50 years of Swiss precision - Retech highlights latest technology to produce high-quality synthetic fibers

High-quality synthetic fiber production requires uncompromising precision and process stability. Godet rolls play a key role in ensuring exact temperature control and maximum reliability. As a Swiss pioneer in thermal treatment for filament fibers, Retech has been setting benchmarks for five decades – with technologies that make production processes smarter, more efficient, and more sustainable.

Hightest Swiss precision and quality for 50 years - Retech godet rolls

At ITMA Asia + CITME Singapore 2025, the team will be on site to share insights, discuss ideas, and show how our solutions can support your specific production requirements.

Smart Control Technology – Predictive, Not reactive

Retech’s godet technology combines precise temperature control with intelligent sensor systems:

+ UTR-6A Temperature Measurement & Transmission – contactless, continuous, reliable

+ UCR-6 Temperature Controller – real-time control and analysis for stable processes

+ Bearing & Vibration Monitoring – early deviation detection

+ Optional Induction Heater Monitoring – added safety

The results are a reduced downtime; longer component life; and improved efficiency – with solutions tailored to each customer’s needs.

50 Years of Swiss Engineering

Retech stands for Swiss engineering in heat treatment, yarn tension monitoring, and process control. The market leader combines decades of experience with continuous innovation – delivering sustainable, energy-efficient, and future-ready production solutions.

This is also how Retech's customers see it. For example, Dr Wan-Gyu Hahm from the Korea Institute of Industrial Technology (KITECH). He said: "Your high-speed inline drawing equipment has been invaluable to our R&D efforts and it continues to be a strong supporter of our work. Thank you once again for providing such excellent equipment and I look forward to continuing our collaboration and communication with you."

Sustainability as a driver of innovation

Our solutions are designed not only to increase efficiency but also to conserve resources. Precise process control reduces energy consumption, minimizes material waste, and extends component life – benefiting both business and the environment.

Join Retech at stand C203 in hall 4 for valuable conversations, knowledge exchange, and exploring collaboration opportunities.

Retech will present advantages of its leading godet rolls at Techtextil

Godet rolls are essential components in the production of synthetic fibres. These heated, ambient or cooled rolls help achieve the perfect yarn quality for a range of materials and applications when it comes to heat treatment for filament fibre applications. Retech's heated godet rolls are designed to meet critical requirements: delivering precise temperature control tailored to each material and maintaining consistent temperature levels throughout the process.

India becomes growth engine for the warp knitting industry

ITMA ASIA 2025 exceeded all expectations for KARL MAYER – above all thanks to the strong interest from India: around 30% of the qualified discussions were held with partners from this traditional textile country. The response underlines the growing importance of the Indian market, which could become the second largest sales region for KARL MAYER after China. The warp knitting industry in particular is developing dynamically.

India ITME Society pushes trade & technology alliances in Singapore

India ITME Society hosted India Networking Program - Fabricating the Future of Textile Industry- From Heritage to High-Tech” on 29th October 2025 at Singapore an exclusive gathering of Ministry of Textile Officials, Embassy Officials, Entrepreneurs, Technocrats, Industry Organizations and Media Personnel's designed to foster collaboration, exchange ideas and explore opportunities in the Indian Textile & Textile Engineering Sector.

Innovation and customer proximity – KARL MAYER’s clear focus makes an impression

ITMA ASIA in Singapore was a resounding success for KARL MAYER, exceeding all expectations. The company welcomed visitors from 39 countries and held around 570 expert discussions. Most guests came from India, followed by China, Indonesia and Pakistan. The exchange with them was both well-founded and targeted. Conversation topics ranged from investment projects and new technologies to opportunities for cooperation and business expansion.

Sustainable, lightweight, and sound absorbing: Polyester-based front trunk solution for BEVs

As car manufacturers look to further reduce their carbon footprint, Autoneum has developed an innovative front trunk solution for battery electric vehicles (BEVs), made entirely from polyester-based textile. The Ultra-Silent Frunk offers significant weight reduction, improved acoustic and thermal insulation, and uses up to 70 percent recycled material, supporting sustainable and efficient vehicle design. Autoneum, global technology leader in acoustic and thermal management for vehicles, has already received orders for the new frunk from three major OEMs in Asia and Europe to be built in three BEV models. Series production for two BEVs has been underway in China and Germany since last year.

Modern testing methods for raw cotton

The 38th International Cotton Conference Bremen will take place from 25 to 27 March 2026 at the Bremen Parliament. This conference has traditionally stood for in-depth expertise and international exchange. The program will focus on technical innovations, market trends, and regulatory frameworks across the entire value chain – from agriculture to the circular economy. With high-profile speakers, the conference is regarded as the key meeting point for the global cotton industry. Today’s focus: Cotton quality and testing methods.

Rieter responds to higher raw material prices

Global political and economic developments have been leading to rising raw material and energy costs for some time. The textile machinery industry is also affected by this trend. Rieter machines and components consist to a large extent of steel, copper, aluminum and electronics. These materials in particular have seen higher demand and higher prices in recent months.
