ANDRITZ Laroche is a global technology leader specializing in mechanical textile recycling, fiber preparation, and airlay nonwoven solutions for the textile and technical nonwovens industries. Founded in 1926 and part of the ANDRITZ Group’s Nonwoven & Textile division, the company brings nearly a century of expertise in transforming textile waste into high‑value recycled fibers and engineered materials. ANDRITZ Laroche designs and supplies complete textile recycling lines, including cutting, tearing, opening, cleaning, blending, and fiber preparation systems for both post‑industrial and post‑consumer textile waste. These solutions are engineered to preserve fiber length and quality, enabling the reuse of reclaimed fibers in applications such as nonwovens, yarn spinning, insulation, automotive components, filtration, and other technical products. In addition to recycling technologies, ANDRITZ Laroche is a recognized competence center for airlay nonwoven technology, delivering turnkey systems for insulation, bedding, automotive felts, furniture, and sustainable material development. Customers benefit from access to pilot‑scale and industrial trial facilities at the ANDRITZ Laroche Technical Center in France, allowing materials and processes to be validated before full‑scale production. As part of the global ANDRITZ Group, ANDRITZ Laroche supports manufacturers, recyclers, and brands in advancing toward a circular textile economy, offering industrially proven, scalable solutions that reduce waste, conserve resources, and create new value from end‑of‑life textiles.
Allertex of America, Ltd
For 40+ years, Allertex of America has supplied premium machinery to the nonwovens, technical textile, and recycling markets. We provide everything from turn-key plants and process controls to strategic retrofits. Beyond core systems, we supply high-value ancillary spares, including fire protection and specialized pinned lag solutions, to minimize downtime and optimize your global manufacturing performance. For Executives, Plant Managers, Engineering and Maintenance teams, the challenge is clear: transforming textile and nonwoven waste into high-value raw materials while maintaining operational efficiency. Allertex of America invites you to explore how we are bridging the gap between sustainability goals and industrial-scale production highlighting two of our premier partners, Margasa and Texpin. Margasa – The Gold Standard in Tearing & Opening: Whether your facility handles post-industrial garment cutoffs, post-consumer clothing or high-density nonwoven edge trim, Margasa’s modular recycling lines offer the versatility needed for today’s diverse waste streams. Their technology—including the BTO-650 Trim Opener—is engineered for direct, inline feeding, reducing manual handling and ensuring consistent fiber quality for re-processing. The Texpin Advantage – Pinned Aluminum Lags For Engineering and Maintenance Managers, Texpin offers the durability and precision required to maintain consistent fiber opening across all major machinery platforms. Our specialized aluminum lags are engineered to clothe cylinders for the world’s leading recycling equipment, including but not limited to: – Margasa – Laroche – Dell’Orco & Villani – Italiana Rigenerazione (IR) – Truetzschler Why Texpin Lags Matter for Your Operation: Superior Heat Dissipation – High-grade aluminum construction manages thermal stress better than traditional materials, extending pin life during high-speed operation. Precision Pinning – Specialized pin angles and densities tailored to your specific waste stream—from post-consumer denim to high-tenacity nonwoven edge trim. Reduced Maintenance Cycles – Texpin’s rigorous manufacturing standards ensure that lags fit perfectly and wear evenly, reducing the frequency of cylinder re-fitting and unplanned stops. Beyond reclamation, Allertex of America is a strategic partner for the entire technical textile and nonwoven production chain. We provide the high-performance infrastructure required to move from raw fiber to a high-value finished product: Advanced Fiber Preparation: Beyond recycling, we supply high-accuracy Opening & Blending systems and Bale Openers engineered for consistent fiber dosing and intimate blending of synthetic, natural, and recycled fibers. High-Performance Web Forming: We represent the cutting edge in web geometry, including High-Speed Vertical Lapping (V-Lap) for superior resilience and acoustic properties, alongside traditional Carding and Airlay technologies. Precision Bonding & Consolidation: Our portfolio includes a full range of bonding solutions—from Needle Punching for mechanical entanglement to high-efficiency Thermal Bonding Ovens. Automated Finishing & Converting: We offer specialized systems for the final functional stages, including Precision Coating, Laminating, and Automated Cutting/Slitting to meet the exact specifications of the automotive, medical, and filtration industries. Partner with Allertex Today Whether you are planning a complete turn-key facility or looking to optimize an existing line with high-performance Texpin lags, Allertex of America stands ready to assist with your current and upcoming projects. Let our 40 years of technical expertise help you bridge the gap between sustainability and industrial-scale production.
