Special sewing threads for textile snow chains and textile traction systems
Textile snow chains, also known as auto socks or snow socks, are a lightweight and user-friendly alternative to traditional snow chains. They are quick to install, protect rims from damage, and are particularly suitable for modern vehicles with limited wheel-arch clearance, including many electric vehicles.
AMANN's premium sewing threads deliver the seam strength, abrasion resistance, and processing reliability required for high-performance Auto Socks and other textile traction solutions.
