Bearing solutions for the textile industry and beyond
Temco GmbH, headquartered in Hammelburg, specializes in the development, machining and distribution of bearing systems and machine components. The company has been part of the Rieter Group since 2021 and manufactures precision parts such as roller bearings, texturizing discs, interlacing jets, twist stoppers, and separating and deflector rollers, which are used as key elements in the production of man-made filament yarns (POY, DTY, ATY, FDY, SDY, IDY, BCF). Temco performs the central machining processes – soft and hard turning, grinding, fine machining (honing) and bearing and component assembly – in its own production facilities on computer-controlled machines. In addition to the textile industry, the company increasingly supplies the hygiene, packaging, battery as well as paper and printing industries with customized bearing systems for high speeds, compact installation spaces and long service life. An experienced team of development engineers and sales experts works with customers to develop application-specific solutions. A global network of sales and service centers in over 55 countries supports customers on site.
