The world of sewing - The needle by SCHMETZ


Sewing-Partners - We understand!
Every single industry within the sewing world imposes very different demands on the sewing process. SCHMETZ analyses these demands continuously and implements the findings in products and services. In this way, we have systematically aligned ourselves to the individual needs and sensitivities of over forty industries of the sewing world.

Through cooperation with universities, scientific institutes and the industries, we monitor current developments in every industry very thoroughly. So we are always informed about every detail, which helps to make us a competent partner. This has earned us the appreciation of quality managers, production executives and technical specialists from a wide range of successful manufacturing firms, which regard close cooperation with SCHMETZ as a way of guaranteeing optimum sewing results.

Service - Our time at your fingertips!
Our central expertise is providing comprehensive advice about the sewing process. We regard ourselves as sewing experts who are very precisely informed about all the parameters which influence sewing in any way. Textiles or other sewing materials, needles, threads and machine settings have to be carefully adjusted to one another, since these factors have a decisive influence on sewability, quality and durability.

We maintain a constant dialogue with the manufacturers of threads, fabrics and machines in order to perfect our high-performance needles and to optimise every single aspect of our customers’ sewing processes.

The SCHMETZ SERVICEHOUSE is the focus of all our service activities. Experienced sewing consultants provide support regarding any sewing or processing problem, conduct training programs and seminars, and offer technical information. These include the “Guide to Sewing Techniques” with technical advice across all sectors and the industry folders which contain specific industry-related literature for the various industries. An integral part of the industry folders is the so-called “Sewing Focus”, which is already available for 20 different industries. Additionally, there is the “Product Focus” which includes specific needle recommendations for the different industries as well as a list of the most-used needle systems.

In this way, we help our customers to gain a top performance and to maintain their competitive edge.

Needle range - Tailored solutions!
SCHMETZ has a complete range of needles for every industry related to sewing. Whatever the sewing assignment, we can place a needle system at your disposal, with different needle sizes and various point styles. In many cases we can also offer alternative surface coatings. This diversity is essential to ensure that however complex the task, we can always offer a sewing machine needle which is ideal for the purpose.

Innovation - A feeling for trends!
The vision into the future has always been our motor. We have often pioneered the development of new types of needles, improved surface coatings and special production techniques. In addition, SCHMETZ laid the basis for establishing the industrial standards for needles.

Today our main target is to work on solutions for the applications of the future. Independent research groups at SCHMETZ concentrate on innovative sewing processes for high-tech materials such as smart textiles, PCM, carbon fibres, glass fibres. In this way, we are opening up unprecedented possibilities in a spectrum of different fields. Textile manufacturers as well as for example manufacturers of medical aids, road construction materials, aerospace equipment or ship and boat building industries will benefit from our innovations.

Know-how - Giving our best!

Every needle we produce is backed by all our expertise and experience.

The highest-grade materials, the strictest testing procedures, state-of-the-art manufacturing and our readiness to provide every support in the day-to-day application of sewing machine needles - together, these give our customers the certainty of being able to meet any requirement in the sewing process.
