Groz-Beckert will showcase its latest innovations across knitting, weaving and nonwovens at ITM 2026 in Istanbul in Hall 3, Booth 304B.
Knitting
In the circular knitting segment, Groz-Beckert will spotlight the LCmax, the next generation of energy-saving needles.
Featuring a pioneering wave-shaped shank geometry, the LCmax delivers optimized energy efficiency, reduced friction, and easy handling — enabling maximum performance with lower energy consumption.
In the flat knitting segment, Groz-Beckert will present two specialized needle solutions. The first is SAN TT which has been developed for particularly tight loops and ideal for technical and medical textile applications.
The second SAN FY has been engineered for processing uneven effect yarns, ensuring a flawless fabric appearance even in demanding and complex designs.
In the legwear segment, visitors can discover the dur needles, recognized for their exceptional durability and precision in the production of fine hosiery.
In case of warp knitting, Groz-Beckert will showcase its continuously expanding module portfolio, setting new benchmarks in precision, stability, and efficiency for loop formation processes.
Weaving
The weaving area will present the KnotMaster tying machine, a high-performance solution for efficient and flexible weaving preparation.
“Thanks to its modular and compact design, the KnotMaster enables fast warp changes and reduced processing times, helping weaving mills achieve higher productivity,” the German company said in a press release.
The system reliably handles complex patterns as well as demanding upholstery yarns, covering a broad range of standard and special applications and these capabilities will also be demonstrated live.
In addition, Groz-Beckert will showcase its comprehensive portfolio of reeds, healds, and drop wires, optimized for a wide variety of applications and tailored to meet diverse production requirements.
Another highlight is the PosiLeno system, which offers virtually unlimited patterning possibilities, maximum flexibility, optimized shed formation movements, and easy installation — making it an efficient solution for modern leno weaving applications.
Nonwovens
The nonwovens product area will present its latest innovations, ranging from a needle designed to significantly reduce insertion and removal times, to the Digital Ecosystem, which enables nonwovens manufacturers to optimize and automate their production processes.
Furthermore, the unique Groz-Beckert Mounting Service for the Nonwovens Carding product group will be showcased, as well as the newly developed CB-barb felting needle.
