Cibutex Event: WORKING ON CHANGE

Cibutex, the Dutch/European circularity organisation for business textiles, held its annual Fall Event on October 1 in Amsterdam. Cibutex, set up by 5 textile management companies in 2022, today is a representation of a wide spectrum of companies from the business textile industry. It currently has around 50 members, located all over Europe.

Like Cibutex itself, the day was not at all like the average corporate congress. Expert speakers presented their view and knowledge of some complex issues, like the upcoming EPR laws and the situation of the textile recycling industry. The day’s theme ‘Working on Change’ was implemented litterally during the day: the 70 visitors to the event got actively involved in the discussions and expert panels. Together they worked on the future of Cibutex, as a driver of change in the world of industrial textiles.

If the event proved one thing, it is that a lot of work needs to be done. Further cooperation among members, connections to other industries facing similar challenges and more and better services for the Cibutex members are some of the topics that will be worked on in the near future. At the same time, the Cibutex Team has already started the preparations for the Spring 2026 Event.

Abrasion and pilling testing
Martindale testing needs little introduction to textile manufacturers, being well established as the industry standard for abrasion and pilling testing since its initial development and introduction by James Heal back in the 1940s.

For 2025, however, James Heal’s development team have taken a fresh look at this classic instrument and the result is the new Martindale Motion.
This redesigned nine-station Martindale instrument with individual lifting heads now offers the flexibility to run each station independently for carrying out different textile tests simultaneously.

Multiple textiles can be tested at the same time through to conclusion without intervention. Once set up, the Martindale Motion can be left running with the sample holders automatically lifting at the required evaluation points, freeing up the operator’s time to do other work without the need to return until the abrasion or pilling test is fully completed, including overnight.

Each sample is kept in-tact at the end point for evaluation and checking, reducing queries on grading and the potential need for re-testing. Further refinements include a new hinged access to change the self-aligning drive pins, allowing quick and safe switching between tests.

Designed and manufactured in the UK, the James Heal Martindale range has seen numerous updates, models and innovations over the years, such as touchscreen and user-friendly software, best-in-class safety features combined with the signature near silent running of this staple lab instrument. Added to this have been the introduction of the DurAbrasion multi-function testing machine, later followed by the market-leading evolution, the AquAbrasion wet abrasion tester launched in 2019.

The Martindale Motion, however, is now taking productivity and efficiency to a higher level than ever before.

Radio frequency drying
Total control of textile drying is meanwhile enabled with the advanced radio freqency (RF) technology of Strayfield, which has over 4,000 installations worldwide and provides solutions tailored to diverse textile applications such as cotton, wool, polyester, nylon, silk, acrylic and speciality blends.

Strayfield technology enables consistent quality, superior output and sustainability benefits through gentle and uniform drying, ensuring even results and moisture removal across entire batches and preserving fibre integrity, colour vibrancy and softness without yellowing or shrinkage.
Adaptive electrodes regulate power delivery according to product height and moisture, maximising efficiency and eliminating energy waste and unlike conventional rod systems, Strayfield’s full-area plates deliver consistent energy density for gentle drying without hotspots.

Kyocera Supported Production of Collections at Paris Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2026

Kyocera Document Solutions Inc. supported the production of dresses using artworks painted by artists contracted to HERALBONY for ANREALAGE’s Collection at Paris Fashion Week SS 2026, held on September 30, 2025. The collection comprised 30 outfits, 26 of which used fabrics printed with our sustainable inkjet textile printer "FOREARTH". For this collection, 21 vibrant designs by 18 artists contracted to HERALBONY were printed onto wide range of fabrics and, through ANREALAGE’s craftmanship, transformed into distinctive garments that conveyed movement and vitality. FOREARTH printing was used for bags and shoes, giving their designs an inner glow that attracted significant attention.

Works by artists contracted to HERALBONY are characterized by both intricate, delicate expressions and bold, powerful strokes. In the printing process for this garment production, our FOREARTH faithfully reproduced those artistic expressions. Moreover, features unique to each artwork—such as variations in brush pressure and brushstroke—along with subtle differences in hue and tonal gradation were recreated through precise ink-volume adjustments made possible by digital technology, allowing FOREARTH to play a significant role in this production.

„Seeing printed fabrics from Kyocera’s sustainable inkjet textile printer, FOREARTH, moved me“, said HERALBONY’s designers Takaya Matsuda and Fumito. „The printer reproduces the nuance in the artists’ brushwork—the subtle breaks, dynamism, and life—directly onto fabric. It felt as if the works were truly imprinted on society. We believe this is meaningful for the artists, their families, and the welfare communities supporting them.“

FOREARTH reduces water usage by 99.98%*1. This is significant for the resource- and water-intensive textile and apparel industry. We will continue to work with Kyocera to introduce and scale a model that protects artistic integrity while helping to solve environmental challenges.

