Starker Start in ein neues Modejahrzehnt: Die Fashion Branche durchlebt einen massiven Wandel, doch der Orderstandort Düsseldorf bleibt stabil und planungssicher. Fashion auf allen Ebenen ist das Rezept der nordrhein-westfälischen Landeshauptstadt. Zu den stark frequentierten Ordertagen punktet Düsseldorf mit einer einzigartigen Vielfalt an Marken auf diversen Messen und in 670 Showrooms – effektiv vernetzt durch die Services des Fashion Nets. Die sechste Verleihung des Modebusiness Awards, das Fashion Net & Friends Come Together sowie weitere Networking-Formate rund um die Ordertage bringen dieses Jahr das Who-is-Who der Branche zusammen und komplettieren die Fashion Experience in der Rheinmetropole.

Fashion in jeder Facette
Mode macht nicht nur rund acht Prozent der lokalen Wirtschaftsleistung aus, sondern ist auch Teil der kulturellen DNA Düsseldorfs: Die Pierre Cardin Fashion Futurist Ausstellung im Kunstpalast sowie die erste noch von Peter Lindberg selbst kuratierte Werkschau ab Februar diesen Jahres beweisen, dass Düsseldorf Kunst und Mode verknüpfen und damit internationale Relevanz erzeugen kann. Highlight der kommenden Ausgabe der CPD: die sechste Verleihung des Modebusiness Award. Die vom Fashion Net initiierte und von der Stadt getragene Veranstaltung unterstreicht nicht nur Mode als Teil eines erfolgreichen Wirtschaftsstandortes, sondern zeigt auch die internationale Strahlkraft der Rheinmetropole und seiner Protagonisten.

Modestandort Düsseldorf und Wirtschaftsförderung weiterhin ein Top-Team: Theresa Winkels übernimmt
Eine weitere Konstante im Düsseldorfer Modebusiness: Die Unterstützung durch die Wirtschaftsförderung der Landeshauptstadt. Seit mehr als zehn Jahren arbeiten die Stadt und das Fashion Net Düsseldorf gemeinsam an der strategischen Positionierung und Weiterentwicklung des Modestandortes. Die neue Amtsleiterin der Wirtschaftsförderung Theresa Winkels widmet sich ebenfalls mit viel Engagement dem Thema Mode in der Landeshauptstadt. „Mode ist ganzjährig eines der bedeutendsten städtischen Themen und ein zentraler, lokaler Wirtschaftsfaktor. Die Modeindustrie hat aktuell mit massiven Umstrukturierungen und Umsatzeinbußen zu kämpfen, dennoch bleibt das Ordergeschäft am Standort Düsseldorf stabil und ist eine verlässliche Konstante für internationale Einkäufer. Gemeinsam mit dem Fashion Net Düsseldorf entwickeln wir kontinuierlich gezielte Maßnahmen, um die Businessmetropole weiterhin attraktiv für ein internationales Branchenpublikum zu gestalten“, so Theresa Winkels, Amtsleiterin der Wirtschaftsförderung Düsseldorf.

Monforts: Half a century of excellence

The origins of both Industry 4.0 and an awareness of the need for more sustainable manufacturing methods can arguably be traced back to the year 1971.

It was in 1971 that the first microprocessor was introduced by Intel, and also that the first and perhaps now most well-known environmental campaigner, Greenpeace, was founded.

As such, a direct line can be charted from that year to today’s automated textile manufacturing machinery concepts, as well as the drive to develop more increasingly resource-efficient processes.

All of the recent innovations which have been introduced to the market by A. Monforts Textilmaschinen GmbH & Co. KG, for example, are being powered by the possibilities of Industry 4.0 and developed in response to the market demand for more sustainable production.

The origins of both Industry 4.0 and an awareness of the need for more sustainable manufacturing methods can arguably be traced back to the year 1971.

It was in 1971 that the first microprocessor was introduced by Intel, and also that the first and perhaps now most well-known environmental campaigner, Greenpeace, was founded.

As such, a direct line can be charted from that year to today’s automated textile manufacturing machinery concepts, as well as the drive to develop more increasingly resource-efficient processes.

