Saerbeck, December 12, 2022 - SAERTEX is realigning its capacities for the production of technical textiles made of glass and carbon fibers worldwide. In the company's global production network, additional capacities for lightweight carbon fiber fabrics will be created at the two German sites. At the same time, machines and systems for the production of glass fiber NCFs are being installed at the sites in India, South Africa and Turkey in order to adapt the company's delivery performance to regional changes in demand.<\/p>\n
SAERTEX is reorganizing its global network of production sites with 12 plants on 5 continents for the production of multiaxial fabrics made of glass, carbon, aramid and natural fibres. This is a building block in the expansion of regional supply chains for the stable supply of the wind power, mobility and industrial markets.
\n\"We are investing in the efficiency of our production plants worldwide so that we can supply our customers economically and reliably with short delivery routes,\" says Christoph Geyer, CEO at SAERTEX. \"In this way, we are adapting our offering to a changing market landscape and making further progress in our global sustainability efforts to reduce transportation distances through local delivery capability.\"
\nAt the company's headquarters in Saerbeck (Germany) and at the site of the subsidiary TK Industries in Selbitz (Germany), additional capacities for the production of multiaxial fabrics made of carbon fibers are being built up. The new range of pultruded carbon planks will also go into series production here. Preparations for this are almost complete.
\n\"Saerbeck is not only an innovation center, but also the most important and sustainable production site within the Group. This applies in particular to technology products in the carbon sector,\" says Dietmar M\u00f6cke, CTO at SAERTEX.
\nThe high demand for non-crimp fabrics made from lightweight carbon fibers is being met by the installation of an additional MAX-5 system for the production of heavy tow fabrics in Saerbeck. \"We are also setting up an additional production shift at the Selbitz site in order to create further capacity for this important area of our product range,\" says M\u00f6cke.
\nIn return, production capacities for fiber optic fabrics are being expanded at other locations of the internationally active family business. The installation of additional multiaxial machines at the SAERTEX plants in India, South Africa and Turkey has already been completed or is in full swing. The construction of the new plant in Mexico has already been successfully completed in recent months, meaning that the SAERTEX site in Ciudad Juarez can now start supplying Mexican customers in the wind industry.
\n\"Despite significant restrictions due to the pandemic, we were able to successfully complete an important part of our global optimization measures,\" says Dietmar M\u00f6cke. \"Depending on demand, we will also use the flexibility of our global production network in the future to adapt our local delivery performance to customer demand.\"<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
