ORION
ORION – 100% viscose rayon – filament yarn shiny
Better shape stability
Viscose - also known as artificial silk - has always captivated with its natural, silky character and was the No. 1 embroidery thread for decades.However, due to the poorer washing properties of viscose, it has been largely replaced by our "SETAFIL" quality, which hardly differs visually from viscose, but guarantees significantly better shape stability of the embroidery after washing.
However, viscose embroidery thread is still used for raw embroidery of cotton or viscose fabrics, which are subsequently piece-dyed or dyed as ready-made garments.Viscose we offer from stock in raw in quality Dtex 133x2. Colors are produced on customer's request.
AEROFIL

The following yarn counts and colors are available from stock:
Dtex 167/1 – Raw, White, Black (colored on order) | Dtex 900/1 – Raw, (White, Black, colored on order).
PVA
POLYVINYLALCOHOL
Water soluble sewing thread
Etching embroidery, also called guipure or air embroidery, involves embroidering on an auxiliary fabric that is released after embroidery.Often a water-soluble non-woven fabric is used for this purpose, which is sewn together in strips for industrial production. If this sewing together is done with a normal sewing thread, it remains in the finishing machine when it is washed out, clogging it.
The solution
To solve this problem, we offer you a 100% PVA sewing thread in Ne40/2 strength, which dissolves in the low temperature range at 20°C and thus leaves no residue when the fleece is washed out.
The yarn is available on sewing cones with 4,000 meters.
Spools and cones
SPOOLS
After dyeing, the yarns are re-contoured or rewound into a variety of different presentations.
This is also done in-house and is a very important part of the final inspection.
Approximately 600 tons of embroidery bobbins are produced annually for the embroidery industry and shipped all over the world.
CONES
We supply other industries on cones from 250gr – 1,5kg.
In order to guarantee a constant quality also here,
the machinery of the coning plant was equipped with quality winding machines
Swiss SSM and Italian Fadis.
Twisting
Twisting
On RATTI and ICBT twisting machines we produce 150 tons of high quality twisted yarns per month.
The qualities processed range from polyester, viscose, polyamide and metallic yarns to qualities produced according to customer-specific requirements.
Raw materials are selected according to strict criteria and are checked for compliance with the parameters upon receipt of the goods.
Further quality checks are carried out during and after each batch so that only flawless goods leave the twisting mill for further processing.
