New generation of Blue prewinders: a quick and easy solution for reducing waste

Picanol has taken responsibility for ensuring a sustainable weaving process. This includes a good filling waste control on airjet machines.

New investment at our production plant in Ieper

Proferro which comprises the foundry and machining activities of Picanol Group, is investing in the future with the construction of a new high-bay warehouse that will stand at a height of no less than 32 meters.

SmartShed now available for sheeting applications up to a width of 360 cm

SmartShed was introduced on the OmniPlus-i airjet weaving machine in 2019 and with effect from July 2020 onwards, SmartShed will also be available for larger widths up to 360 cm for sheeting applications.

A safe working environment thanks to social distancing wearable devices

In Picanol’s assembly department, a new technology, developed by the strategic research center Flanders Make, was introduced. A wearable device guarantees the social distance of 1.5 meters between the workers.

Being close to our customers: it isn’t an idle promise!

For several decades we have heavily invested in building service centers in important textile regions in the world. Now more than ever before, with borders closed and air travel shut down, this is really paying off for our customers.

Picanol is proud to announce that Milliken & Company has chosen to continue its longstanding relationship by adding another large group of our latest generation airjet weaving machine, the new OmniPlus-i.
