Albstadt ? Groz Beckert has released details of its new training program at the Groz Beckert Academy. The program for 2014 includes a repeat of the well established courses covering the entire textile value chain as well as a range of completely newly developed courses.

?Whether knitting and warp knitting, weaving, felting or tufting, whether basic, advanced or special course ? experienced and dedicated experts equip the course participants with comprehensive knowledge and practical skills,? the company said.

Training takes place at the company?s Technology and Development centre (TEZ), which includes facilities for research and development across the knitting, felting, weaving, tufting and sewing sectors will also act as an invaluable resource for the company?s global customer base, including machine builders and machine users.
