation for leading technological advances and setting new standards in the card clothing market with its inspiring R&D activities and truly global market perspective.
TCC is still a comparatively young business, but its comprehensive portfolio of products and services is shaping the card clothing industry, with big plans for the future.
