Personalwechsel bei der Heimtextil: Margit Herberth verantwortet ab 1. September 2023 das Segment der Haustextilien der Heimtextil und bildet gemeinsam mit Bettina Bär zukünftig die neue Doppelspitze der Leitmesse für Wohn- und Objekttextilien. Herberth, zuvor Marketingleitung Consumer Goods / Multimedia & Data bei der Messe Frankfurt, folgt auf Meike Kern, die nach 22 Jahren das Unternehmen aus eigenem Entschluss verlässt und eine neue berufliche Herausforderung annimmt.

Margit Herberth verantwortet künftig das Segment der Haustextilien und damit das Marken- und Private Label-Ausstellerangebot an Bettwaren, Bettwäsche, Badtextilien, Tisch- und Küchenwäsche, Matratzen, Schlafsystemen, Wohnaccessoires, Decken, Kissen sowie Maschinen für die Textilverarbeitung. Wichtige Aufgaben sind der weitere Ausbau der Content- und Rahmenprogramme im Bereich textiler Nachhaltigkeit sowie eine stärkere Internationalisierung der Heimtextil Conference Sleep & More.

Herberth verfügt über mehr als zehnjährige Vertriebsexpertise als Senior Sales Managerin für die internationalen Konsumgütermessen Beautyworld, Hair & Beauty und Christmasworld der Messe Frankfurt. Seit 2018 leitete sie als Director Marketing Communications sämtliche Marketingaktivitäten für die Marken Paperworld, Christmasworld sowie Creativeworld und verantwortete die Gestaltung der globalen Brand-Kampagnen im Konsumgüterbereich, beispielsweise für die Beautyworld.

Für zwei Absolventinnen des Master-Studiengangs Textile Produkte der Hochschule Niederrhein gab es gleich doppelten Grund zur Freude: Sie feierten zusammen mit ihren ehemaligen Kommiliton:innen des Fachbereichs Textil- und Bekleidungstechnik nicht nur ihren Abschluss, sondern erhielten auch eine ganz besondere Auszeichnung: Sie nahmen je 1500 Euro Preisgeld für ihre herausragenden Abschlussarbeiten entgegen.

Das Textile and Fashion Network (TFN, der Förderverein des Fachbereichs) unterstützt Franziska Guth, die anderen 1500 Euro stiftet der Verband der Rheinischen Textil- und Bekleidungsindustrie e.V. an Tabea Hofemeister.

Preisträgerin Franziska Guth hat ihre Arbeit zusammen mit der KARL MAYER GROUP erstellt. Darin befasste sie sich mit den strategischen Herausforderungen von Smarten Textilien. Franziska Guth hat einen kettengewirkten (Maschenware bestehend aus mehreren senkrecht laufenden Fäden) Smart Textile Demonstrator entwickelt. Konkret geht es um einen berührungslosen Bewegungssensor zur Gestenerkennung aus einem Abstandsgewirke mit leitfähigem Garn, der als Steuerungstool für unterschiedliche Anwendungen wie im Automobil-Interieur verwendet werden kann. Er wurde schon 2022 auf der Techtextil in Frankfurt präsentiert. Mit ihrem innovativen Ansatz und ihrem eigens konzipierten Sensor leistete sie einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Entwicklung von Smart Textiles auf Wirkmaschinen.
Guth arbeitet mittlerweile bei der KARL MAYER GROUP als textile Produktentwicklerin und feilt dort weiter an innovativen textilen Strukturen, die sich auf Wirkmaschinen herstellen lassen.

Das Ziel der Masterarbeit von Tabea Hofemeister war es, Methoden einzuführen, mit denen sich die Chemikaliendichtigkeit persönlicher Schutzausrüstung prüfen lässt. Diese fehlten bislang im Bestand der Öffentlichen Prüfstelle für das Textilwesen der Hochschule Niederrhein. Mithilfe des Abrinntests überprüfte sie, ob Flüssigkeit in das Material gelangt oder daran gehindert wird. Zum anderen untersuchte sie, wie beständig die Schutzkleidung gegen das Durchdringen von Chemikalien im Spraytest ist. Auf Basis technischer Anforderungen ermittelte sie verschiedene Optionen für eine Konstruktion der Prüfeinrichtungen und führte sie in das bestehende Qualitätsmanagementsystem ein.
Hofemeister ist derzeit Doktorandin in der Fahrzeugsicherheit bei Volkswagen in Wolfsburg.

Following a strong start at the Spring Edition of Intertextile Shanghai Home Textiles early this year, global industry players have turned their sights to the next international event in August. As the first Autumn Edition to be held in the wake of China lifting many of its pandemic-related border restrictions, the three-day fair will gather around 1,000 international and domestic exhibitors. Traders looking to meet market demand will be able to source from an extensive range of trending and specialised home and contract textile products from 16 – 18 August 2023.

