Germany's Oerlikon's Manmade Fibre group and Chinese chemical group, Huitong Chemical Engineering Technique Co. Ltd, have opened a joint venture called Oerlikon Barmag Huitong Engineering.

The new enterprise is expected to offer systems customers a completely integrated process from a single source – starting with the production of the process appropriate melt all the way through to textured yarn, flat yarn and processing of staple fibres for various industrial and t extile polyester and polyamide applications, according to a press release.

Paul-Gerhard Völpel, engineering division within the manmade fibres segment said, “With this expansion of the portfolio, we will now be supplying our customers from a single source – hence allowing us to supply our clientèle with guarantees for the end products. Furtherm ore, we can offer our customers a much more comprehensive all-round service offering for the entire lifespan of their systems.”

Gerhard Völpel added, “For our customers, this means that they now have just one contact partner and no longer have to communicate with different suppliers. This is particularly relevant both for reacting to market trends in a timely manner and to be able to carry out necessary technology optimizations and adjustments triggered by trend-related product changes. In addition to this, we are now considerably faster at implementing projects and potential adjustments, resulting in significant cost reductions. And because we are able to supply the entire system – from the melt production equipment through to the systems required to produce the textured yarn package – we are able to offer optimum services within the context of the respective project.” (GK)
