Visit to Gustav Gerster GmbH & Co. KG in Biberach

Posted on 10. October 2025 - 12:17 by

On September 9, 2025, we welcomed Dr. Nicole Hoffmeister-Kraut, Minister of Economic Affairs for the State of Baden-Württemberg, Thomas Dörflinger, member of the state parliament, and representatives of the CDU, the district administration, and the city of Biberach to our company.

The focus was on insights into our more than 140-year company history, continuous development, and Gerster's current business areas—from innovative technical textiles for high-tech industries to our traditional trading business with home textiles. The exchange on the current economic situation, the importance of innovation and digitalization, international competitiveness, and the role of small and medium-sized enterprises in Baden-Württemberg was particularly valuable.

We would like to express our sincere thanks for your visit and the constructive dialogue.
An important signal for the appreciation of Biberach as a location and the textile industry in our region!

September 25′: TechTex auf der JEC Central Europe in Krakau

Posted on 1. October 2025 - 14:09 by

Gustav Gerster GmbH, TechTex division, participated as an exhibitor at this year's JEC Central Europe in Krakow. With a modern booth, we presented our product range in the field of tape and wide fabrics, among other things, and were able to underline our position as a reliable partner for technical textiles in the international composite materials market.

The trade fair appearance provided numerous opportunities to present our solutions to a broad specialist audience. Particularly noteworthy was the great interest shown by visitors and companies from Eastern Europe, who see Gerster Techtex as a competent supplier of high-quality fabric solutions. These contacts form a valuable basis for future projects and partnerships.

Another focus was on the B2B meetings organized in advance, which proved to be very productive. Intensive discussions strengthened existing relationships and identified new business opportunities. The positive response shows that our developments in the field of technical fabrics are providing important impetus for various industries.

At the end of the trade fair, an interesting factory tour provided additional insights into innovative manufacturing processes and possible applications for composite materials. This program item rounded off the event and underlined the high value placed on knowledge exchange within the industry.

Participating in JEC Central Europe in Krakow made it clear to us how important personal dialogue and the targeted presentation of our expertise are. We can look back on a successful trade fair and look forward to further expanding the contacts we have made and jointly implementing new projects in the field of technical textiles.
