Japan based Toyota Industry Corporation and Trützschler GmbH & Co. KG from Germany, had started in 2010 a successful cooperation with a joint development of a new combing machine - the TCO 12 - which was exhibited at the ITMA Asia 2012 in Shanghai.

Since that time, both companies have sold already several hundred machines worldwide including the newly developed Super Lap TSL 12.

After about five years of successful cooperation, both Toyota and Truetzschler have now come to this new arrangement in order to strengthen their complementary partnership by focusing their individual efforts for further innovations and services to the markets.