According to a recent market report, the global home textile market is expected to show a CAGR of 5.6% from 2023 – 2028 to reach USD 174.1 billion by the end of the forecast period. Asia-Pacific has dominated the global market in recent years, with China one of its most significant contributors.^[1]

As a manufacturing hub for home textiles, China is gradually recovering from social and business disruptions caused by the pandemic. Speaking at the recent Spring Edition, Ms Rosemary Li, Domestic Sales Manager of Zhangjiagang Coolist Life Technology Co Ltd, a long-time exhibitor specialised in bio-based and functional bedding products, said: “Since China relaxed its pandemic-related control and prevention measures, after Chinese New Year we have been flooded with orders. With both domestic and export orders increasing, it has been almost impossible for the production line to fulfil the order demand.”

While the spring show’s promising visitor flow was a positive start to the Chinese home textile industry’s post-pandemic era, a higher participation of overseas exhibitors and buyers is expected at the upcoming Autumn Edition

The return of special zones and international pavilions
Later this year in Shanghai, exhibitors will showcase their most up-to-date home and contract textile products, ranging from bedding & towelling, rugs, table & kitchen linen, upholstery & curtain fabrics, editors, home textile technologies and textile design. With a wealth of choices for buyers, several show highlights are listed below:

• Editor & Designer Zone: located in hall 5.1, the zone will feature international, high-end editor and designer brands brought by leading exhibitors J&C, Julai, Qianbaihui, Prestigious, Shanghai Lotus, SohoCut, Yada, and more.
• Country and region pavilions: premium suppliers from Belgium, Türkiye and Taiwan (China) will exhibit quality products in their designated pavilions in hall 6.1.
• Textile Designs: textile design studios from Japan, Portugal and Taiwan (China), namely Amilia Design Studio, Fine Art Inc and Tela's Design Lda, will also showcase their seasonal designs in hall 6.1.

Adding to buyers’ sourcing options, a multitude of domestic players from different categories will also showcase their respective products. Highlighted exhibitors include top curtain and curtain fabric suppliers Fu-Tex, Hangzhou Aico, Hexin and Xiaoxuanchuang; bedding suppliers Coolist, Huizhou Wah Shing and Yantai North Home; as well as Hightex, Huatex, Maya and Suzhou Roufang from the upholstery and sofa fabric sector.

Fairgoers can also learn more about the upcoming global trends and designs by visiting the ‘2023 – 2024 Intertextile International Lifestyle Trend’ area. In aid of this, Intertextile Shanghai Home Textiles has joined forces with NellyRodi™, the renowned French forecasting agency, to present the design theme for 2023 – 2024: ‘ALIVE’. HUMAN CAPITAL, ROUSING COMMITMENT and UNREAL REALITIES are the theme’s three main trends.

Medical textiles are fabrics that are used in the healthcare industry for a variety of purposes ranging from maintenance of hygiene, prevention/control of infection to saving the life of critically ill patients. In recent years, the demand for medical textiles has been growing in India due to rise in geriatric population, accidents and life style diseases. Besides, various initiatives of Governments, increased awareness about hygiene, medical tourism and advancements in textile technology are driving the growth of medical textile industry in India. According to a report published by Ministry of Textiles on the Indian Technical Textiles market, the market potential of medical textiles market at 5% is valued approximately at USD 1.125 billion in the year 2021-22.
 
SITRA is a Textile Research Association, sponsored by the industry and supported by the Ministry of Textiles (MoT), with the contribution to the textile industry for more than 65 years. Its Centre of Excellence for Medical Textiles, established by MoT in 2008, has been organising MEDITEX - an International Medical Textile Expo cum Conference in 2014 and 2018 respectively. This exclusive fair for medical textiles has been offering a global platform for business opportunities in the varied application of medical textiles which has witnessed a good participation from the industry. For 2023, the expo will be held as a part of Messe Frankfurt India’s Techtextil India 2023.

Target topics based seminars, supported by Ministry of Textiles, Government of India would also be held concurrently along with the exhibition wherein the speakers would be discussing about current and evolving technologies in medical textiles. Stakeholders and visitors to the conference as well as the exhibition would get to witness and benefit from world class, state-of-the-art medical textiles products/machineries and technologies.

With four months until the technical textiles and nonwovens show opens its doors, floor space booked by international suppliers is already more than double the area of the previous edition, which attracted 366 exhibitors from eight countries and regions. Taking place from 19 – 21 September 2023 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre, this year’s fair will see the European Zone return to the fairground. The high-traffic zone is set to welcome a number of new and returning exhibitors eager to showcase their products to a business-hungry domestic market.

