In this interview, Mr. Hendrik Jordan, Sales Manager at BB Engineering GmbH, discusses the company’s diverse portfolio, including extrusion lines, spinning lines, recycling lines, and air texturizing technologies.
He highlights the company’s strong focus on the Turkish market, where they have seen significant success over the past year, and outlines their strategic expansion into North Africa and the Middle East. Mr. Jordan also delves into BB Engineering’s advancements in recycling technology, emphasizing their zero-waste solutions and the high-quality outputs of their innovative recycling lines.
Overview of BB Engineering’s Portfolio
Our portfolio combines extrusion lines, spinning lines, recycling lines, and the new addition of air texturizing. We also offer large filters. Essentially, we cover everything related to synthetic fibers and synthetic films.
Focus on the Turkish Market
Currently, the Turkish market is our primary focus. In the past 12 months, we have sold over 20 lines there. Our presence in this market is robust, and our customers are extremely satisfied with our machine configurations and products, particularly the high-quality yarns. We anticipate continued growth in this market over the coming years, despite any potential fluctuations.
Expanding into New Markets
We are also exploring opportunities in North Africa, particularly Algeria, where production of our products is beginning. Additionally, the Middle East, including Dubai, is showing increasing interest. While our main focus remains on the Turkish market, we are working on expanding our recycling lines, which are crucial for sustainability. Over the past five years, we have developed two machines: one in Thailand and another upcoming in India.
Advancements in Recycling Technology
Our recycling lines focus on polyester and provide a zero-waste solution. This technology allows us to recycle textile waste and spinning waste, including startup lumps. The machine homogenizes the material, filters it, and enhances its intrinsic viscosity (IV), producing high-quality granules that can be reused in spinning lines.
Our machine includes components to remove fumes and moisture through a vacuum system, ensuring the material is properly homogenized. Additionally, our extrusion line features a degaussing point to further purify the material particles, ensuring they meet the required quality for reuse.
