Zangs Krefeld Silk Silkware

Zangs Krefeld is a historic name associated with the German textile industry, specifically the silk weaving heritage of Krefeld, known historically as the 'City of Velvet and Silk.' The name honors Carl Zangs, whose company, Maschinenfabrik Carl Zangs, was a world-famous producer of Jacquard weaving machines and embroidery equipment founded in the 19th century.

While the original machinery manufacturing company ceased independent operations in the late 20th century, the legacy of 'Zangs' remains a symbol of German textile engineering excellence. Modern products bearing the Zangs Krefeld name are typically high-end silk goods, such as ties and scarves, produced in the Lower Rhine region of Germany to uphold the traditional craftsmanship for which the city is famous.
