Spinning
Solution for more transparency in the supply chain

Haelixa offers a traceability solution based on a revolutionary and patented DNA technology for full textile supply chain transparency from source to retail. The company develops a unique marker that is applied directly to the fiber, which allows to identify either a brand, a supplier, a production lot, or a producer. The marker is harmless for humans and the environment, Oekotex 100 compliant, and Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified, yet strong enough to withstand all industrial processing. The test to verify the origin or authenticity of the material can be completed with the garment or any intermediate product.
Combining Rieter’s expertise for processing short-staple fibers with Haelixa’s solution will create more transparent and resilient supply chains with a solution that seamlessly integrates into existing equipment. Haelixa and Rieter have already completed joint in-house testing and validation, resulting in the launch of an automated application of the marker in Rieter spinning systems in liquid form.
"At Rieter, we see an increasing demand of our customers to provide more transparency along the supply chain. With this solution, Rieter is offering customers an automated traceability function as part of their systems which will help them add value to their products for greater success. Rieter and Haelixa will advance the application concept in line with spinners’ needs."
Rico Randegger, Head Rieter Business Group After Sales
"The partnership will give Rieter’s customers access to an integrated and ready to use traceability solution.

The Haelixa technology perfectly complements Rieter’s product portfolio, and we are excited about the synergies and added value we create."
