Turkey: repairs under way

28/03/2023
Spinning machine manufacturer Rieter has reopened its service station in Kahramanmaras in Turkey, six weeks after the region was hit by earthquakes that led to more than 57,000 fatalities.

Rieter said around two-thirds of the spinning capacity in the region had been affected by the disaster and said the need of its specialist services among local fabric manufacturers was urgent.

The reopening of the Kahramanmaras service centre means Rieter technicians are able to carry out mechanical repairs at mills in the surrounding area.

It said it was “working shoulder to shoulder with customers” to assess the damage and develop action plans to get mills up and running again.
