Parkdale, a global leader in spun yarns, continues to enhance its 50+ year collaboration with Trutzschler, a pioneer in textile machinery and card clothing solutions. Their shared focus on innovation, quality, and sustainability has led to the adoption of Trutzschler’s advanced Supertip card clothing wires, further solidifying their partnership.

Founded over 108 years ago in Gastonia, North Carolina, Parkdale has grown into the largest consumer of cotton in the US, producing over 8,000 tons of yarn weekly across 21 facilities in the Americas. Parkdale’s diverse portfolio includes fiber blends like cotton, polyester, rayon, and nylon, serving industries worldwide.

Trutzschler, entering the US market in 1969, has collaborated closely with Parkdale to navigate major shifts in the textile industry. Recently, Parkdale ordered 34 carding machines featuring Supertip wires on the licker-in, cylinder, and doffer rollers. Supertip wires boast 30 per cent longer service life and 25 per cent reduced maintenance, ensuring smoother, cost-effective operations.

With over 300 Supertip variations available, Parkdale benefits from tailored solutions for its wide-ranging applications. Supertip also eliminates the need for grinding new clothings, extending maintenance intervals.

Charles Heilig, CEO of Parkdale Textile Division, lauded Trutzschler Card Clothing’s commitment to quality and innovation, highlighting their vital role in Parkdale’s operations. Greg Duncan, VP of American Trutzschler, emphasized the importance of collaboration and long-term trust between the companies.

As Parkdale and Trutzschler continue to push textile manufacturing boundaries, their partnership exemplifies the power of innovation and shared vision in driving industry progress.
