Since ITMA Paris 1987 TECHNOPARTNER SAMTRONIC and SCHILLING-KNOBEL did not exhibit anymore until this year’s ITMA show in Munich from the 13th until the 20th of September.

Knobel Beschichtungsmaschinen Göppingen, an old traditional machine manufacturing company founded in the sixties, has served for more than 35 years machines to the textile, nonwoven, carpet and interior automotive textile suppliers world-wide.

End of the eighties TECHNOPARTNER SAMTRONIC and SCHILLING-KNOBEL started developing the machine system based on double belt press technology with low pressure (THERMOFIX^®). With the new and patented THERMOFIX^® process the resilient flooring industry has revolutionized with a big global success, this successfully story keeps going on.

The decision to exhibit once again at ITMA Munich was a reaction of the high number of textile, nonwoven and interior automotive textile supplier inquiries world-wide for an outstanding process based on a high sophisticated machinery design and build for the THERMOFIX^®. The absolute positive interest and back up by the customers over the 8 days confirmed this show presentation.

During the show, we demonstrated a brand new developed scattering machine for the various kind of fibres. This once again approved the global leadership of TECHNOPARTNER SAMTRONIC and SCHILLING-KNOBEL for the scattering technology know-how.
Fibres scattering becomes such important about recycling and sustainability by all our customers!

The ultimate highlight of our ITMA presence was the official announcement of the actual opened

TTC (Thermofix^® Technology Center) in Mühlhausen / Germany

TECHNOPARTNER SAMTRONIC and SCHILLING-KNOBEL invested about four (4) Million EUR in a multipurpose THERMOFIX^® line. Please contact us at any time for further information.

WE ARE BACK AGAIN in the ITMA world and see you soon either at the TTC or at ITMA Barcelona 2011!
