From Instruments to Intelligent End-to-End Solutions Uster, Switzerland, 2nd September 2025 – Uster Technologies is commemorating 150 years of excellence, marking its journey of consistent evolution in line with customer needs and industry shifts. From its beginnings as a manufacturer of quality testing instruments, Uster has transformed into a global leader providing strategic, end-to-end solutions that optimize textile production. Positioned as a “family doctor” for spinning mills, Uster now goes beyond offering data and devices, providing strategic guidance to help mills achieve higher performance and profitability. With its vision, “Think Quality – Next Level,” Uster aims to empower mills to move from reactive quality control to proactive quality assurance, ensuring smarter decision-making and long-term business sustainability. This transformation reflects Uster’s ongoing commitment to shaping a more efficient and sustainable textile industry. The company has shifted its core expertise from telegraphy equipment manufacturing to advanced quality management solutions that address the entire production chain. The Family Doctor Approach
A customer once compared Uster Technologies to a family doctor – a metaphor that captures its evolving role. Uster no longer limits itself to providing instruments like yarn clearers and evenness testers, which merely measure and control quality. Instead, Uster seeks to understand the complete context of each mill’s operations and goals, actively helping them improve. Like a trusted doctor, Uster aims to provide continuous insights, guidance, and long-term solutions. Strategic Partnership and Next-Level Solutions
Through its “solution stack” and Uster 360Q platform, the company offers cloud-connected instruments, AI-driven analytics, and expert advisory services to give mills a comprehensive production overview. This integrated system enables decision-making, automation, and optimization – unlocking efficiency, profitability, and a competitive edge. Uster is still early in this transformation but remains committed to innovation. Its Uster FiberQ raw material management solution has already delivered results, and another solution will debut at ITMA Asia + CITME 2025. Looking ahead, Uster envisions a future where data from bale laydown can be linked to final fabric quality, enabling predictive optimization across mills worldwide. Pioneering Sustainability and the Future
As textile recycling moves from a 1% niche to a major part of production, Uster is pioneering new quality management methods to support this transition. The company is developing technologies that align with global sustainability trends, reinforcing its mission to empower the industry to create a better future. With 150 years of history behind it, Uster remains focused on its purpose: “We empower people to create a better future for the textile industry through quality and innovative end-to-end solutions.” This vision will continue to guide Uster through the next 150 years, building resilience and inspiring optimism across the industry.
