Germany-based Oerlikon Neumag, a division of Oerlikon Textile GmbH & Co. KG’s Manmade Fibers
business unit, reports that the first S+ three-end bulk continuous filament (BCF) yarn system
delivered to China is set to start up this spring at vertically integrated carpet manufacturer

offered by the company’s S5 and Sytec One systems, has been available for processing polyester yarn
