Truetzschler has taken over the complete responsibility from Toyota for the comber business from engineering up to sales, service and spare parts effectively November 1, 2017. This also includes the HARA service and spare parts business which will be handled by Truetzschler exclusively from February 1, 2018. Toyota Industry Corporation, Japan, and Trützschler GmbH & Co. KG, Germany, had started in 2010 a successful cooperation with a joint development of a new combing machine - the TCO12 - which was exhibited at the ITMA Asia in Shanghai 2012 for the first time.
Since then both companies have sold several hundred machines worldwide, including the newly developed Super Lap TSL12. The installations are running to the satisfaction of all their customers. Post five years of successful cooperation, both companies have now come to a new agreement to strengthen their complementary partnership by focussing on their individual efforts for further innovations and services to their markets.
With about 3,000 employees, Trützschler is one of the world's leading textile machinery manufacturers. Trützschler specialises in machines, installations and accessories for spinning preparation, the nonwovens and man-made fibre industry. The headquarters of the over 125 year old company is located in Mönchengladbach, Germany. The subsidiaries Trützschler Nonwovens and Man-Made Fibers GmbH with two production sites, and Trützschler Card Clothing GmbH, are also located in Germany. Sites in India, China, Brazil, USA and Switzerland, as well as a number of service centres, provide customer proximity in important textile processing areas.
