Saurer presents TechnoCorder TC2 with innovation package at Techtextil 2019

Techtextil is the leading international trade exhibition for technical textiles and nonwovens. This year, it will again draw large numbers of industry experts to Frankfurt from 14 to 17 May 2019. Saurer Twisting Solutions will be delighted to welcome customers and visitors to its stand D02 in Hall 3.0. The focus is the two-for-one twisting machine TechnoCorder TC2 along with exciting developments for coarse yarn counts and brilliant innovations for artificial turf.

As a leading company in twisting and cabling of industrial yarns and tire cord, Saurer sets benchmarks in terms of flexibility, productivity and quality.

Unique flexibility

What distinguishes the two-for-one twisting machine TechnoCorder TC2 for industrial yarns is its high flexibility. Self-sufficient spindle drives allow for such production flexibility that individual items can be processed on each separate spindle. The innovative package for coarse yarn counts provides customers with flexibility where the selection of materials is concerned. This feature allows for processing yarn constructions of up to 60 000 dtex with spindle gauge 830 thanks to the modified two-for-one spindle with combined spindle pot and balloon limiter ring. As a result, the customer can also produce coarse articles economically, flexibly and to a high standard on the TechnoCorder TC2. For multi-ply constructions, unwinding caps are available ? these guarantee a precise unwinding of the supply packages.

Innovation package for artificial turf opening up new market opportunities

Increasingly, the fast-paced market for artificial turf is demanding solutions related to the processing PE und PP material. With the new innovation package, the two-for-one twisting machine TechnoCorder TC2 enables the optimum production of different yarn constructions for artificial turf. For improved unwinding process behaviour on flanged bobbins, a campanello for an unwinding speed of up to 260 m/min is also available.

These new features considerably widen the yarn count range, enabling both fine and coarse materials to be processed on the two-for-one twisting machine. With the innovative TechnoCorder TC2, Saurer enables its customers to align themselves in the dynamic market of technical textiles and to play an active role in shaping future developments in this sector.

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.
