Wherever we are, textiles play an important part in our daily lives. Whether in fashion and clothing, sport and leisure, in the car, at home or on the road with transport and packaging textiles and with felt used in paper production. They are also used for textile solutions in medicine, in road, bridge and dam building, in nets for the fishing industry and elsewhere.

But we also encounter textiles in many different forms in applications that we do not necessarily come across every day, for example in wind energy rotors or vehicle bodies made of carbon, in boat and ship-building, even, believe it or not, up there in the air and in outer space.

There is, then, an unbelievable diversity of fabrics made from traditional and also innovative fibres and yarns, which are used in many different areas. Behind them are complex knitting and weaving technologies, and sewing, felting and structuring processes. And almost always needles and precision components made by Groz-Beckert.

For more than 150 years, Groz-Beckert has supported the machine builders to the textile industry. During this period, Groz-Beckert has developed from being purely a manufacturer of knitting and hosiery machine needles into the most important system supplier of precision components in the field of textiles and beyond. Step by step, the company has branched out into the business sectors of sewingmachineneedles, felting and structuring needles and tufting needles – complemented most recently by the important sector of weaving machine parts.

With the production of ceramic punching components (CPC), Groz-Beckert has meanwhile also become a supplier to the computer and telecommunications industry.

Our customers' success is the motive power behind our striving for perfection. Our motto is: top product quality, fast availability and first-class service.

We have numerous innovative ideas and patents, decades of dialogue with machine builders, research institutes and universities, a world-wide presence with a closely-knit sales network in more than 150 countries. We have production sites in Germany, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Portugal, North America, India and China, some 7,000 employees and unique production know-how:
