WELKER SPINTECH GMBH

WELKER was founded in 1856 by Philip Welker, and is therefore, one of the most traditional suppliers for the Textile Industry. WELKER started with the manufacturing of felt washing machines, paper processing machine lines with roller fulling and hammer die cutting machines. Almost simultaneously, the demand for vacuum steamers arose, and in 1941 and the first generation of vacuum steaming equipment was developed and successfully introduced to the market. WELKER systems are installed world wide and are applied in all areas of heat-setting, conditioning and drying. In order to diversify the product range, WELKER SPINTECH was founded in 2004 as sister company of PH. WELKER. New products were developed, such as the SORTIMAT contamination sorter and the ROVEMASTER roving bobbin cleaner. The cooperation with Messrs. SIEGER SPINTECH LTD. in Coimbatore, India was successfully started and we moved out into new facilities. In 2006 we changed our product range incorporating WELKER conditioning and heat-setting machines into our machine programme. Our structure is based on outsourced manufacturing at renowned German suppliers, whereas engineering, service and development are in our hands. Today, we produce a wide range of textile and industrial autoclaves for many purposes, notably for vacuum, high pressure and steam treatments.
