The Swiss-based Schärer Schweiter Mettler AG (SSM), the inventor of the electronic yarn traverse system, continued its trend-setting tradition with its presentation of breakthrough technologies. SSM showed new solutions for cost-effective winding and yarn processing. With five new product launches and a number of new innovations and applications for their well-known product range, the company displayed a total of nine machines at ITMA.
Machines for applications in dyeing/rewinding, assembly winding, air texturing, draw winding, yarn singeing and sewing thread were on display.
SSM was happy with the number of high quality visitors to its stall. Interesting discussions concerning open projects or on the latest SSM equipment were held. Once more the reputation of SSM as the market leader in the products it specialises in was acknowledged and, with its worldwide service network, SSM is able to provide the maximum return on customer investments.
The machines displayed and the booth layout were quite impressive, and customers showed keen interest in the new DP5-T as well as a mobile-application that allowed them to view the products on their smart phone.
In general, all the exhibitors, from front-end spinning to back-end weaving and knitting, including SSM, reported good business having received several orders.
