Von der Idee zum Transfer
Saxon Textile Research Institute
Research
In order to meet the demands for innovation in an expanding market of technical textiles, an application-oriented, industry-related research and development potential is a necessary pre-requisite.
The Saxon Textile Research Institute e.V. (STFI) is partner for these increasingly complex tasks with the professional competence of qualified staff and modern technical equipment. Through close cooperation with other research institutions, numerous interdisciplinary fields of expertise are covered.
The diverse applications for technical textiles and nonwovens require constant improvement and modification of the technologies and thus, further and new development of machines and systems. At the same time, new systems developed by the partners in textile mechanical engineering are tested and their wide range of applications is tried out. On this basis, the STFI works very successfully with textile and nonwovens producers and various manufacturers of textile machinery and nonwoven systems.
