US' Baldwin partners with Blutec to serve Mexican textile industry

Present in the Mexican market for more than 25 years, Blutec is committed to collaborating with companies on the forefront of textile manufacturing technology, including Brückner, Mahlo, EFI Reggiani, Ferraro and now, Baldwin.

Baldwin’s precision spray systems for finishing and remoistening use non-contact spray technology to provide optimal controlled coverage of the exact amount of liquids needed to achieve the specific characteristics of the fabric, saving customers time, money and valuable resources. Because only the required amounts of water and chemicals are applied, water consumption can be reduced by up to 50 per cent, contributing to considerably improved productivity in the finishing process, Baldwin said in a media release.

In addition, these solutions can process a wide range of low-viscosity water-based chemicals—such as softeners, antimicrobial agents, durable water repellents, flame retardants and more for woven fabrics, knitted textiles and nonwovens.

“We are pleased to partner with Blutec in Mexico,” said Rick Stanford, Baldwin’s vicepPresident of Global Business Development for textiles. “We find that this organisation has an excellent reputation in the Mexican textile industry, with a portfolio of machinery principals that provides excellent synergy for Baldwin and our product lines. We’re extremely excited to be onboard.”

Daniele Uslenghi, Blutec’s general manager, said: “The textile industry in Mexico is looking for solutions to help reduce manufacturing costs. Baldwin’s precision spray technology provides savings in energy, water and chemistry.”
