In Shanghai the new Saurer Group will be close to its first birthday. The group will show some of the main novelties in all business units: a new Zinser ring spinning frame and a new generation Schlafhorst BD rotor spinning machine, new features on the Schlafhorst winding and Saurer embroidery machines, a new product from the Jintan preparation side and also some innovations in the components segment. As a part of the Saurer philosophy of innovation and sustainability, Saurer has created the new label “E3”, the triple added value: Energy, Economics, Ergonomics. Energy: one of the most important cost factors in the manufacturing industry today is the cost of energy and customers look for products with optimized energy consumption. Economics: since labor costs increase worldwide, Saurer offers high quality, productivity enhancing machines with attractive automation options. Ergonomics: Saurer products provide the answers to such questions as: how to optimize operating conditions of a machine and time needed for settings and adjustments? What is the ideal workflow?
