SwissTex Winterthur AG is a global manufacturer of textile machinery and a system provider with a profound knowledge of BCF and T&I extrusion processes for the continuous filament market. The company is located in Winterthur, Switzerland and has 75 employees. We have a Technical Trial Center, where Pilot Plants for BCF and T&I are installed.

Since April 22nd, 2010 SwissTex France SAS (www.swisstex.fr), located in Valence, France, is a 100% affiliate of SwissTex Winterthur AG. SwissTex France has got the experience of Verdol, ARCT, ICBT, Rieter and RITM. The French company is a process expert in Twisting, Assembling, Cabling, Covering & Winding of yarns made of synthetic, artifical, natural and mineral fibers. SwissTex France designs and manufacturers machines for Technical yarn markets (Carpet, Industrial & Tire, Glass) and Textile yarn markets. Thanks to this acquisition, which is a perfect complementation of its product line, SwissTex offers now to its customers complete filament yarn processing solutions.

Furthermore we have a sales and support office in Shanghai, China. This allowed us to set new milestones involving China. The combination of strong international experience and a keen understanding of local market conditions guarantees improved service for, and attention to, the customers. The opening of this office demonstrates the importance of the customer and market proximity for SwissTex.

Formerly, the filament business unit was part of the Rieter Group. In December 2006, Bavaria Industriekapital AG (www.baikap.de), located in Munich, Germany, took over these activities and took on the member of staff and personnel in accordance with an asset deal. The structure of this innovative deal has enabled the various interests to be harmonised perfectly.
