SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Tandematic Systems, LLC, a sister company to Consultex Systems, Inc., has purchased Tandematic, Inc.’s operations.

 

As part of the purchase, Tandematic, Inc.’s founder, William “Bill” Young, will lend his 40+ years of textile machinery engineering experience to Tandematic Systems in an effort to smoothly transition ownership and production. In addition to Young’s assistance, Tandematic Systems will also be gaining the experience and knowhow of longtime Tandematic employees Mark Cox, Keith McCollum and others.

 

Young’s work experience began with DuPont Co., but after 14 years he left to start a small engineering firm, then known as Young Engineering, here. Ten years later, Young Engineering adopted the name Tandematic, and so began the development and manufacture of new web processing machines, machines that would eventually be accepted in the industry as state-of the-art and the template for other manufacturers who have unsuccessfully tried to imitate for years, according to the company.

 

Young’s innovative product line will continue under the leadership of Arne Niemann, himself a “product” of the textile industry. Niemann’s father, Frederic Niemann, came to the U.S. from Germany as a textile engineer. The senior Niemann and Young found themselves both in the textile machinery business less than a mile apart in what was then a booming textile town, and both of their successes were due in large part to progressive thinking and an attitude that problems in textile manufacturing were opportunities for them as machinery manufacturers, they said.

 

Niemann purchased his deceased father’s company in 2005, and today the name Consultex is known as a world leader in roll goods coating equipment through building machines with an attention to quality that is unparalleled in the market, the company said.

 

Just as the next generation Consultex has continued its founder’s legacy and tradition of quality and integrity, Tandematic Systems will continue to be at the forefront of textile machinery innovation, the company added. So when you see “Tandematic” stamped in steel, you will know that Young’s commitment to innovation and quality is carried on with pride, excitement and humility by Arne Niemann and Tandematic Systems’ personnel, the company said.
