LANTEX phenolic spin bobbins continue to be the first choice of NYLON, POLYESTER and POLYPROPYLENE fibre producers in more than 40 countries. Use of the highest quality raw materials ensures that LANTEX has excellent mechanical strength and machining to the closest possible tolerances and a 100% concentricity check ensures that LANTEX performs smoothly and safely at the very highest take-up speeds. We have no standard product. We build LANTEX bobbins to your individual specification and we are only too happy to provide, free of charge, samples exactly to your choice.
