Benninger AG and Grupo NS join forces to strengthen textile wet processing solutions in Brazil
Switzerland-based Benninger AG has announced a strategic cooperation with Brazil’s Grupo NS to strengthen support for textile manufacturers across Brazil. The partnership combines Benninger’s globally recognized textile wet processing technologies with Grupo NS’s strong local presence, technical expertise, and customer service network, creating a comprehensive solution for Brazil’s textile industry.
Brazil remains one of the largest and most significant textile markets in the Americas. As manufacturers continue to modernize their operations, they increasingly require more than advanced machinery. They seek complete solutions that include process expertise, reliable after-sales service, spare parts availability, operator training, automation support, and long-term technical partnerships.
Through this collaboration, Benninger and Grupo NS aim to deliver exactly that—bringing together Benninger’s engineering excellence in textile finishing and dyeing with Grupo NS’s in-depth understanding of the Brazilian market and close customer relationships.
“Together with Grupo NS, we are bringing Benninger’s complete portfolio closer to Brazilian textile manufacturers. Our aim is simple: help customers improve quality, productivity and sustainability with the right technology and strong local support,” says Rolf Erik Schoeler, Global Head of Sales and Marketing at Benninger AG.
Delivering Complete Solutions for Textile Wet Processing
With more than 160 years of textile engineering experience, Benninger has built a comprehensive portfolio covering both continuous and discontinuous wet processing technologies. Its solutions span the entire textile preparation and finishing process, including:
| Benninger Wet Processing Portfolio | Applications |
| Singeing | Surface preparation for improved fabric quality |
| Preparation & Washing | Efficient fabric pre-treatment |
| Mercerising | Enhanced strength, dye affinity and fabric appearance |
| Cold Pad Batch (CPB) | Energy-efficient continuous dyeing |
| Jet Dyeing | Flexible dyeing for knitted fabrics |
| Jigger Dyeing | Dyeing solutions for woven fabrics |
| Complete Wet Processing Systems | Woven, knitted and technical textiles |
Rather than supplying standalone machines, Benninger focuses on developing integrated processing solutions. Its expertise combines machinery, automation, chemical preparation and dosing systems, fabric handling, and process control into a unified production system.
This process-oriented approach enables textile mills to achieve reproducible production results, high first-time-right rates, and consistently high fabric quality across different fibres, blends, and production batches.
Improving Productivity and Sustainability
The integrated technology package also delivers measurable operational benefits for textile manufacturers.
Customers can achieve:
- Shorter processing times
- Higher production efficiency
- Reduced reprocessing
- Greater manufacturing flexibility for premium fabrics
- Lower water, energy and chemical consumption
- Reduced operating costs through heat recovery, water recycling and caustic recovery solutions
Among Benninger’s key technologies is SingeRay, its advanced singeing system. Designed to provide a clean and uniform fabric surface with reproducible process settings and efficient gas utilisation, SingeRay helps improve the quality and consistency of subsequent dyeing and finishing processes.
Strong Local Support for Brazilian Textile Mills
Grupo NS contributes decades of experience serving Brazil’s textile industry and has established a strong reputation for customer support, technical consulting, and local service. Its close understanding of the needs of Brazilian textile manufacturers enables it to provide fast, reliable assistance throughout the project lifecycle.
“Grupo NS has always focused on bringing high-quality solutions to the Brazilian textile industry. Our cooperation with Benninger allows us to offer Brazilian customers a stronger portfolio, deeper process expertise and reliable local support,” says Rogério Esau, Director NS Química, Grupo NS’s chemical products division with focus on the textile-processing industry.
A Long-Term Partnership for Brazilian Manufacturers
Together, Benninger and Grupo NS will support customers from project evaluation and technology selection through process optimisation and long-term after-sales service. By combining world-class wet processing technology with local technical expertise, the partnership aims to help Brazilian textile manufacturers improve operational performance, enhance fabric quality, and advance more sustainable production practices.
The collaboration reflects both companies’ commitment to delivering complete, customer-focused solutions that address the evolving needs of Brazil’s textile industry while supporting greater efficiency, productivity, and long-term competitiveness.
