Our promise for your success
Your woven fabric defines our product: It determines the number of dents, the useful length and the wire thickness. No other component in the weaving process is in such close contact with your end product as the reed. By the time you hold the finished woven fabric in your hands, our reeds have already touched every warp and weft yarn. The reeds ensure that thousands of warp and weft yarns can be woven into a fabric with perfect appearance without damage. The high influence we have on your quality and efficiency is our goal and responsibility. Drawing-in, weaving, finished – our goal is your success. Out of that we derive our promises to our customers:
Quality
The consistency of our weaving reeds has a major impact on the quality of the woven fabric. Perfect edge shaping and polish of each dent ensures that thousands of warp and weft yarns can be woven into a fabric without any damage and reduces the number of machine stoppages to a minimum. This and the long lifetime increases the productivity of your weaving process.