The new BW Converting Baldwin TexChroma digital spray dyeing system.

02.10.2025

Swedish innovation at ITMA Asia + CITME

In response to unprecedented market demand, BW Converting, a member of TMAS, the Swedish textile machinery association, will provide details about its new Baldwin TexChroma digital spray dyeing system at ITMA Asia + CITME in Singapore from October 28-31.

“We are excited to launch TexChroma because spray dyeing is the future and many of our customers are already seeing the benefits,” says Yiannis Vasilonikolos, BW Converting Sales Leader for Textiles, who has many years’ experience in textile dyeing technology. “We have conducted successful trials of TexChroma with pigment, reactive, acid and disperse dyes on both cotton and synthetic fibres.”

From production data to date, TexChroma can achieve savings in energy, dyes and chemicals of more than 30% compared to conventional continuous pad batch dyeing using steam, and up to 50% compared to exhaust reactive dyeing.

It also benefits from an advanced technology enabling reactive dyestuffs and alkali fixation chemicals to be mixed just seconds before spray application, in order to completely eliminate any ‘tailing and listing’– uneven dye application or colour variations.

The TexCoat® G4 Legacy
The introduction of TexChroma follows the runaway success of BW Converting’s Texcoat G4 finishing system in the past few years.

“TexCoat G4 spray technology was developed in Sweden from our off-set printing business, and we initially focused on installing units in Europe and the USA,” explains Vice President of Global Business Development for Textiles Rick Stanford.
“In the past two years, however, we have been very active in Asia, with 35 units sold – and many of these customers have been asking for a similar technology for the dyeing process.”

The first TexChroma will be installed at the plant of a very well-known Italian continuous dyer which is part of a larger textile manufacturing group, in order for it to be fully industrially tested before going into series production.

“Our first customer is close by our facility in Sweden, has the practical dyehouse skills we can learn from, and is a satisfied TexCoat G4 customer,” Stanford says. “We believe a major benefit of TexChroma will be in eliminating much rework which is common in dyehouses, but we’ve been very cautious about providing details on TexChroma too early. The dyeing process is unforgiving, and we must get it right the first time. The market has been ready for quite some time. And now, so are we.”

TMAS members in Singapore
In further new developments from TMAS members at the Singapore show, Kinna Automatic will provide details of its complete robotic lines for the production of pillows and duvets for the home furnishings sector and introduce the new Hector industrial sewing machine designed for the heavy duty circular and point stitching of filled textile components.

Eltex has made an important breakthrough on its EyETM tension monitoring system for the heat setting, tufting, warping and winding sectors, with the addition of electromagnetic brakes in combination with the latest advanced sensors. These enable tension variation to not only be detected, but automatically adjusted in real time during operation, rather than manually changed as previously.

The company’s ACT-R unit can further significantly reduce the selvedge yarn waste from the weft insertion systems of rapier weaving machines, while at the same time maintaining equal and steady tension across all pre-winders.

Advanced weaving control is also the bedrock of business for Vandewiele Sweden AB, which supplies weft yarn feeding and tension control units for weaving looms to the majority of the leading weaving machine manufacturers, as well as for retrofitting in working mills around the world The company will present its latest X4 yarn feeders with integrated accessory displays and has recently further strengthened its product portfolio with IRO Gaugepart modules. These are applied to tufting looms to determine the appearance of a carpet in terms of feel and structure.

Finally, the colarette machines of Svegea set the standard throughout Asia for the high speed production of tubular apparel components such as cuffs, collars and neck tapes and in Singapore the company will demonstrate its EC 50 and EC 200 with E-Drive II models, in addition to linked cutting systems.

Heberlein at ITMA Asia + CITME 2025: Jets developed for filament perfection

Heberlein, a leading supplier of air interlacing and air texturing jets, aims to impress visitors at ITMA Asia + CITME 2025. Novel solutions will be presented, which will allow filament yarn producers to achieve special quality specifications and process optimization. These latest developments combine the most sophisticated technology with user convenience and savings potential.

Data in the ‘Fibre Year 2024’ report confirms that synthetic fibres continue to outpace natural fibres, growing by 8.4% against 2.7% – and this upward trend is expected to continue. Man-made fibre hubs such as China (+8.8%) and India (+7.7%), and also Vietnam (+8.9%) show significant growth. Looking at the development of different synthetic materials, polyamide stands out, with a notable increase of 4.1%, underscoring its promising future. In the forefront of these developments are Swiss-made key components from Heberlein, delivering cutting-edge technology that powers quality and efficiency in polyamide yarn production.

