Focus on the textile world: from research to systematic thinking
Welcome.
According to the Chinese calendar, 2016 is the Year of the Monkey – an animal to which the Chinese traditionally ascribe such qualities as agility, cleverness and sophistication. Groz-Beckert is very much in the same tradition, with its constant pursuit of innovation through smart development and improvement of products, its services to improve productivity and further increase safety in the production process, or its expertise wherever customer challenges are involved. All these are factors in the success of Groz-Beckert.
In this issue Groz-Beckert will again be presenting numerous aspects of different textile technologies that represent innovation and solve problems – and do so with agility, cleverness and sophistication. Discover the world of Groz-Beckert – there's no better time to do so!
