About ICBT – A well-known name in textile machinery engineering
ICBT (Institut Coton et des Industries Textiles) was a pioneering French manufacturer specializing in twisting, cabling, and winding machines for textile applications. Founded in Genas, France, ICBT built a reputation for engineering excellence and innovation, particularly in high-performance fiber processing.
The evolution of ICBT – Now part of saurer & E-TEX
In 2015, the Saurer Group acquired the assets of Verdol, the successor to ICBT, integrating their technologies and innovations into Saurer’s portfolio. This acquisition allowed Saurer to upgrade and enhance existing ICBT/Verdol machinery, extending their lifespan and improving efficiency.
Additionally, E-TEX, a company based in Valence, France, continues to develop and manufacture textile machinery and systems originally designed by ICBT, Rieter FYT, and Verdol, ensuring ongoing support and innovation for users of ICBT equipment.
Why ICBT machines are still in high demand
ICBT’s specialized textile machinery remains highly sought after due to its precision, reliability, and adaptability. Industries continue to rely on ICBT technology because of:
- High-Performance Yarn Processing – Advanced twisting, cabling, and winding solutions for demanding applications.
- Superior Tension & Speed Control – Ensuring consistent and high-quality output.
- Durability & Longevity – ICBT machines are built to last, minimizing downtime and maintenance costs.
- Versatile Material Compatibility – Suitable for synthetic fibers, industrial yarns, and high-strength textiles.
The growing market for high-quality used textile machinery
As manufacturers seek cost-effective and sustainable solutions, demand for pre-owned textile equipment continues to rise. Purchasing used ICBT machinery allows companies to:
- Reduce capital expenditures while maintaining production efficiency.
- Gain immediate access to operational machines without long lead times.
- Ensure compatibility with existing textile processing systems.
At SSMI, we bridge the gap between companies decommissioning their facilities and businesses looking for affordable, high-performance equipment. Our role is to facilitate a seamless transition, ensuring that valuable textile machinery remains in productive use rather than being scrapped prematurely.
