History

Texkimp was founded in 1974 and is currently the only independent specialist creel designer and manufacturer in the world. The company concentrates soley on the production of creels and related accessories for the unwinding, tensioning and guiding of all types of yarns, tapes and fibres.

In contrast, most other textile machine manufacturers produce creels as secondary products, because they are needed to deliver yarns to their main products, such as texturising and twisting machines, weaving and warp knitting machines, section warpers and beaming machines, and pre-preg or pultrusion lines.
