Danar Mas adopts Stäubli’s TIEPRO technology to simplify warp preparation and boost productivity

With over six decades of weaving and spinning expertise, Danar Mas is an Indonesian company specializing in greige fabrics for fashion and technical applications. The company aims to deliver high-quality products at affordable prices while consistently upholding the highest standards across its operations. Each year, Danar Mas produces approximately 20 million meters of fabric.

The challenge: staying competitive in an uncertain weaving market

Handling frequent warp changes across varied yarn types and designs requires precision and speed. Training new operators quickly, without compromising quality, is another daily reality. In an uncertain weaving market shaped by economic pressure such as rising energy costs, inflation, and tariffs, Danar Mas needed a tying solution that simplifies the task, reduces downtime and maintenance, and keeps total cost of ownership low.

The TIEPRO knotting machine solution

Danar Mas chose Stäubli’s TIEPRO knotting machine as a high‑performance upgrade to conventional knotting machines, attracted by its low maintenance requirements and low operating costs, user‑friendly design, and high productivity - all crucial for a large mill operating 180 weaving machines and rotating 500 warp beams each month.

The Indonesian company turned to Stäubli for solutions delivering high levels of performance, reliability, and efficiency.
In addition, Stäubli’s responsive technical support, dedicated customer service, and cost‑effective spare parts have helped keep operating costs exceptionally low.

Customer benefits

  • Simplified warp preparation for diverse yarn types for higher productivity
  • Smart detection features for consistent, high-quality tying results: less maintenance and more uptime
  • User-friendly design that accelerates training and minimizes downtime

Beyond the knotting machine

Stäubli teams supported the installation with technical assistance, service responsiveness, and cost‑efficient spare parts—helping Danar Mas get the very best out of their investment.

“At Danar Mas, we are always exploring cutting-edge technology to boost productivity and quality. That is why we were excited to be the first in Indonesia to install the TIEPRO. With this solution, Stäubli has shown a clear understanding of what mills like ours truly need and we are eager to see what comes next.”

Looking ahead

Danar Mas continues to explore cutting‑edge technologies to boost productivity, efficiency, and quality. With the TIEPRO knotting machine in place and strong support from Stäubli, the mill is poised to keep streamlining preparation, controlling costs, and training operators faster, building resilience in a dynamic market.