DTY jets for demanding spinners and yarns
Launched at ITMA 2023, the Heberlein APe series was expanded with new types of jets. The two additional jets are particularly suitable for polyamide with fine titers.

This DTY jet series sets new standards in yarn processing. Developed for the efficient processing of fine polyamide yarns with a particularly high number of knots (FP/m), the successful APe series is renowned for its unique performance of more than 200 knots per metre. Despite its outstanding performance, it is the smallest jet in its class – fitting anywhere and best suited wherever air savings and optimized production efficiency are required.

The APe series is also attracting interest from market players striving for sustainable production through various measures. Its capability for equal knot performance with reduced energy consumption delivers sustainability without compromise.

Air splicing: maximum control and minimum effort
Yarn splicers produce a tear-resistant, homogeneous splice of material without knots. All they need is compressed air. Heberlein's AirSplicers produce first-class splices for a wide range of applications for technical fibers where extreme strength characteristics are needed.

The new AirSplicer-Basix was designed for technical yarns – including aramid, glass, and carbon. The splicer offers maximum control and user-friendly operation.

The sophisticated blow chamber design makes it easy to insert, splice and remove the yarn without any additional manual steps or the need for the user to activate further mechanisms.

The design of the AirSplicer-Basix is reduced to the essentials. Still, it performs convincingly and offers flexibility as one or more connection points can be created, depending on the material used and the desired splice strength.

Source Fashion: A Bold Rebrand and the 2026 Theme, Analogue Futures

Source Fashion, the UK’s leading fashion sourcing show, unveiled its new retro-inspired brand identity, which will come to life at the next edition, taking place 12–14 January 2026 at Olympia London.

Alongside the rebrand, Source Fashion announces its 2026 creative theme, Analogue Futures, developed in collaboration with official fashion trend partner Trend Suite, founded by trend forecaster and designer Tiffany Hill. Analogue Futures champions authenticity, slowness, community, and creativity in response to an increasingly digital world. With an aesthetic rooted in 1980s and 1990s nostalgia, the reimagined Source Fashion will bring together global makers, designers, and retailers to explore fashion as activism and expression, and to celebrate the power of real human connection.

At a time when algorithms, automation, and polished pixels dominate our cultural landscape, Analogue Futures represents a growing creative movement that values imperfection, tactility, and authentic connection. From the resurgence of film cameras, Polaroids, cassette tapes, and vinyl to the rise of repair cafés and limited-run collaborations, this new analogue underground is rejecting the frictionless feed in favour of slower, more human ways of creating and sharing.

For Source Fashion, this ethos is more than a trend, it’s a manifesto. “In a world obsessed with filters and speed, we are choosing to press pause,” says Suzanne Ellingham, Source Fashion Event Director. “Analogue Futures is about valuing moments, memories, and creativity that lasts longer than a scroll. This really speaks to the mindset of slowing down, thinking about what we buy, how we make. It also taps into the degrowth models, reducing volumes, valuing what we make, and who makes it. Fashion has always been activism and expression, and this theme allows us to explore it in a way that feels real and connected to a growing consumer mindset.”

Visitors to the January show will see this philosophy brought to life. Expect a bold retro aesthetic rooted in 1980s and 1990s nostalgia and analogue design cues woven into experiences across the show floor.

The rebrand also reflects Source Fashion’s commitment to community. Moving away from mass attention and quick transactions, the show will prioritise deeper connections between buyers, suppliers, and creators. Alongside the exhibition, 2026 will see more community-building initiatives including retail safaris, industry mixers, and collaborative content partnerships.

By embracing imperfection, slowing down, and prioritising people over technology, Source Fashion’s Analogue Futures marks not only a striking new creative direction for the brand, but also a rallying call for the fashion industry to be more human, more sustainable, and more real.

EDANA concluded its flagship event, OUTLOOK™ 2025, last week, marking it as a major success with 475 participants from 207 companies across the nonwovens industry addressing the biggest questions. The three-day conference highlighted the urgent need for a unified approach to sustainability, regulation, and innovation in the absorbent hygiene and wipes sectors.

OUTLOOK™ conference always serves as a critical hub for dialogue, bringing together industry leaders, innovators, and policy experts. This year's conversations consistently centred on how to turn today’s challenges into tomorrow’s opportunities.

