LEXINGTON - Finishing machinery specialist Navis TubeTex has acquired Gaston Systems, a manufacturer of advanced coating systems for the textile and nonwoven industries.
Using propriety foam generation and application systems, Gaston Systems has an international reputation for offering high quality and innovative technologies that meet a range of sustainability requirements for indigo, reactive and other dyeing concepts.
Founded in 1979 and with more than 500 installations worldwide, Gaston Systems’ technology for indigo dyeing eliminates waste water at the end of the manufacturing process while driving down energy usage. According to one of the leading denim jean brands, the foam process requires 60% less energy and mitigates by the same percentage.
Welcoming the deal, Christoph Aurich, Managing Director of Gaston Systems said: “I have known and worked with Navis TubeTex for many years. Our systems are frequently integrated with Navis Tubetex finishing lines making this the right fit for future growth and global expansion. I am very excited by the possibilities as a member of the team.”
