Together, the two companies have successfully identified and adapted to several big transformations within the textile industry. Those achievements are evidence of our shared focus on exploring new technologies and continuously improving production processes. As the latest step forward in this pioneering partnership. Parkdale recently ordered 34 carding machines equipped with Supertip wires from Trützschler on the licker-in, cylinder and doffer roller.