Speaking at the fair’s previous edition in 2021, Mr Roberto Galante, Plant Manager of FMMG Technical Textiles (Suzhou) Co Ltd, said: “The Chinese market is a big opportunity for everybody, because every day the market is demanding more. The potential here is incredible, and there is more demand for overseas brands. These brands are known for their very high quality, and while China’s industry has developed very well in the past few years, it still needs support from overseas brands with high quality products. This fair is good for us, and we exhibit here every year.”

Multiple domestic and international exhibitors have confirmed their participation at Cinte Techtextil China 2023, with the European Zone playing host to FMMG and other key industry players, such as:

• Bekaert, Belgium

Other European exhibitors in these categories include Autefa Solutions, Reifenhauser Heinsberg, Reifenhauser Reicofil, and SICAM.

• Shanghai Shenda Kebao New Materials
• SIJIA New Material (Shanghai)
• Zhejiang Jinda New Materials

The fair’s product categories cover 12 application areas, which comprehensively span a full range of potential uses in modern technical textiles and nonwovens. These categories also cover the entire industry, from upstream technology and raw materials providers to finished fabrics, chemicals and other solutions. This scope of product groups and application areas ensures that the fair is an effective business platform for the entire industry.

Intertextile Shanghai Home Textiles – Spring Edition is set for a renewal. After last year’s brief pause, 283 exhibitors from 5 countries and regions will showcase their latest innovations at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai) during this traditional peak sourcing period. The fair will be held concurrently with Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics – Spring Edition, Yarn Expo Spring, CHIC and PH Value from 28 – 30 March 2023.

Comprehensive range of products zoned for easy sourcing
The 27,000 sqm gross exhibition space in hall 5.2 will host suppliers in multiple product categories, such as bedding, towelling, table and kitchen linen, home textile technologies, and textile designs. Several product pavilions and zones will be formed to encourage efficient sourcing, with areas designated for quality bedding, towelling, feather and down duvet fillings, quilt fillings, intelligent equipment and upholstery fabric products. Buyers looking for sustainable fibres, yarns and fabrics may be interested in sourcing at the Lenzing Group’s brand new centralised Lenzing Home Textile Satellite Pavilion. With Lenzing joined by eight of its Chinese downstream manufacturers, the pavilion will showcase the various home textile applications for the Austrian company’s wood-based TENCEL™ fibres.

Other well-known international and domestic exhibitors include Cotton Council International (CCI), Zhangjiagang Coolist Life Technology, Guangdong Kulida Down, Wujiang City Yunjie Textiles, Yantai Pacific Home Fashion, Sunvim Group, and Jiangsu Goostars Hometextiles. These suppliers, and many more, will present their up-to-date products to meet the sourcing demands of buyers from different channels.

Programme
At every edition, Intertextile Shanghai Home Textile’s fringe events keep fairgoers informed on a variety of topics, allowing exhibitors and visitors alike to stay up to date with the latest market trends and make informed business decisions.

Aligning with the fair’s general direction on promoting sustainability, and to satisfy the industry’s needs, representatives from Lenzing will be holding an exclusive seminar about the e-commerce opportunities surrounding eco-friendly TENCEL™ products’ sleep enhancing qualities. Other presentations and discussions that touch on sustainability will also be available under the fair’s Textile & Technology event theme.

With consumers globally paying more attention to health issues and increasing their spending on health products, the home and contract textile industry is also a party to this rising trend. To this end, seminars discussing traditional Chinese medicine and how it relates to different health issues will be held on day one. Their crossover topics include how aromatherapy can encourage high-quality sleep, as well as an introduction on the innovation of traditional medicinal textiles.

Moreover, the well-known Chinese retailer JD.com will co-host an event that promotes home textile products made with Chinese cotton. Several talks will focus on different aspects, such as the products’ quality and the overall potential of this industry aided by government policies.

After China’s relaxation of border restrictions and other pandemic control measures, it is now easier for domestic and overseas buyers to visit their Chinese suppliers at the fairground, for the chance to touch and feel their desired products.

• Mode aus alter Arbeitskleidung

CWS Workwear lädt junge Designer ein, bis zum 15. April Entwürfe für Mode aus alter CWS Arbeitskleidung einzureichen. Die Gewinner werden ihre Kreationen im Sommer 2023 bei der Frankfurt Fashion Lounge präsentieren und können zudem eine Masterclass mit dem Upcycling-Pionier Daniel Kroh, inklusive Reise nach Berlin gewinnen.