A World in Flux: Global Insights and Market Realities
The event kicked off with a powerful keynote from Ambassador Ivo H. Daalder, who offered a big-picture view of how global alliances and economic policies are reshaping trade and market opportunities. This strategic perspective set the stage for a deeper dive into the industry’s specific challenges.

Experts from around the world shared insights on the absorbent hygiene product (AHP) markets, particularly in developing countries, where local players are thriving by embracing agility and sustainability. A separate session focused on the wipes sector, where speakers from Water UK, Euromonitor International, and Suominen Corporation underscored that collaboration, innovation, and credible claims are key to a sustainable future for the category.

Sustainability in the Spotlight
Throughout the conference, sustainability was less of a buzzword and more of a central theme. Sessions provided practical guidance on navigating the EU’s Green Deal and securing funding for projects.

Cinte Techtextil China: 20,000 visits from 74 countries and regions

After three days of facilitating meaningful exchange for numerous applications of technical textiles and nonwovens, Cinte Techtextil China 2025 concluded on 5 September at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. Feedback across the fairground was highly positive, especially from first-time exhibitors and buyers who valued the platform’s capability to create new opportunities both in China and overseas markets. The fair attracted nearly 20,000 visits from 74 countries and regions – a 17% increase from last year, and, as the most comprehensive edition ever in terms of product categories, visitors had much to explore. Major fringe events, such as the China International Nonwovens Conference (CINC), Econogy Tour, Sustainability Forum, and AI Panel, linked innovation and sustainability with industry demands, maximising reach and business opportunities for participants.

As Asia’s only dedicated show for the full spectrum of technical textiles and nonwovens, Cinte Techtextil China 2025 hosted over 300 global exhibitors, and welcomed a wide range of visitors, including sourcing decision-makers, textile & mechanical engineers, product developers, researchers, and more. The fair saw a significant rise in visitor pre-registrations, with international numbers increasing by over 40% compared to the previous edition. VIP buyers from across the globe attended the fair, as did 14 visitor delegations with over 250 participants. Some of the leading brands included domestic representatives from Kimberly-Clark (China), Li Auto, Li Ning, and L'Oréal (China); and international participants from Lego System (Denmark), Norafin Industries (Germany), Rockline Industries (USA), and Toyoshima & Co. Ltd (Japan).

Among the returning exhibitors, key international players included AUTEFA Solutions, Lindauer DORNIER and Rowa Group from Germany, Fil Man Made Group from Italy, Graf + Cie and Swisstulle from Switzerland, Picanol from Belgium, and more. This edition also welcomed several newcomers, partly due to the incorporation of textile chemicals and dyes into this year's product categories. Key exhibitors making their debuts included: Serel Industrie (Belgium) and Proton Products (UK) in the European Zone; Wetekam Group in the German Zone; Dupre Minerals (UK) and Michelman (USA) in the Textile Chemicals and Dyes Zone; Huamao (Xiamen), BW Advanced Materials, Shanghai Shenda, and Zhejiang Kingsafe Group from China, JCT Industries Group from Malaysia, Vietnam Geotextile from Vietnam, and more.

To support the diverse array of exhibitors and visitors onsite, Cinte Techtextil China identified specific development areas and offered relevant fringe events to facilitate meaningful interaction. The Econogy Tour and Sustainability Forum promoted the industry’s eco-transition, with the latter sparking cross-sector discussions among academia, brands, and other industry players. On the innovation front, the AI Panel and the Innovation Product Award and Presentation provided forward-looking insights from various perspectives, helping the industry reshape its future.

Other events like the CINC, themed ‘Breaking the Deadlock and Reconstruction’, offered in-depth discussions and report presentations for the nonwovens industry to navigate upcoming challenges and opportunities. To harness the promising Mobiltech trend, the fair organised a Technical Innovation Exchange Conference on Automotive Textiles followed by a tour visiting related exhibitors. Interested parties could also enjoy live-streamed tours organised for in-demand sectors such as Medtech, Mobiltech, and Protech.

The next edition of Cinte Techtextil China will be held from 1 – 3 September 2026.

The fair is organised by Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd; the Sub-Council of Textile Industry, CCPIT; and the China Nonwovens & Industrial Textiles Association (CNITA).

