Benninger is a leading supplier for textile finishing machines. The main focuses
of the company in ShanghaiTex 2017 are to maintain good customer relationship
and get into new potential business contacts.
The main exhibit of Benninger in the show
is Trikoflex drum washing compartment. Its key features are the patented front-
and backwashing drum and 40% higher washing efficiency.
As said, this Triklofex drum washing
compartment was assembled in Benninger’s Suzhou factory in China. Benninger has
established a localized product offering in China that includes open-width
deoiling, soaper and pretreatment ranges for KNIT-LINE. It enables the company
to meet customer needs in China more comprehensively.
Technology
driver: smart solutions to save resources
Mr. Marcel Moser, Regional Sales Director
of Benninger AG, stressed that the main technology driver for Benninger is to
come up with smart solutions to save limited resources such as water and
energy.
“As a matter of fact, each liter of water
we are able to save in our processes represents there is one liter less waste
water to be treated, and one liter of water which does not consume energy
because of temperature and post treatments,” he explained.
Sustainability is becoming
more and more a significant cost factor in the textile industry in the future. For Benninger, the main focus
concerning sustainability is related to the quality which means to maximize the
invested resources with a long life time. In other words, the competitive
advantage of the Benninger ranges for our customer’s is the long lasting quality of its production ranges.
Since the automation and the drive system
get more and more important in respect of quality production including light
weight stretch fabrics as well as minimizing the
resources used, all Benninger’s ranges are equipped with the newest
developments from its automation department.
In addition, as both CPB dyeing and open-width
knit finishing technologies offer huge potential in resource savings such as
water and energy, Benninger will focus on these
areas in the future.
China
to remain the best production base
In China market, there is a trend of
shifting textile production to western China, Southeast Asia and Africa. Benninger
is pleased to see and support the movement happened within China.
According to Mr. Marcel Moser, the “Go West”
trend can actively facilitate the development of an integrated cotton textile,
wool textile, knitting, garment, home textile and industrial textile
manufacturing system in the region.
Meanwhile, the “Go Out” trend shows another
restructuring strategy adopted by Chinese textile companies. They have been
attracted to the Southeast Asia countries by low wages and the possibility of
freer trade with members of the ASEAN and TPP countries.
“However, after the US has formally
withdrawn from the TPP agreement and civil unrests happened in some countries,
we think China remains the best production base for textile companies,”
remarked Mr. Marcel Moser.