CWS Workwear hat den Upcycling Fashion Contest ins Leben gerufen, um junge Designer für das Thema Upcycling zu begeistern und das Bewusstsein für die Möglichkeiten des Upcyclings in der Textilbranche zu stärken. Interessierte Kreative und Modedesigner haben die Möglichkeit, aus CWS Arbeitskleidung Mode zu entwerfen und ihre Designskizzen einzureichen: von Streetwear bis Businesskleidung – die Wahl liegt bei den Talenten. Welche Arbeitskleidung zur Verfügung gestellt wird, kann auf cws.com/upcycling-fashion eingesehen werden.

Als Serviceanbieter für Arbeitskleidung hält CWS Workwear seine nachhaltige Arbeitskleidung so lange wie möglich im textilen Servicekreislauf. Nachhaltige Arbeitskleidung wird für Unternehmen gewaschen, repariert und gepflegt. Wenn sie das Ende ihres Lebenszyklus erreicht hat, wird bereits jetzt 55 % der Textilien wiederverwertet. Durch Upcycling und Downcycling kann der Arbeitskleidung ein zweites Leben geschenkt werden. So kann auch im Bereich der Arbeitskleidung der Textilabfall reduziert werden. Aus diesem Grund arbeitet CWS Workwear bereits seit über 15 Jahren mit dem Berliner Designer Daniel Kroh zusammen, der seine Kleidung aus abgelegter CWS Arbeitskleidung entwirft und herstellt.

Ein zweites Leben für Arbeitskleidung
Eine Fachjury, bestehend aus dem Upcycling-Pionier Daniel Kroh, der Upcycling-Designerin Oxana Jemeljanow, Rosa Buchacher von Fairtrade Deutschland, Pia Schulz von Fashion United und der CWS Designerin Iris-Dorothee Rau, wird aus den eingesandten Skizzen die besten Entwürfe auswählen. Die Auserwählten erhalten dann ein Paket mit CWS Berufskleidung, anhand derer sie ihre Entwürfe in die Realität umsetzen und bei einer Modenschau der Frankfurt Fashion Lounge im Sommer präsentieren können. Das kreativste Upcycling-Talent gewinnt eine Reise nach Berlin inklusive einer persönlichen Masterclass mit dem Upcycling-Pionier Daniel Kroh.
 
Interessierte können ihre Kreationen bis zum 15. April einreichen. Das Projektteam steht für Fragen per E-Mail oder Telefon zur Verfügung.

With China easing its pandemic restrictions, foreign exhibitors and buyers can look forward to quarantine-free travel when participating at this year’s industry showcase in Shanghai. The technical textile and nonwovens fair is scheduled to take place from 19 – 21 September 2023 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre, amid positive market forecasts for both sectors. The organisers are anticipating a strong showing and the conclusion of an inconsistent period for in-person textile business.

“The industry has demonstrated incredible patience and resilience over the course of the pandemic,” said Ms Wilmet Shea, General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd. “With both markets growing and China opening its borders, we are excited at the prospect of providing participants with an international, business-friendly platform and expect to welcome a healthy number of exhibitors later this year.”

The global technical textile and nonwovens markets are both set to perform strongly over the next few years. According to Grand View Research, the technical textile market is forecast to expand at a CAGR of 4.7% from 2022 to 2030^[1]. The nonwoven fabrics market is anticipated to display an even stronger CAGR of 5.6% during the same period^[2], with Asia-Pacific to maintain its position as the biggest regional market.

As one of Asia’s leading trade fairs for the abovementioned sectors, Cinte Techtextil China is the preferred platform for multiple industry players. Speaking at the previous edition in 2021, Mr Seven Shen, Sales Manager at Libero Trading (Shanghai) Co Ltd, China, said: “We have been exhibiting at this fair for years, and know we will meet our target customers at every edition. The buyers here are all highly specialised.”

During his interview at the same edition, Mr Eric Ni, Senior Manager, China Supply Chain Marketing for Cotton Council International, USA, commented: “We hope to use this platform to meet more companies and brands in the nonwovens industry who are interested in US cotton, and to meet up with old friends to discuss the current situation and industry trends. The fair’s buyers are quality, and we have found some new potential clients at this edition.”

Many buyers at the previous edition also gave positive appraisals. “As a professional trade fair for technical textile and nonwoven products, Cinte Techtextil China is not only a platform to gather qualified industry players, but also the best place to showcase new products and innovations,” said Mr Lin Bin, Technical Director at Zhejiang Xinna Medical Device Technology Co Ltd, China. “Specific and high quality products enhance sourcing efficiency for buyers, and exposure to new trends and market developments ensures my company visits here regularly.”

The fair’s product categories cover 12 application areas, which comprehensively span a full range of potential uses in modern technical textiles and nonwovens. These categories also cover the entire industry, from upstream technology and raw materials providers to finished fabrics, chemicals and other solutions. This scope of product groups and application areas ensures that the fair is an effective business platform for the entire industry.
