Yarns, Threads, Tows, Fibers and Strapping

Glenro has used product testing in our laboratory and on site at our customers’ manufacturing facilities to develop unique and cost effective technologies for heat processing yarns, threads, tows, fibers and other synthetic products. We have successful equipment installations ranging from high-efficiency infrared systems to conventional hot air impingement dryers. Working with us typically presents an opportunity to generate higher product revenues and decreased manufacturing costs.
