The Campos company in northern Spain is a leading European textile manufacturer that has specialized mainly in mattress fabrics and stretchable knitted fabrics since it was founded in 1997 and is a global pioneer in "Damask stretch". Campos combines technical know-how with innovation and creativity in textile design.

The result is products of outstanding quality that meet even the most demanding requirements and the highest expectations of customers. The company is certified according to OEKO-TEX 100®, GRS® and ISO 9001 and supplies customers all over the world with high-quality fabrics for mattresses, upholstered furniture, and home textiles. A wide range of natural and synthetic yarns are processed for this purpose - tailored to the respective needs of the customers.

In 2020, the Spanish manufacturer decided to finish all the textiles it produces itself. What applied to the circular knitting machines also became the top priority for the finishing systems: only the best manufacturers were considered. A visit to Brückner in Germany to gain an understanding of the production of the lines as well as the technology convinced Campos of the professionalism of the German market leader in the field of dry finishing. Therefore, in 2023 Campos bought a Brückner POWER-FRAME stenter frame with vertical transport chain for the production plant in the Spanish province of Valencia.

The countered heating and ventilation elements in the Brückner POWER-FRAME stenter ensure a completely uniform air impingement across the entire width of the fabric. The POWER-FRAME impresses with the highest possible drying performance and a process control system tailored to the fabric quality thanks to the technically mature and proven split-flow ventilation system and low specific energy consumption. An extremely robust and low-maintenance chain ensure a long service life and low wear.

The decisive factor for Campos was not only the quality of the Brückner machines, but also Brückner's company philosophy. Both companies are family-run in the second generation and attach great importance to treating employees and the environment with respect and appreciation.

William Clark & Sons – the oldest linen producer in North-ern Ireland commissioned new finishing plant with BRÜCKNER

William Clark & Sons have been providing world class linen direct from Northern Ireland to customers around the world for nearly 300 years. The Company is the only supplier in the world that can produce Beetled linen fabric with that unmistakable sheen. Using the Beetling process the fabric gets pounded for 20 days by wooden hammers on the original beetling engines. This equipment is as reliable today as when they were commissioned over 100 years ago, and the process remains unchanged.

Smart Quality Control for Technical Textiles

In the end, what matters is the result: a filter that performs reliably, a membrane that remains stable in storm conditions, a composite material with precisely defined properties. But the path to achieving this is demanding. In the production of technical textiles, numerous parameters interact – and even the smallest deviations can have major consequences.
