reorientation runs through Heberlein’s 190-year company history Georg Philipp Heberlein and his descendants ran an exemplary family business with roots in yarn dyeing It developed into a corporate group and ultimately became a highly specialised company that is regarded as the world’s leading provider of air interlacing and air texturing jets for synthetic continuous filament yarns Today Heberlein’s core competence is the development and production of highly-specialised key components for treatment and finishing of synthetic yarns – especially filaments The company story over the years is a showcase of unique innovations The initial concept involved twisting and heating man-made fibre threads at high speeds of 500,000 twists per minutes in a process known as false-twisting This caused the fibres to be deformed and set before being untwisted in the opposite direction The resulting end-products retained their shape and – most importantly – had superb elastic characteristics This process of crimping the yarn – known as texturisation – was patented in 1931 The new yarn type was first made from viscose filaments The brand name Helanca was chosen by combining ‘He’ from Heberlein and ‘Lana’ for wool Helanca’s major commercial breakthrough came in the early 1950s when Heberlein was able to develop and patent special spindles to process polyamide (nylon) filaments Improving the twisting head made it possible to increase the number of twists so that large-scale industrial production started to gain momentum thread output length was equivalent to twice the distance from earth to the moon Annual production reached 2.5 million kilos of Helanca yarn Heberlein responded by authorising more than 100 licensees worldwide in what was now a highly lucrative business Helanca’s success was based on sophisticated mechanical processing the earliest machines had to be developed from scratch with horizontally mounted false-twist spindles was built in the company’s own workshop and put into operation in 1953 These development activities saw the creation of a new branch of the company the former repair and maintenance department became Heberlein Maschinenfabrik Soon it had a comprehensive production programme and became the fastest-growing Heberlein division Heberlein Maschinenfabrik was later severely affected by restructuring in the ever-weakening European textile industry Heberlein no longer built complete machines concentrating on innovating technology components The product strategy targeted the air-jet texturing process Heberlein became active in various new areas Heberlein Fasertechnologie AG was founded and once again concentrated on a core area where valuable knowledge for today’s Heberlein jets was accumulated the Heberlein story stays significant in the 21st century An investment foundation took over the company in 2023 the company has been known as Heberlein Technology AG The beginnings of Heberlein Technology AG go back 190 years to 1835 Georg Philipp Heberlein opened a yarn dyeing business in Wattwil (Toggenburg Five further generations carried on the family tradition adding textile finishing and printing as new activities And gradually they evolved into industrial operations alongside the switch to machine production In 1904 the company owner was found he had to take on more organisational tasks – so an office was set up for the first time Heberlein’s ability to adapt to external conditions helped the company through the various crises and wars of the 20th century mechanical engineering and licensing businesses Heberlein has ranked among the 20 largest Swiss industrial companies at times Innovative strength means the company can keep on bringing new products on to the market to meet the needs of a broadening customer base The range includes: Transparent (sheer fabrics for blouses and summer dresses) Hetex (lace and embroidery fabrics for evening dresses and curtains) Heberlein continues to innovate and inspire with unique yarn properties that not only look and feel great – but also deliver improved process efficiency and profitability In manchen Fällen
