France is the 6th machinery exporter with the total turnover is over 1 billion Euros (1.3 billion US$).
French textile machinery builders offer complete solutions for all ranges of textile production. For the long fibre spinning industry: new techniques to improve dramatically the quality standards, the operating and maintenance costs, and on line quality controls. The innovating range includes the design of complete lines. For the twisting and texturing of yarns: the opportunity to develop high-tech yarns for traditional and technical applications, Jacquard machines and dobbies developments make feasible spectacular increases in the speed of the production processes together with higher quality and more reliability. Dyeing: consistency improvements together with energy and water savings. In new sectors of the textile industry like the nonwoven processes the French machinery is also at the pinpoint of innovation. Recycling the textile materials at the end of their life cycle and transform them into new products, being environmentally friendly, is also an issue on which the French machinery manufacturers are among world leaders. French machinery manufacturers are less and less offering standard machines but, more and more, tailor made solutions designed with their customers and partners to enable these customers to introduce new products with high added value and compete successfully in their own national market and in the open world. Rousselet Centrifugation, Callebaut De Blicquy, Petit SA and Laroche are some of these companies worth to mention:
