Used Textile Machinery

A major part of CLASSEN-TM's business is the purchase and sale of second-hand textile machinery and complete production lines. The company's portfolio covers equipment for several stages of textile manufacturing, including:

• Spinning machinery
• Weaving machinery and looms
• Dyeing machinery
• Textile printing machinery
• Finishing machinery
• Velvet and pile fabric machinery
• Carpet weaving and finishing machinery
• Yarn preparation equipment
• Textile machinery spare parts and auxiliary equipment

The company also deals with complete spinning plants, including ring-spinning and open-end rotor-spinning installations, as well as complete dyeing and finishing plants. classen-tm.com

Weaving, Velvet and Carpet Machinery

CLASSEN-TM has particular experience in machinery for velvet, pile fabrics and carpets. Its website specifically references equipment from manufacturers such as Van de Wiele, Güsken, Günne and Schönherr. The company also handles rapier looms from manufacturers including Dornier and Picanol and has experience with Jacquard-equipped weaving systems. classen-tm.com

This specialization is connected with the Classen family's earlier textile manufacturing background. According to the company, the family's V. Gierlings GmbH & Co. KG business produced velvet for more than 15 years for applications including decoration, upholstery, apparel, artificial fur and technical textiles. classen-tm.com

Dyeing, Printing and Finishing Equipment

CLASSEN-TM supplies both individual machines and production lines used in textile wet processing and finishing. Its machinery activities include dyeing machines, continuous dyeing systems, washing equipment, stenters, raising machines, polishing and shearing machinery and equipment designed for pile-fabric finishing. classen-tm.com

The company has previously handled the sale of complete dyeing and finishing facilities as well as machinery from European textile factories.

Complete Textile Production Plants

CLASSEN-TM is not limited to individual machine transactions. One of its more distinctive activities is the handling of complete textile factories and production departments.

The company reports experience selling machinery and complete production assets from textile businesses involved in yarn preparation, weaving, dyeing, printing, finishing, embroidery, interlining and carpet manufacturing. Such projects can include not only production machinery but also supporting industrial equipment such as compressors, boilers, water-treatment equipment and workshops. classen-tm.com

For textile companies closing a plant, replacing production lines or selling surplus equipment, CLASSEN-TM can also assist in locating potential buyers.

Machinery Dismantling, Relocation and Installation

In addition to machinery trading, CLASSEN-TM provides services associated with moving industrial textile equipment. The company can arrange dismantling, loading, transportation, reassembly and installation of purchased machinery. Worldwide shipping can also be organized. classen-tm.com

Its services further include technical inspections, modernization and extension of existing or purchased machinery, internal relocation of equipment and temporary machinery storage. CLASSEN-TM also states that it can handle documentation associated with international transactions, including letters of credit, customs and tax paperwork. classen-tm.com

Technical Consulting and Know-How

Machinery transactions can require considerably more than locating equipment, particularly when complete production lines are being relocated. CLASSEN-TM therefore also offers technical consulting and can help arrange the transfer of production know-how and cooperation with suitable technical partners. classen-tm.com

This makes its activity broader than that of a conventional machinery marketplace: the company combines machinery trading with technical and logistical support for industrial textile projects.

International Textile Machinery Trading

CLASSEN-TM operates internationally and maintains relationships with textile manufacturers, machinery manufacturers, machinery dealers and industry organizations. The company states that it has supplied machinery to textile markets across Europe, Asia, the Americas and North Africa. classen-tm.com

For buyers, the company can search for machinery according to technical specifications. For textile manufacturers wishing to dispose of surplus machinery or entire production facilities, CLASSEN-TM can assist with international sales and buyer identification. classen-tm.com
