Today, textiles are also indispensable for mobility – from the automobile to space travel – as well as for the health sector. Behind all this are complex knitting, warp knitting, and weaving technologies, sewing, felting, structuring and carding processes – and almost always products from Groz-Beckert.Since 1852 Groz-Beckert accompanies machine builders and companies in the textile industry.