CHIC Autumn 2025

19.09.2025

Erfolgreicher Abschluss der China International Fashion Fair

Mit mehr als 650 Premium-Ausstellern und knapp 61.000 Fachbesuchern aus 83 Ländern und Regionen auf rund 60.000 Quadratmetern bestätigte die CHIC Herbst 2025 ihre Rolle als bedeutendste Modemesse Asiens. 58.891 Besucher kamen aus dem Inland und 2.086 internationale Fachbesucher, darunter 1.571 aus Asien, 239 aus Europa, 87 aus Afrika, 85 aus Nordamerika und 53 aus Ozeanien. Der strategische Fokus der CHIC – „New Intelligence, New Products, New Scenes“ – spiegelt den Wandel der chinesischen Bekleidungsindustrie wider und betont die zunehmende Bedeutung von Lieferketten, Technologie und Nachhaltigkeit.

Das Leitmotiv der Herbstausgabe – das „Autumn Picnic“ – verlieh der Messe eine besondere Note: In entspannter und einladender Atmosphäre verschmolzen Business, Kreativität und Lifestyle zu einem inspirierenden Erlebnis. Die Picknick-Metapher stand für Austausch, Gemeinschaft und Offenheit und hob den kommunikativen wie innovativen Geist der Messe hervor.

Die Herbstausgabe präsentierte das gesamte Spektrum der Branche: intelligente Fertigung, digitale Supply-Chain-Lösungen, Produktionsprozesse im Einklang mit ESG-Kriterien – ökologisch nachhaltig, sozial verantwortlich und transparent gemanagt – sowie über 100.000 Produktvarianten. Die Innovationen reichten von Outdoor- und Streetwear über Seide und Baumwolle bis hin zu avantgardistischen Designerkollektionen.

Die Messe stellte auch chinesische Designerlabels in den Fokus: Mehrere Marken, die bereits auf Plattformen wie der Pitti Uomo in Florenz präsentierten, zeigten ihre Kollektionen in Shanghai und unterstrichen damit, dass sich chinesisches Design fest auf der internationalen Bühne etabliert hat. Labels wie May D. Wang und andere Vertreter einer neuen kreativen Generation verbinden Handwerkskunst mit innovativen Konzepten und kultureller Identität. Mit ihrem doppelten Auftritt – in Florenz und Shanghai – verkörpern diese Marken die wachsende Vernetzung der globalen Modewelt und positionieren sich zugleich als wichtige Inspirationsquelle für den chinesischen Markt.

Weitere Highlights waren lifestyle-orientierte Bekleidung und Sportswear, die sich als klare Wachstumskategorien bei Marktführern wie Zhangzhen Jeans, Zhijin County Batik Embroidery und Muye Zhanfang herauskristallisierten. „Guo Feng“ (National Style), von jüngeren Generationen als Ausdruck kulturellen Selbstvertrauens und nationalen Stolzes angenommen, wurde prominent von Shang JiuKai, Jixiang Yijia, Yinyou und Guopu repräsentiert. Technologische Innovationen zogen große Aufmerksamkeit auf sich: smarte Produktionsausrüstung, 3D-Druck Sneaker und KI-Lösungsanbieter wie PSAI, ARGUS, CHAOJIHUI und FEILIU TECH zeigten die digitale Spitze der Branche. Denim-Spezialisten wie Ange, Muundim, Morning Grazing und Yizhuo unterstrichen die anhaltende Relevanz von Jeanswear, während führende Outdoor- und Sportanbieter wie Aovat, Engellya, Day After Day, Calemur und Vstarry die dynamische Entwicklung des Segments hervorhoben.

CHIC Worldwide – Marktpotential für internationale Brands
Chinas Modeindustrie entwickelt sich von einer Produktionsbasis zu einem Innovationsführer. Für internationale Marken ergeben sich daraus klare Chancen:

Authentizität und Qualität bleiben entscheidend – „Made in Europe“ genießt weiterhin hohes Ansehen.
Digitale Präsenz auf Tmall, JD.com, Douyin und Xiaohongshu ist unerlässlich.
Agile Lieferketten und flexible Produktion sichern Wettbewerbsvorteile.
Kulturelle Sensibilität und lokale Anpassung stärken die Markenakzeptanz.

Globaler Rahmen, Markttrends und Konsumverhalten
Auch die globalen Handelsbedingungen spielten bei der CHIC Herbst 2025 eine Rolle. Während US-Zölle weiterhin Herausforderungen darstellen, reagieren chinesische Unternehmen mit Kostenoptimierung, Digitalisierung, Effizienzsteigerungen und KI-getriebener Innovation. Viele bauen zudem strategisch Werke in Südostasien und Afrika auf, doch China bleibt das zentrale Produktionszentrum – mit unübertroffenen Stärken in großmaßstäblicher Individualfertigung, wie das Beispiel der Dayang Group im Maßkonfektionssektor zeigt.