All of the recent innovations which have been introduced to the market by A. Monforts Textilmaschinen GmbH & Co. KG, for example, are being powered by the possibilities of Industry 4.0 and developed in response to the market demand for more sustainable production.

They include the new ‘digital twinning’ capability introduced in 2019 for all Monforts machines, with advanced sensor technologies which make it possible to access comprehensive technical machine data from any location using the company’s Smart Support and Smart Check apps. In addition, the digital twin system provides information on individual wear parts, such as, for example, converters or gears.

These latest developments have been very favourably received by Monforts customers, especially in Europe.

50th anniversary
The very first Heimtextil – the leading trade fair for the home textiles market – was also held in Frankfurt in January 1971 and Monforts customers Bierbaum Group and Konrad Hornschuch AG are amongst the German companies who were there from the very start and have attended every annual show since.

Bierbaum Group, based in Borken, is the company behind the well-known Irisette bedding brand and is celebrating its own 125th anniversary in 2020. It has also introduced products bearing the German government’s new Grüner Knopf textile seal of approval for sustainable production.

As a specialist in synthetic leathers for home surfaces, as well as vehicle interiors, Konrad Hornschuch AG, of Weissbach, has been a member of the €44 billion automotive giant Continental AG since 2016.

Representatives from both companies received memorial trophies at a special presentation held on January 7th during the 50th anniversary Heimtextil show.

The home textiles market remains very strong in Germany, with sales amounting to some €9.6 billion in 2019, according to analyst IFH Cologne.

Global growth
The first Heimtextil in 1971 was a significant success, attracting 679 exhibitors from 26 countries.

This year’s show, however, attracted a total of 2,952 exhibitors from 66 countries, reflecting not only the growth of the home textiles industry, but also the globalisation which has taken place over the last half century.

Monforts now has customers for its advanced finishing technologies around the world, with home textile customers from India and Pakistan being particularly well represented at Heimtextil 2020.

Among stand outs from Indian companies at this year’s show was the 2020 collection of Welspun India’s famous Christy England brand, inspired by botanical studies of the gardens of British stately homes. Welspun towels meanwhile benefit from the company’s HygroCotton hollow core yarn technology, produced by a proprietary spinning method which ensures they become softer, fluffier and more absorbent after every wash.

An equally ground-breaking new technology is being introduced by Trident Group, which is one of India’s largest vertically-integrated home textiles manufacturers and two years ago installed five complete Monforts finishing ranges for its new linen department.

Trident’s patented Air Rich yarns feature pores throughout their cross sections for high breathability and absorbency, as well as rapid drying.

Monforts home textile customers from Pakistan stressed the resource efficiency of their processes and products as a result of investments in advanced technology, and during the show the ‘Sustainable Pakistan’ initiative was announced.

Supported by GIZ, the German Society for International Cooperation, the initiative aims to reshape global perceptions of Pakistan’s manufacturers and their innovations. So far, twenty producers have been carefully chosen to be presented on this global platform and will help rebrand Pakistan’s textile industry at the Heimtextil exhibitions going forward.

Heimtextil’s organiser Messe Frankfurt also announced its own new alliance with the United Nations Office for Partnerships, in order to support the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.

Constancy
Many things have changed since 1971 and home interiors are certainly no longer predominantly orange and brown – and perhaps unlikely to ever become so again.

It’s clear, however, that there has been a constancy in the push to consistently improve textile technologies, processes and products that may have originated in Europe, but have subsequently spread around the world.

And the significance of both microprocessors and sustainability in 2020 could only have been guessed at back in 1971.

Wood-Based Alternative: Feminine Hygiene Fibres from Kelheim

Kelheim’s premium tampon fibre Galaxy® has proven effective in sanitary pads: It can substitute up to 70% of the synthetics in ADL (Acquisition-Distribution-Layers) in feminine hygiene pads. The amount of feminine hygiene waste is enormous – and often the time it takes for these products to degrade is hundreds of years longer than the lifespan of the woman who used it, because the synthetic components are not bio-degradable. Changing consumer behavior drives the need for environmentally friendly yet safe alternatives.

