French textile equipment manufacturers, who have been active in the Turkish textile market for many years, will meet face to face with their customers after a long break at ITM 2022, to be held at TÜYAP on June 14-18. French textile technology manufacturers, including NSC (n. Schlumberger), Superba and Dollfus & Muller, will exhibit their industry 4.0 and innovation-oriented solutions at the exhibition. Visitors will be able to experience the modernization of the companies’ recycling lines, the changing demands of the carpet industry and their special developments for finishing and nonwoven fabric factories.
French Textile Equipments Manufacturers’ Association (UCMTF) Secretary General Christian Guinet emphasized that ITM 2022 is a major opportunity to meet in person with many of their Turkish partners after a long time. Guinet stated that he knew this market particularly well as he travelled around Türkiye for many years as the marketing manager of a world-leading equipment manufacturer and underlined the importance of R&D, saying; “Our members have to be closer and closer partners for their customers in order to interact with them, understand their needs, focus their R&D to find solutions, offer state-of-the-art equipment and the best service to every customer. French textile equipment manufacturers are R&D and service geeks. As they are SMEs run by entrepreneurs just as their Turkish customers, it is very easy for them to understand each other very well and to go beyond usual business relationships.”
NSC; from Tow to Top
NSC, developing equipment solutions for all types of textiles, will host its visitors at booth 315E in Hall 3 of Türkiye agent Samoteks Makina Mümessillik.

Superba responds to the new demands of the carpet industry
French textile equipment manufacturer Superba, under the umbrella of the Vandewiele group, will present their latest developments for the carpet industry in Hall 2 at booth 215A during ITM 2022. Superba responds to the needs of adapted processes, more efficient and combined machinery in order to develop new yarn types needed in carpet production. It offers a hot air heat-setting solution with the DHS3 line in addition to heat-setting with saturated steam under pressure with its market-known TVP3s. This three-layer heat-setting process provides a high level of evenness and a highly homogeneous fixation to the yarn, as well as stain resistance or enhanced bulk.
B403 automatic winding machine, which expands its application area beyond carpet yarn, marks a real technological breakthrough with its individual spindle motorization drive; it enables a constant tension winding process, an accurate bobbin length measurement and unmatched quality control for each yarn position. The winder can be connected through cloud computing to the VANDEWIELE “Texconnect” supervision system to comply with the Factory 4.0 concept.
Superba, which has been operating in the Turkish market for many years, has an assertive position in the market in heat-setting and space-dying for carpet yarn with a total of more than 350 lines it sold in Türkiye. The company maintains strong and close ties with its customers with the support of Samoteks Makina Mümessillik, its agent in Istanbul, and a large inventory of spare parts managed by BİLGE-Otomasyon, its exclusive distributor located in Gaziantep.
