BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 14. Over the past
decade, Germany’s Monforts has delivered multiple complete
finishing ranges to Turkmen textile enterprises, Thomas Päffgen,
Area Sales Manager at Monforts, told
Trend.
According to him, these projects have included MONTEX stenter
lines, MONFORTEX sanforising systems and THERMEX continuous dyeing
technologies installed within large-scale textile complexes. Most
recently, we have supplied a number of MONTEXCOAT machines.
Thomas Päffgen indicated that the importance of these deliveries
lies not only in the quantity of machinery supplied but also in
their role within Turkmenistan’s vertically integrated textile
production chain, covering all stages from cotton preparation to
final finishing.
“The significance of these deliveries lies not simply in the
number of machines supplied, but in the role they play within the
production chain. Turkmenistan’s textile sector is structured
around vertical integration – from cotton preparation and spinning
through weaving or knitting to final finishing. Finishing
technology determines dimensional stability, shrinkage control and
colour consistency, all of which are essential for export markets,
particularly in home textiles such as bed linen and towelling,”
Päffgen said.
The Manager noted that in recent years, the focus in the sector
has shifted from increasing capacity to consolidating quality, with
attention to process optimisation, energy efficiency and product
consistency.
“Many of the installations supplied earlier are now operating at
a mature stage, and the focus is on process optimisation, energy
efficiency and product consistency rather than purely adding new
throughput,” he added.
Monforts is a German company specializing in the design and
manufacturing of high-tech equipment for the textile industry.
Founded in 1884, it is one of the leading suppliers of finishing
systems for textile mills worldwide. The company offers solutions
for fabric finishing, such as stenter machines, sanforizing
systems, and continuous dyeing, aimed at improving product quality
and enhancing production efficiency. Monforts is also actively
involved in developing sustainable technologies, such as
energy-efficient and resource-conserving fabric processing methods,
and has strong connections with major global textile
manufacturers.