Obwohl die Zahl internationaler Aussteller seit der Pandemie zurückgegangen ist, bleibt CHIC dem globalen Markt verpflichtet. In diesem September unterstrichen italienische Delegationen mit fünf Unternehmen und acht Marken erneut die Rolle der Messe als Brücke für europäische Firmen beim Eintritt in den chinesischen Markt. Besonders gefragt waren lifestyle-orientierte Mode und hochwertige Produkte, die die „Old-Money“-Ästhetik widerspiegeln. Das Feedback der internationalen Aussteller fiel einhellig positiv aus. Fabio Sopranzetti, CEO von Franco Giazzi Srl (Italien): „Wir sind mit der Herbstausgabe sehr zufrieden und werden bei der CHIC Spring 2026 wieder dabei sein.“ Raffaele Vedani, CEO von Cinzia Caldi (Italien), betonte: „CHIC ist die professionellste Modemesse in China. Die Services des Veranstalters waren exzellent.“ Für Mauro Lore, CEO von Blanca Luz (Italien), war es die erste Teilnahme an der CHIC – „ein großer Erfolg“, sagte er und fügte hinzu, dass er im nächsten Jahr auf jeden Fall wiederkommen werde. Catia Saetti, CEO von Karma (Italien), hob den starken Eindruck dieser Ausgabe hervor, während Carlo Secca von Confezioni Pango SpA (Italien) erklärte: „Wir sind mit CHIC 2025 Autumn sehr zufrieden und freuen uns auf noch mehr Ergebnisse.“ Aus Deutschland nahm Tina Ayasse, CEO der Studio Ayasse GmbH, zum dritten Mal teil und profitierte erneut von wertvollen Geschäftskontakten; sie konnte sogar einen lokalen Agenten gewinnen – ein Beleg dafür, dass die Messe „wirklich Ergebnisse liefert“.

Nachhaltigkeit als weiterer Schwerpunkt
2025 richtete in der Nordhalle eine eigene Sustainable Innovation Zone ein und veranstaltete die Circular Stewardship Fashion Conference 2025.

Das Programm brachte Expertinnen, Experten und Unternehmen aus China und dem Ausland zusammen – darunter die National Development and Reform Commission, die Delegation der Europäischen Union, die Chinese Academy of Engineering, UNEP, die Lenzing Group, Decathlon und Nike. Diskutiert wurde, wie eine geschlossene industrielle Wertschöpfungskette für Textilien aufgebaut, zentrale ESG-Herausforderungen gelöst und Best Practices führender globaler Beispiele – etwa die EU-Regulierungsrahmen und Chinas lokalisierte Kreislaufwirtschaftsmodelle – ausgetauscht werden können. Kernthemen waren Materialinnovation, Veränderungen im Konsumverhalten und CO₂-Bilanzierung.

K 2025: TITK-Gruppe zeigt Bio-Klebstoff, Metalldruck-Filamente, Leichtbau-Tapes

Auch in diesem Jahr präsentieren das Thüringische Institut für Textil- und Kunststoff-Forschung e.V. und seine beiden Tochterunternehmen OMPG und Smartpolymer auf der Messe K, dem Branchentreff der Kunststoffindustrie in Düsseldorf, wieder innovative Produkte und Dienstleistungen. Darunter den mehrfach preisgekrönten Bio-Schmelzklebstoff Caremelt®, hochgefüllte Filamente für den Metall-3D-Druck oder carbonfaserverstärkte Tapes für anspruchsvollste Leichtbau-Anwendungen.

Unidirektional verstärkte Tapes sind Schlüsselmaterialien für den effizienten und nachhaltigen Leichtbau. Sie ermöglichen es, Bauteile gezielt, ressourcenschonend und leistungsoptimiert herzustellen, indem Fasern exakt dort platziert werden, wo sie für die mechanische Belastung benötigt werden. Damit stehen maßgeschneiderte Halbzeuge für den Leichtbau zur Verfügung. Auf der K-Messe zeigt das TITK hierzu die Ergebnisse eines Forschungsprojekts: neue, trockene Schmalbandgelege auf Basis von 50K Carbonfaserrovings. Diese Tapes wurden mit angepassten Nähgarnen und einer verbesserten Thermofixierung produziert und in einem automatisierten, robotergestützten Tapelegeverfahren verarbeitet.

Andere Exponate der TITK-Gruppe dokumentieren das zunehmende Interesse der Industrie am mehrfach ausgezeichneten Bio-Schmelzklebstoff Caremelt®. Er wurde zuletzt beispielsweise vom Branchenführer für Tierbestattungen, dem Unternehmen ROSENGARTEN aus Bad Bergen, oder der Firma Kneisz Design aus Weimar in die Produktion übernommen. Seit April und noch bis Mitte Oktober ist Caremelt® auch auf der Expo 2025 in Osaka (Japan) zu sehen.

