The C 70 card is one of Rieter’s most successful products. On April 28, 2016, Rieter presented a crystal cube of the C 70 card No. 3333 to the Chinese customer Kashi Xinyue Textile Co Ltd. Rieter launched the C 70 card in 2010. Since then, the company has successfully delivered 3,333 machines of this type, of which every fifth unit is processing man-made fibres or blends. Kashi Xinyue Textile Co Ltd, Xinjiang received the C 70 card No. 3333.

CEO of the Rieter Group, Dr Norbert Klapper, handed the crystal cube over to Youwen Sun, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Kashi Xinyue Textile Co Ltd., during the inauguration of the new sales and services branch in Xinjiang on April 28, 2016.

In order to meet market demand Kashi Xinyue extended its capacity and invested in Rieter machines. It is the second cooperation with Rieter. Youwen Sun: “We believe that Rieter is the best short staple spinning system supplier.” As all machines from Rieter have been running with high quality performance, stability and reliability, the company insisted on purchasing all machines from Rieter in their second phase project: “In the first phase project”, Youwen Sun said, “we bought C 60 cards which have been running for about three years with excellent performance in terms of quality, production and efficiency. Thanks to Rieter’s first-class equipment, Kashi Xinyue’s products not only meet high market requirements very well but have also been very profitable for the company.” The C 70 card features the largest active carding area, high production, high quality and high efficiency.