The viscose hygiene fibres from Kelheim offer significant ecologic advantages: they are made from cellulose, which means they are based on renewable wood and they are fully biodegradable. These fibres are manufactured exclusively in Germany, in one of the most environmentally friendly plants worldwide.

These fibres are manufactured exclusively in Germany, in one of the most environmentally friendly plants worldwide.

Galaxy® in sanitary pads offers not only a benefit for the environment. Due to its excellent wicking and absorption capacity it conducts liquids quickly and efficiently away from the body and leaves a pleasant feeling on the skin – in other words, it does exactly what the ADL layer is made for. In addition, Galaxy® helps to distribute the liquid evenly in the absorbent core enhancing so the overall performance of the pad.

“Plastic must disappear from these single-use products. The substitution of single synthetic components in sanitary pads is the first step”, says Dominik Mayer from the Bavarian fibre expert’s R&D team. “Down the road we want to offer a completely bio-based solution for sanitary pads and for various other hygiene applications.

SGL Carbon: Ultra-light landing gear made of carbon fiber composites for air taxis

  • Series order for a total of 500 units
  • First SGL Carbon component project for manned autonomous aviation

SGL Carbon will begin serial production of landing gear made from braided carbon fiber material early this year. The landing skids will be installed in around 500 air taxis worldwide over the next two years.

The air taxis will be powered by several electric motors. To optimize the range of the taxis, every single gram counts. Measuring about two meters in length and 1.5 meters in width, the ultra-light landing skid will weigh less than three kilograms, making it about 15 percent lighter than a similar component made from aluminum. This increases the potential flight time capacity of the air taxi which is a key differentiator for the air taxi operator.

Inspiration für das Dessin ist das Wirken der international bekannten Bauhaus-Künstlerin Anni Albers. Zu Beginn ihrer Ausbildung am Weimarer Bauhaus wollte die junge Frau Malerin werden. Das „große Durcheinander“ und „Suchen von allen Seiten“ im frühen Bauhaus, wie sie es nannte, erschwerte es ihr jedoch, sich kreativ zu entfalten. Im festen Rahmen des Webstuhls fand sie schließlich ihre künstlerische Freiheit. In der Weberei entwickelte sich auch ihre Formensprache, die durch abstrakt-symmetrische Motive und auf die Grundformen reduzierte Muster geprägt ist. Die neue Serie drapilux 809 ist eine von vier drapilux-Neuheiten, die den Textilkünstlerinnen des Bauhauses gewidmet sind.

Neonyt: Fashionsustain schafft intensiven Austausch für mehr Nachhaltigkeit

Auf der Neonyt-Konferenz Fashionsustain diskutierten in vom 14. bis 16. Januar Vertreter der Modeindustrie sowie aus Politik und Nichtregierungsorganisationen gemeinsame Ansätze für mehr Nachhaltigkeit in der Modebranche. Auf der kommenden ISPO Munich geht die Fashionsustain bereits in die nächste Runde.

Drei Tage lang versammelte das internationale Konferenzformat der Neonyt, die Fashionsustain, vom 14. bis 16. Januar hochkarätige Redner im Forum und auf der Bühne am ehemaligen Flughafen Tempelhof in Berlin. Unter dem Leitthema „Luft“ boten rund 50 Impulsvorträge, Paneldiskussionen und Masterclasses auf der Fashionsustain-Bühne und im Forum einen Querschnitt der konsequent nach vorne blickenden Fashionplayer.

Unter dem Leitthema „Luft“ boten rund 50 Impulsvorträge, Paneldiskussionen und Masterclasses auf der Fashionsustain-Bühne und im Forum einen Querschnitt der konsequent nach vorne blickenden Fashionplayer.

