German company WEKO acquires RotaSpray to expand textile segment

Both companies believe that these segments will offer good future opportunities as the demand for a resource-saving, CO₂-reduced dyeing and finishing process for textile yarns and fabrics is increasing rapidly. Likewise, there is now a market trend of ever smaller production lot sizes per order. "We can now meet these requirements even more efficiently through the company merger," said Rainer Tuexen, former shareholder of RotaSpray GmbH.

Tobias Schurr, the new managing director of RotaSpray GmbH, said: “With the resulting synergies in product development, process know-how and production, we will be able to provide our customers with even more attractive solutions in the future. For us, the actual saving of chemicals, water, wastewater and drying energy is important to make the processes not only more cost-efficient, but also more environmentally friendly."

With its large network, WEKO Holding also brings in a globally well-structured service organisation that will also look after RotaSpray products in the future. RotaSpray will continue to be managed as an independent unit within the WEKO Holding Group and will focus purely on the high-quality textile sector.

WEKO has been developing and producing non-contact application systems for product optimisation and surface finishing with different types of liquids and powdery substances since 1953. The areas of application are broad and the nonwovens, paper, tissue, printing, wood fibre boards, foils and metal industries are successfully supported with WEKO solutions.