Als erster vollständig biobasierter und bioabbaubarer Schmelzklebstoff kommt er komplett ohne fossile Ressourcen aus und bietet die Möglichkeit, Produkte, die bereits nachhaltig hergestellt werden, nun vollständig umweltfreundlich zu gestalten. Gerade bei Klebstoff ist ein Recycling nahezu unmöglich. Umso wichtiger ist es, dass am Ende des Produktlebenszyklus kein Mikroplastik entsteht. Die potenziellen Anwendungsgebiete von Caremelt® sind sehr vielfältig. Sie reichen von der Verpackungs-, Hygiene- und Textilindustrie über die Automotive-Branche bis hin zur Schuh-, Holz-, und Möbelindustrie. Der Klebstoff ist CO2-neutral; weltweit verfügbare Ausgangsstoffe machen seine industrielle Herstellung kostengünstig.

Auf ein anderes Einsatzgebiet zielen polymerbasierte Strahlungselemente für dielektrische Resonatorantennen. Diese sehr spezifischen Bauteile finden Verwendung in Antennen für lokale Breitbandsysteme der Industrie, Forst- und Landwirtschaft, für Sicherheitsdienste sowie für WLAN-Hotspots des Gebäudefunks und in Verkehrsmitteln. Das TITK forscht schon länger an diesen Polymerhalbzeugen und konnte erreichen, dass sie gegenüber konventionellen Produkten mit einer hohen Permittivität und niedrigem Dämpfungsverlust überzeugen.

Das Ziel der Untersuchungen bestand in der Entwicklung dielektrisch gefüllter Polymer-substrate und -halbzeuge, die sich als Strahlungselemente zunächst in Hotspotantennen zwischen 2 bis 3,7 GHz und 5 bis 6 GHz aber auch bei höheren Frequenzen im 5G-Bereich verwenden lassen. Hierfür wurden Polymerkomposite mit keramischen Komponenten wie Titanaten mit hohem Füllgrad und Permittivität sowohl unter Einsatz klassischer Kunststoffverarbeitungsverfahren, wie Extrusion, Spritzguss und Formpressen, aber auch mittels additiver Fertigungstechnologie wie dem FFF-Verfahren (Fused Filament Fabrication) zu den Strahlungselementen verarbeitet. Die eingesetzten dielektrischen Polymerkomposite sind auch bei sehr hohen Füllgraden thermoplastisch verarbeitbar, so dass gegenüber kommerziellen Laminatverbunden ein größerer Permittivitätsbereich abgedeckt werden kann.

Wie sich die Verarbeitungsprozesse für den Metall-3D-Druck nachhaltig und kreislauffähig gestalten lassen, hat das TITK gemeinsam mit dem ifw – Günther-Köhler-Institut für Fügetechnik und Werkstoffprüfung (Jena) und der GFE – Gesellschaft für Fertigungstechnik und Entwicklung (Schmalkalden) erforscht. Seit Juni ist das Projekt „kreislaufoptimierte Prozesskette für die additive Fertigung von metallischen Werkzeugkomponenten über Materialextrusion“ nun beendet, sodass in Düsseldorf konkrete Ergebnisse vorgestellt werden können.

Das TITK produzierte Filamente für den FFF-Druck aus eigens entwickelten Blends, die einen Füllgrad von bis zu 90 Gewichtsprozent Metallpulver aufweisen. Nach dem Verdrucken der Filamente wird der Kunststoff erst über Lösungsmittel und dann thermisch entfernt. Nach dem anschließenden Sintern liegt ein dichtes, rein metallisches Bauteil vor.

Konventionell verfügbare Filamente benötigen toxische oder brennbare Lösungsmittel zum Entbindern. Bei den am TITK entwickelten Endlosfäden können dagegen Wasser oder wasserbasierte Lösungsmittel vor dem Ofenprozess genutzt werden. Mit der Rückgewinnung des gelösten Binders und einer funktionsintegrierten Leichtbauweise leisten die Bauteile zudem noch einen Beitrag zur Ressourcenschonung. In einem Folgeprojekt sollen nun weitere Bindersysteme mit anderen Stahlsorten und auch keramischen Füllstoffen untersucht werden.

ITMA Asia + CITME: Swedish textile machinery manufacturers focus on on sensor-based automation and resource savings

Members of TMAS – the Swedish textile machinery manufacturers association – will introduce a range of new developments at the forthcoming ITMA Asia + CITME textile machinery exhibition in Singapore from October 28-31, with the emphasis on sensor-based automation and resource savings.