Fazit aus drei intensiven Tagen des Austauschs war unter anderem, dass ein Wandel in der Modeindustrie nur durch Kollaboration der verschiedenen Unternehmen erreicht werden kann. „Als  Unternehmen, die die UN-Charta für Klimaschutz in der Modeindustrie unterzeichnet haben, haben wir so viele Möglichkeiten, gemeinsam etwas zu bewegen. Als Gruppe erreichen wir die Klimaziele effektiver als wenn wir als Brands oder Organisationen alle einzeln an Maßnahmen arbeiten“, so Zachary Angelini, Environmental Stewardship Manager bei Timberland auf dem Panel „SDGs X Fashion – The UN’s Fashion Industry Charter for Climate Action“ mit Kaira Shetty (United Nations Office for Partnerships), Alexander Gege (Otto Group) und Harold Weghorst (Lenzing AG).

Während die nächste Ausgabe der Neonyt vom 30. Juni bis 2. Juli 2020 in Berlin stattfindet, geht die Fashionsustain Konferenz bereits Ende Januar während der ISPO in München weiter. Am Sonntag, den 26. Januar werden ausgewählte Themen im Kontext des CSR Hubs in einem dreistündigen Slot vertieft. Diese Panels bilden eine erstmalige Kooperation zwischen den in ihren Bereichen führenden Fachmessen. Themenfokussiert vereinen ISPO und Neonyt ihre Durchsetzungskraft, um das wichtige Thema Nachhaltigkeit weiter in ihre Branchen zu pushen.

Domotex 2020: Manmade Fibers shows BCF S8 with new CPC-T

Market leader Oerlikon Neumag has its finger firmly on the pulse of their customers with the new Color Pop Compacting unit (CPC-T) for the BCF S8 carpet yarn plant, which is now available for the Polyamide 6 process. The new solution, which was on show from 10-13 January 2020 at the Domotex 2020 in Hannover, attracted great interest from many trade visitors.

Following the trend for multicolored carpets, BCF S8 sets new standards in regards to color separation. The plant, launched as a tricolor solution at last year’s ITMA in Barcelona, makes anything possible – from mélange to strongly separated. It promises carpet yarn producers even more flexible color mixing variants for product differentiation. The core component in this process, the Color Pop Compacting unit (CPC-T), offers more than 200,000 different color shades from three colors. The innovation, which has been filed for patent, is available for polypropylene and polyester polymers as well as for the polyamide 6 process.

Polyester, recycling polyester and fine titers are on trend
During numerous conversations with customers, Martin Rademacher, Head of Sales Oerlikon Neumag, observed a noticeable trend for polyester in the carpet industry even outside the USA. Sustainable solutions are equally sought after: “Our customers increasingly demand plants that can process recycled polyester,” explains Martin Rademacher.

The Manmade Fibers segment presented an additional solution by Oerlikon Barmag for polyester applications that need fine single filament titers from 0.5 dpf and high filament counts: Puffy, soft polyester filament yarns with BCF-similiar properties are produced on the basis of a POY and texturing process. Core components of the processes are the POY take-up unit WINGS HD as well as the new texturing machine eAFK Big-V.

NCTO Welcomes Senate Passage of USMCA

The National Council of Textile Organizations (NCTO) lauded Senate passage today of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).

“We are pleased the Senate voted swiftly to approve USMCA--a trade deal that we expect to significantly bolster textile exports to Mexico and the Western Hemisphere,” said NCTO President and CEO Kim Glas.

Mexico and Canada are the two largest export markets for the U.S. textile and apparel industry, totaling nearly $11.5 billion for the year ending Nov. 30, 2019, according to government data.

“USMCA is a win for the textile industry,” Glas said. “The improvements it makes to the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) will only serve to generate more business for domestic producers and create more jobs and investment in the U.S.”
NCTO worked with the administration during negotiations on USMCA and secured several provisions in the trade deal including stronger rules of origin for certain textile inputs and increased U.S. customs enforcement.

NCTO worked with the administration during negotiations on USMCA and secured several provisions in the trade deal including stronger rules of origin for certain textile inputs and increased U.S. customs enforcement.

U.S. textile executives are ramping up to take advantage of the modifications in USMCA and some plan to build new business or expand existing business in areas such as pocketing, sewing thread and narrow elastics.

“Our member companies, making some of the most advanced textiles in the world, have long supported USMCA and are eagerly awaiting implementation of the trade deal,” Glas added. “We urge quick implementation of USMCA and thank the administration and Congress for their hard work to get the deal across the finish line.”

The USMCA updates and modifies the NAFTA and makes significant improvements, including:

  • Creation of a separate chapter for textiles and apparel rules of origin with strong customs enforcement language.
  • Stronger rules of origin for sewing thread, pocketing, narrow elastics and certain coated fabrics.  Under the current NAFTA, these items can be sourced from outside the region – USMCA modernizes this loophole and ensures these secondary components are originating to the region.
  • Fixes the Kissell Amendment Buy American loophole, ensuring that a significant amount the Department of Homeland Security spends annually on clothing and textiles for the Transportation Security Administration is spent on domestically produced products.

Telekom, AlphaTauri and Schoeller are launching the Heatable Capsule Collection

How many jackets do you need to get through all the shifts in temperature during fall and winter? The moment may have arrived where just one jacket will do. And how cool would it be if everyone could optimise the warmth of their jacket individually and adapt it to their personal feel-good factor? And all in a product without compromises, where sophisticated design and intelligent fabrics join forces with technological competence? For this ambitious aim, these three leading companies put their heads and their core competencies together.

And all in a product without compromises, where sophisticated design and intelligent fabrics join forces with technological competence? For this ambitious aim, these three leading companies put their heads and their core competencies together.

The Heatable Capsule Collection is on its way
Today, Telekom, AlphaTauri and Schoeller are launching a technological innovation together: the Heatable Capsule Collection. While Telekom is bringing its technological components to the table, AlphaTauri designed the collection and Schoeller developed the heating technologies and fabrics as well as the electronic components. The Heatable Capsule Collection kicks off with a jacket and a gilet in two different colourways. Wearers decide the level of warmth for themselves in the jacket or gilet. The clothing items are operated by app. Individual zones around the pocket and kidney areas can be heated.

The collection, for men and women, targets the lifestyle and technology-oriented consumer segment, the so-called “urban explorer”. The apparel is cross-seasonal, suitable for all cooler types of weather, and practical when travelling, hiking or for other sports. The partially heatable gilet can be worn alone or under a jacket.

The ideal feel-good temperature can be selected from two heating levels in the jacket and gilet. Thanks to Schoeller® E-Soft-Shell heating technology the heat function is completely integrated into the fabric and localised as close as possible to the wearer’s body. Beyond that, the inbuilt sensors can measure the microclimate temperature inside the jacket.

The jacket is already being further developed with additional features, where connectivity and AI will become increasingly relevant.

The next generation of PREPAC Advanced consumables features unique and regionalized solvent formulas, as well as a new sophisticated cloth material. Compared to other products on the market, Baldwin’s solutions decrease waste up to 50 percent and can cut cleaning cycles in half, enabling up to 100 extra production hours annually.

“Since its introduction in 1995, PREPAC has remained the top choice for pre-impregnated wet cloth rolls. If it’s not Baldwin, it’s not PREPAC,” explained Tomas Anderbjer, President, Precision Applications, at Baldwin. “With the new PREPAC Advanced consumables, Baldwin once again innovates blanket and impression cylinder cleaning for the print industry, providing technologies that optimize productivity and decrease the impact on the environment.”

NCTO Statement on Signing of Phase One Deal on 301 Tariffs

The National Council of Textile Organizations (NCTO) released the following statement on the Phase One Deal on 301 tariffs signed today by the U.S. and China.

“While we are still studying the details of the deal signed today, we applaud the administration for finally pressing China for a more rational and equal trade relationship,” said NCTO President and CEO Kim Glas. “Our industry has been severely damaged by China’s predatory practices over the past 30 years and we are anxious to see a new era of sound trade principles and balanced trade.

At the same time, we question the last-in, first-out approach to the tariff reductions.  In our sector, this means that the penalty 301 tariffs on finished apparel and sewn products--the areas where tariffs have the most potential to effect reforms in China while bolstering the Western Hemisphere supply chain-- are cut in half while U.S. manufacturers continue to face full tariffs on certain inputs and equipment not available domestically.”

