For even longer service life

Downtime costs money. The objective of product improvement and further development of individual tufting tools, therefore, is optimization of all the tools in the tufting process. The preconditions here are the targeted selection and successful combination of high-quality materials in special production processes – because it is only when components are successfully connected that special efficiency can be achieved. And it is this special efficiency that guarantees the outstanding quality of Groz-Beckert tufting knives in the SC series (SC = System Cut). The results speak for themselves:
