What Novibra Boskovice s.r.o. does

Novibra Boskovice s.r.o. is a Czech-based manufacturer of high-speed spindles and complementary components for the textile ring spinning industry, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Swiss-listed Rieter Group since 2001. The company designs and produces precision spindles (including the NASA HPS 68, capable of up to 30,000 rpm, and the LENA energy-saving spindle), clamping and catching crowns (CROCOdoff and EASYdoff), spindle brakes, and the LUBRICO-E maintenance device. Its competitive position rests on a proprietary two-level hydrodynamic bearing system and patented spindle insert design, with technology heritage dating to the first Novibra patent granted in 1935 and over 100 years of continuous spindle specialization.

The company serves two primary customer segments: ring spinning machine OEMs (who specify Novibra spindles at the machine design level) and end-user textile mills (who purchase replacement spindles and components). Sales are conducted through a global network of direct field sales, regional agents (e.g., ART-TEXTILE LLC in Uzbekistan), sales and service centers, and active participation in major international textile exhibitions (ITM, ITMA ASIA + CITME, India ITME, CAITME, FEBRATEX). Revenue is generated predominantly through hardware sales of spindles and complementary components, supplemented by after-sales technical services including installation guidance, maintenance support, and customer training.

Novibra claims the position of world's leading supplier of high-speed spindles, with millions of units in operation worldwide and CROCOdoff cumulative sales exceeding 13 million units. The Boskovice production facility has tripled in physical size since the Czech entity was established in 1993. Named enterprise customers include Kohinoor Textile Mills (Pakistan), Thai Rung Textile (Thailand), Prilla 2000 (South Africa), Divyalakshmi Textiles (India), Taekwang Industrial (South Korea), Arık Bey (Turkey), and Jingwei Textile Machinery (China). The company is led by Managing Director Jan Hans, appointed January 6, 2026, with functional leads in production, marketing/sales, HR, and finance.

Broad incumbents

• Rieter Holding AG: Parent company and the world's leading systems supplier for short-staple fiber spinning. Rieter offers complete ring spinning systems (machines, automation, service) in which Novibra spindles are specified as components — a broader incumbent that bundles Novibra's components into its own system offerings.
• Saurer Group: Swiss-based textile machinery group with a broad portfolio including ring spinning, twisting, embroidery, and staple fiber processing machinery. Saurer is a competing broad incumbent with overlapping OEM and mill relationships across multiple spinning technologies.
• Murata Machinery, Ltd. Japanese textile machinery manufacturer known for vortex spinning (Murata Vortex Spinner) and other automation-driven spinning technologies. Murata is a competing broad incumbent with exposure to alternative spinning technologies that may displace ring spindles.
• Trützschler Group: German textile machinery manufacturer specializing in spinning preparation (blowroom, carding, draw frames). Trützschler is an upstream supplier in the textile machinery chain and a key global player in cotton processing equipment, with overlapping mill relationships.
• Toyota Industries Corporation: Japanese manufacturer of ring spinning machines (RX240, RX300 series) and a major OEM customer of Novibra. Toyota's machine platforms specify Novibra spindles (e.g., Thai Rung's deployment) and represent one of the largest captive channels for high-speed spindle demand.
• Marzoli S.r.l. Italian textile machinery manufacturer producing ring spinning frames, roving frames, and blowroom equipment. Marzoli is a competing broad incumbent in the short-staple spinning machinery market, with overlapping customer base of integrated textile mills.

Direct peers

• Accotex: Sister company within Rieter's Components division producing cots, aprons, and pressure bars for spinning and drafting systems. Accotex components sit directly adjacent to Novibra spindles in the drafting zone, sharing the same OEM specifications and end-customer base.
• Spindelfabrik Süssen GmbH: Sister company within Rieter's Components division and the most direct competitor to Novibra. Suessen manufactures high-speed spindles (HP-S series) and drafting systems for ring spinning machines — overlapping product portfolio, identical customer base (OEMs and mills), and shared distribution infrastructure.
• Graf + Cie AG: Sister company within Rieter's Components division producing card clothing, metallic wires, and flexible flat strips for carding and spinning preparation. Graf serves overlapping textile mill customers in the same cotton processing chain that feeds into Novibra's spindles.