SGL Carbon: New production hall at the Bonn site

  • Increasing demand for graphite-based automotive solutions
  • Strengthening SGL Carbon’s site in Bonn

Over the past three years, SGL Carbon has invested a total of around 25 million euros in the modernization and expansion of its production capacities for specialty graphite automotive components at the Bonn site. The expansion project was completed at the end of last year and was inaugurated today at the site in an official ceremony. Besides the installation of partly new production facilities and a modernized production set-up, construction of a new, 2,000 m2 large hall for the production of the parts was implemented in the course of the expansion.

  • Increasing demand for graphite-based automotive solutions
  • Strengthening SGL Carbon’s site in Bonn

Over the past three years, SGL Carbon has invested a total of around 25 million euros in the modernization and expansion of its production capacities for specialty graphite automotive components at the Bonn site. The expansion project was completed at the end of last year and was inaugurated today at the site in an official ceremony. Besides the installation of partly new production facilities and a modernized production set-up, construction of a new, 2,000 m2 large hall for the production of the parts was implemented in the course of the expansion.

The background of the expansion is the continuously increasing demand for advanced solutions and products made from graphite in the automotive sector. Due to its durability, high strength, low friction behavior, and high conductivity, the material is suitable for many different automotive applications. Examples include rotors and vanes in vacuum pumps for brake boosters, bearings for exhaust gas management, and sealing rings and bearings for seals in coolant pumps. These solutions include applications for vehicles with conventional combustion engines as well as for e-mobility, thereby making an important contribution to clean driving, higher energy efficiency, and lower emissions.

“Automotive components made from specialty graphite are increasingly becoming the standard in many different applications in the automotive industry. Due to their special properties, they are more and more frequently replacing the materials previously used in pumps and seals, such as plastic and metal. By investing in the modernization and expansion of production in Bonn, we are consolidating our leading position in this market and offering our customers real added value in the close partnership with each other. Through the expansion, we are also strengthening our site in Bonn,” explains Burkhard Straube, President of the business unit Graphite Materials & Systems.

Heimtextil 2020: Schlussbericht

Die 50. Ausgabe der Heimtextil lieferte mit einem contentgetriebenen Programm starke Impulse für den Start der neuen Einrichtungssaison. Nachhaltigkeit avancierte dabei zum alles überstrahlenden Top-Thema. 63.000 Besucher informierten sich bei den 2.952 Austellern auf der weltweit führenden Fachmesse für Wohn- und Objekttextilien über die großen Themen der internationalen Branche. Wie erwartet sorgte insbesondere der einmalig frühe Termin für eine Delle bei den Besucherzahlen.

Die 50. Ausgabe der Heimtextil lieferte mit einem contentgetriebenen Programm starke Impulse für den Start der neuen Einrichtungssaison. Nachhaltigkeit avancierte dabei zum alles überstrahlenden Top-Thema. 63.000 Besucher informierten sich bei den 2.952 Austellern auf der weltweit führenden Fachmesse für Wohn- und Objekttextilien über die großen Themen der internationalen Branche. Wie erwartet sorgte insbesondere der einmalig frühe Termin für eine Delle bei den Besucherzahlen.

„Die Branche steht momentan vor immensen Herausforderungen. Das bekamen einige Beteiligte auf der Heimtextil zu spüren. Dennoch: Die Ausstellerzufriedenheit ist auf dem gleichen, guten Niveau wie im Vorjahr. Und die Zufriedenheit der Besucher ist sogar gestiegen – von 93 auf 95 Prozent. Neben des frühen Termins liegen die Gründe für den Dämpfer bei den Besucherzahlen vor allem bei der starken Konsolidierung der Fachgeschäfte beziehungsweise bei der Entwicklung vom stationären Handel in Richtung E-Commerce. Auch konjunkturell ist der Trend abgeschwächt“, erklärt Detlef Braun, Geschäftsführer der Messe Frankfurt. „Dazu passt, dass ganze 34 Prozent unserer Aussteller die aktuelle Branchenkonjunktur als schlecht bewerten, im Vergleich zu gerade mal 18 Prozent im Jahr zuvor.“
