The Swiss mechanical engineering company Sulzer has officially joined the consortium of the textile technology company Spinnova. The aim is to improve the availability of the fiber developed by Spinnova on the textile market. With the now announced collaboration, Sulzer will play a larger role in Spinnova’s technology development in the future and strengthen the consortium with its engineering expertise, according to a statement.
Sulzer is therefore an important player for applications in industrial infrastructure. The company helps customers improve energy efficiency, reduce emissions and implement circular economy solutions. Through this partnership, Sulzer will contribute its knowledge in various areas of the manufacturing process to support Spinnova’s industrialization efforts.
The two companies look back on a long-standing collaboration. Sulzer has already supported Spinnova with its Woodspin demonstration factory project from planning to the start of production. The company also helped develop the pilot project for the production of microfibrillated cellulose (MFC). According to a statement, the partnership went beyond simply providing machines and included close joint development to increase process efficiency.
Spinnova’s consortium model aims to accelerate the scaling of its technology and fiber supply by engaging partners across the entire value chain. Sulzer’s contributions are intended to improve cost competitiveness and industrial readiness.
Mikko Kautto, who is responsible for Technology Concept and Partners at Spinnova, praised the partnership. “Joint development with Sulzer strengthens our offering to scale Spinnova technology. By combining Sulzer’s technology and engineering expertise with our concept, we can drive industrial development more effectively and improve competitiveness in larger applications.”
