Leopold Dieck
In the early 1990s, Dr. Ing. Leopold Dieck was the CEO of German spinning machine manufacturers W. Schlafhorst AG & Co, the Monchengladbach based manufacture of the rotor spinner called the Autocoro. For more than 25 years the Autocoro has been the most successful automatic rotor spinning machine. More than 2.7 million spinning positions having been delivered to customers all over the world.
"I am confident that once the retrofitting of Autocoro rotor spin-boxes with higher yarn delivery speed Roller-Air spin-boxes is commercially proven in the fully-automated 24 position Autocoro, the existing spinning machine makers will become attentive."
"Particularly more so, because Roller-Air yarns can make soft-handle fabrics which feel more pleasant next to the skin than Rotor yarns."
"The exclusive worldwide use of Roller-Air intellectual property (patents, etc.) will be extremely valuable in achieving a piece of the annual Euro 2 billion market for spinning machines."
