Today, the main members of the Santex Group are Santex AG in Tobel, Switzerland, and SperottoRimar SpA in Malo, Italy, Santex AG is only around 20 years old and started as a small workshop operation in Tobel. From the very beginning, machines for powder scattering and coating have been part of its portfolio. However, the company soon widened its activities to include dryers for knitted goods and, later, wet finishing of the same. The experience in drying and oven technology facilitated Santex's entry into applications for nonwovens, namely thermobonding, coating, drying and heat setting. Some eight years ago, the well-known Swiss companies Caratsch and Villars, both in the technical textile machinery sector, were acquired and combined with the corresponding Santex activities under the name Cavitec AG.
