Spreading its wings beyond its traditional strong area of short staple and cotton textiles, and after extending to technical textiles a few years ago, A.T.E. has now set-up a new Synthetic Machinery Division.

A.T.E. which has a formidable presence in textile engineering with end-to-end solutions from ginning to garment and technical textiles, is aiming to emerge as a key player in the synthetic segment as well, which is growing rapidly fuelled by increasing consumption of synthetic fibre and filament in apparel, functional and technical textiles applications.

A.T.E. already represents Fleissner (Germany) a part of the Truetzschler Group for supplying polyester and carbon staple fibre making lines, so it is making its debut into the synthetic sector on a strong footing. The company plans to tie-up with other world class manufacturers as well to be able to supply a complete range of machinery.
