The demanding challenges in the global textile industry have been challenging and promoting the innovative thinking of the German company Rosink for seven decades. Being integrated into the Neuenhauser Group in 2015, Neuenhauser Rosink, which continues to operate independently, has opened up additional growth potential and greater networking opportunities.

In the same year, at ITMA, the world’s largest international textile and garment technology exhibition, Rosink presented the cot grinding machine SZ2, a service machine that stands for the successful history and promising future prospects of Neuenhauser Rosink.

"Our SZ2 is the best cot grinding machine on the market," says Martin Schoolkate, Head of Rosink Division, with conviction, thereby expressing the growing self-consciousness within the entire Rosink team. "The first-class grinding results have a direct effect on the quality of the yarn," Schoolkate continues. Designed for semi-automatic grinding of centre guided top rollers, the SZ2 is used in ring spinning and open-end spinning mills. Since its introduction at the ITMA 2015, the service machine has made a name for itself in many countries, but Neuenhauser Rosink announces to continue walking on its path of success since it has not yet been ended. Many customers shall become more aware about the benefits of the cot grinding machine SZ2 based on the promises of reliability, flexibility and longevity on which the team of the tradition-rich company counts.

An SZ2 has a lifetime of up to 20 years. Their complete production takes place in Neuenhaus, and experienced service technicians from Rosink are responsible for the commissioning on site. The touch screen operation is extremely intuitive and allows precise, secure settings. The basic version of the SZ2 can be extended with various products from the Neuenhauser Rosink range such as a magazine module, in order to become a fully automatic machine. This is where another long-standing strength of the company comes into play, which enables stable partnerships for years to come: Individual consulting.

DIENES at Techtextil 2026: Flexible pilot lines for bio-based fiber development

The growing relevance of bio-based materials in technical textiles is accompanied by increasing demands for reproducibility, high-quality data, and scalable process routes. Especially when working with cellulose and its derivatives, chitosan, lignin-based approaches, or bio-based PAN as a carbon-fiber precursor, R&D teams face variable feedstock quality, tighter process windows, and the need for reliable comparability across trials. This calls for flexible, data-driven experimental setups that can be reconfigured efficiently when recipes, solvents, and raw-material batches change.

RETECH showcases high-precision godets for high-performance fiber processing at Techtextil 2026

RETECH designs and manufactures godets and draw frames for heated, ambient and cooled processes, enabling precise heat treatment and consistently high yarn quality for a wide range of polymers and applications, with process temperatures of up to 400 °C for high-performance fibers. The company’s key competence lies in exact and stable temperature and speed control, individually adapted to the specific material and process requirements.

New study shows low environmental impact by Cotton made in Africa Organic Cotton from Tanzania

Today, the Aid by Trade Foundation (AbTF) is announcing the results of a comprehensive life-cycle analysis (LCA) for cotton produced in Tanzania under the Cotton made in Africa Organic (CmiA Organic) standard. The study emphasises the small ecological footprint of CmiA Organic verified cotton. This can largely be traced back to the absence of synthetic pesticides, artificial fertilisers, and artificial irrigation. Consequently, CmiA Organic cotton can help the textile industry meet regulatory requirements as well as science-based targets. The results also show that the consequences of climate change threaten the livelihoods of these cotton farmers, even though the type of agriculture they practise barely contributes to climate change.

PERFORMANCE DAYS proves its relevance as the industry’s key meeting point

Held on March 18–19, 2026, PERFORMANCE DAYS once again confirmed its position as a leading international platform for functional textiles. A total of 3.366 trade visitors and around 560 exhibitors gathered in Munich, with the event already kicking off successfully on DAY 0, which received highly positive feedback for its interactive format. Despite challenging conditions caused by the public transport strike in Munich, the event saw strong attendance and a consistently high level of activity across both exhibition days.
