From December 16 to 19, 2025, the global textile industry will gather at ShanghaiTex at the Shanghai New International Expo Center (SNIEC), where Groz-Beckert will present its latest highlights and innovations across its five product areas – Knitting, Weaving, Nonwovens, Sewing, and Spinning – at Hall N3, Booth A05.


Innovations across five product divisions


Knitting

In the Circular Knitting segment, the spotlight will be on the LCmax™, the next generation of energy-saving needles. Featuring a pioneering wave-shaped shank geometry, LCmax™ ensures optimal energy efficiency, reduced friction, and ease of handling – delivering maximum performance with minimal energy consumption.

Additionally, the cooperation with machine builder BORGFLY will be presented. Together, a new LCmax™ needle with an customized hook geometry has been developed. The first prototype of this specialized needle was delivered after just four weeks.

For applications using staple fiber yarns, the SAN™ SF staple fiber needle and SNK SF sinker combination reduces contamination and extends cleaning intervals, boosting overall efficiency.

In Flat Knitting, the cooperation with machine builder CIXING will be highlighted, where the durable VOSA-SPEC. 89.60-45 G02 needle has been developed.

In addition, two specialized needles take the stage:

  • The SAN™ TT, designed for particularly tight loops, ideal for technical and medical textiles.
  • The SAN™ FY, engineered for processing uneven effect yarns, ensuring flawless fabric appearance even with complex designs.

The Legwear Segment will showcase dur™ needles, known for their extreme durability and precision in fine hosiery production. Complementing these are new system parts, including toe-closing components that guarantee uniform loop transfer and perfect fabric finish.

In Warp Knitting, Groz-Beckert presents its expanding module range and an innovative guide needle for Piezo-Jacquard machines, setting new standards in precision, stability, and efficiency for loop formation.
