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.

Rieter advances strategic repositioning amid market volatility

Rieter successfully completed the acquisition of Barmag on February 2, 2026, and reached an important milestone in the company’s repositioning. Barmag will be integrated into the Rieter Group as the “Man-Made Fiber” Division. With this strategically transformative acquisition, Rieter is expanding its core business beyond the short-staple fiber business in a targeted way. This positions Rieter as the global market leader along the entire value chain for natural and man-made fibers. In addition, as a complete systems supplier, Rieter is further strengthening its technological leadership in the areas of automation and digitization.

Measure and control the fiber – optimize yarn quality

Producing consistent yarn quality is an everyday challenge – and a very difficult one. Detailed knowledge and understanding of the fiber raw material is absolutely critical to achieving the best possible quality in the yarn. To help spinners, Uster experts have put together guidelines for avoiding yarn irregularity claims, in a special edition of the Uster News Bulletin.

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.

Beyond the wardrobe – innovative cotton takes the spotlight

Cotton can do more – a lot more. Cutting-edge textiles and high-tech products made from 100% cotton prove just how powerfully performance and sustainability can come together. That very surge of innovation is front and centre at the 38th Bremen Cotton Conference, taking place March 25–27, 2026, at Bremen’s Parliament on the historic market square – culminating in a bold and dedicated closing session on Friday. In the spotlight: performance upgrades for pure cotton, smart strategies for circular textile waste solutions, and pioneering concepts for demanding technical applications. From natural fibre–reinforced composites to highly effective flame-retardant solutions, cotton steps out of the closet and shows the future potential woven into every fibre.

Keeping print inclusive: Empowering women in the print industry

Across all industries, cultivating a diverse and inclusive workplace is increasingly recognised as valuable and essential to long-term success. However, despite the print industry’s significant advancements in technology and innovation, visible representation of women remains limited. As the sector grapples with low recruitment, it’s important to challenge outdated perceptions. Creating real change, however, requires collective effort - no single company can do it alone.
