Textile machinery is the enabler of many of the products we use every day. Modern comfort that we can take for granted thanks to previous generations of Swedish innovators.
Did you know that the power of innovation still shines bright and that many new innovations were born from fabric? Let us give you some examples!
In Gothenburg Sweden, the dashboard production for Volvo cars is based on technology from Eton Systems. Originally designed for the fabric industry, equally effective in a number of industries including automotive.
The system is designed to fit into the existing roof space. Products are delivered to the final workspace in the required sequence.
In Värnamo Sweden, the pillow and quilt production for Varnamo of Sweden is made efficient with an automated process by ACG Kinna Automatic. Stepping into the world of automation made them the only producer of pillows, mattress protectors and quilts with manufacturing remaining in Sweden.
Innovative automation originally designed for fibre processing and preparation of filling material, but just as easily tailor made for development projects all around the world.
When green energy is created in a wind turbine, it is done with technology and expertise from ACG Nyström. The production of wind turbines requires precise and versatile cutting solutions to handle the variety of materials, shapes, and sizes involved in constructing blades, nacelle housing, and spinners.
ACG Nyström is marketing and installing Eastman Machine Company’s equipment, designed to meet these challenges, offering advanced cutting solutions for flexible composites like fiberglass and carbon fiber, as well as core materials such as foam and balsa. With the knowledge and experience from ACG Nyström combined with solutions from Eastman, manufacturers can ensure efficient and accurate production, supporting the rapid growth of the wind energy industry.
Vandewiele Sweden plays a crucial role in the global fashion industry by supplying advanced weft yarn feeding and tension control units for weaving looms to leading weaving machine manufacturers worldwide. The journey from weaving machine to fashion begins with these sophisticated units, which ensure precise control and high-quality fabric production.
Advanced weaving control is the bedrock of business for Vandewiele Sweden, which benefits from all of the synergies and accumulated know-how in fabric formation of the market-leading textile machinery builder Vandewiele Group. The accumulated know-how ensures that the fabrics produced meet the highest standards required by the fashion industry.
It started with an idea, and grew into a business based on the passion for technology and chemistry combined. imogo’s spray application is revolutionizing the process of dyeing fabric. Their technology reduces the needs of water, energy and chemicals up to 90% and waste water up to 99%. Sounds like something from the future? It is already here.
Through the power of innovation and technology, it is the imogo mission to transform textile dyeing to a more sustainable industry process.
