German term or phrase: Vowerk
This is in a worsted spinning mill, I think this might be a kind of machine or process (preparatory stage?)
Im Vorwerk

Zunächst einmal werden Wollkammzüge, Synthetics und Spezialitäten (z.B. Seide) gemischt, um so die gewünschte prozentuale Material- und Farbzusammensetzung zu erhalten. Gleichzeitig erfolgt durch Verstrecken ein Ordnen und Parallelisieren der Fasern.

An der Kämmaschine werden kurze Fasern und Verunreinigungen durch verschiedene Metallkämme aus dem Material gekämmt. Dadurch werden die Kammzüge sauberer und gleichmäßiger.

Thanks to all of you. Although I agree with Kim's answer, there is no mention of warps throughout the text, so I think I am probably better sticking with this one as it is more general

Explanation:
The site where I found this is in German and English. The English translation of Vorwerk is warp preparation department.

Its warp preparation department produces high quality warps both for in-house weaving as well as commission beam warping, sectional beaming / section warping for sales to third party customers.
