Brückner Textile Technologies was awarded the contract for the supply, installation and commissioning
of machines for dry finishing at a new textile mill in Algeria. It
is a joint venture between the state-owned Algerian
companies Groupe C&H, TEXALG, SNTA and the Turkish Group TAY with more than
forty years of experience in the textile area, founded to build one of the
biggest textile mills in the world.
On a ground of about 2.5
million sqm and with an investment volume of 800 million USD, several vertically structured textile
plants will be built in the next few years,
specializing in various categories of textile end products. More
importantly, the new company is going to forma huge internal service and training centre for new
workers.
The selection of possible machine supplierswas made very carefully. It was selected according
to three main criteria: productivity, quality of the products and highest
possible energy efficiency. On one hand, the machines should allow an easy
operation and on the other hand they
have to offer many possibilities for automation, quality control and remote
maintenance. In addition, the available
local service, as well as on fast and
flexible after sales services were also the consideration factors.
BRÜCKNER was chosen thanks
to its long-lasting and reliable cooperation in the
past. As family-owned and family-run company BRÜCKNER imparts trust and
confidence in a faithful cooperation in future, too.
The first step of the project has been divided into
denim, non-denim and knits sections. The machinery is in place for fully
integrated production lines for 12 million pairs of trousers, 6 million shirts
and 12 million t-shirts per year.
The scopes of machines include stenters, sanfor ranges, thermosol dyeing and highly flexible denim finishing lines. All machines are custom-made and are provided with many options. In
addition, the preparations for the production of home textiles are already
underway.
This mega project comprises several stages
which will be realized within the next years. The project has far-reaching and
multi-purpose aims: Algeria shall become as independent as possible of the
textile imports in medium terms and this project will create a great number of
jobs.