“The push for automation, AI-driven production and digitalisation continues to accelerate as manufacturers seek to improve efficiency and reduce dependency on repetitive tasks for operatives,” says TMAS Secretary General Therese Premler-Andersson. “Advanced automation enables predictive maintenance and real-time quality monitoring in fully integrated production systems and our members are already exploiting these technologies to help customers reduce downtime, improve efficiency and produce more sustainably.”

Single supplier
Under its trademarked slogan ‘Complete Process – One Supplier’, for example, ACG Kinna Automatic has pioneered the development of complete robotic lines for the production of pillows and duvets for the home furnishings sector – from the handling and opening of filling material and full line fabric feeding to sewing, digital quality control and packing.

Just a few years ago, such lines were seen by manufacturers as something exciting to perhaps consider for the future, but suddenly they have become essential to competing and surviving in today’s fast-moving industry.

“Automation has become a must for a number of reasons,” says ACG Kinna Marketing and Sales Manager Tomas Aspenskog. “Product traceability, flexibility and local production, in addition to new trade regulations, are now driving the market and given the challenge of finding skilled operators and constantly increasing costs, manufacturers are looking for simpler systems that will save on resources and boost productivity wherever possible.

“Our modular solutions enable customers to be more flexible and faster in adapting specific parts of a production line to meet new demands, and also to grow over time. There are also many benefits for manufacturers in dealing with only one project leader, contact person, supplier, freight handler and installation team.”

Industrial sewing
In Singapore, ACG Kinna Automatic will introduce the new Hector industrial sewing machine designed for the heavy duty circular and point stitching of filled textile components such as garden cushions, outdoor pillows and mattresses. Hector is already being employed by leading Swedish retailers including IKEA and JYSK in their manufacturing operations.

The Hector’s sewing arm is adjustable and can open up to accommodate thicker items under the needle and presser foot. It is available in three versions with sewing arms in lengths of 60, 100 and 120 centimetres.

Eltex EyETM
Another TMAS member, Eltex has made an important breakthrough on its EyETM tension monitoring system for the heat setting, tufting, warping and winding sectors, with the addition of electromagnetic brakes in combination with the latest advanced sensors. These enable tension variation to not only be detected, but automatically adjusted in real time during operation, rather than manually changed as previously.

“Our ACT-R is a completely plug and play, stand-alone system and self synchronizes without any communication with the weaving machine,” explains Eltex Sales Engineer Michél Gamhov. “This is important, because many older weaving machines are still in operation worldwide, and the ACT-R enables instant improvements to be made without upgrading these machines in any way. We have achieved fantastic results for weavers working with recycled yarns who have been amazed at the difference in consistent quality and uninterrupted production that can be achieved.

“As everyone knows, the less waste you have the more you save in materials, labour, runtime and quality and we can help mills cut losses in many of these areas depending on the challenges they are facing. Many of our sensor-based systems are able to give older textile machines a new life and in Singapore we’re looking forward to talking to customers about the problems they face, because we believe there’s even more, we can do with our advanced technologies to make their existing machines more efficient.”

Svegea tubular components
The colarette machines of Svegea set the standard throughout Asia for the high speed production of tubular apparel components such as cuffs, collars and neck tapes and in Singapore the company will demonstrate its EC 50 and EC 200 with E-Drive II models, in addition to linked cutting systems.

“Our collarette machines are designed for long life-cycle durability and energy efficiency, reducing waste while providing high-quality binding,” says Svegea Managing Director Håkan Steene. “Our customers in Asia are increasingly looking to automation to improve efficiency and achieve cost savings and we address these needs by developing flexible machines that can be adapted to a wide range of customer requirements and combine high performance with user-friendly automation features.

Vandewiele know-how
Advanced weaving control is also the bedrock of business for Vandewiele Sweden AB, which supplies weft yarn feeding and tension control units for weaving looms to the majority of the leading weaving machine manufacturers, as well for retrofitting in working mills around the world and will present its latest X4 yarn feeders with integrated accessory displays at ITMA ASIA + CITME 2024.

X4 feeders are available in three different versions – with an integrated tension display (TED), with integrated active tension control (ATC), or with quick release, which enables weft tension settings to be transferred from one machine to another, enabling a fast start-up the next time the same article is woven. The position of the S-Flex Tensioner is constantly monitored by an internal sensor – even if adjustment is made during power off.

Vandewiele Sweden has recently further strengthened its product portfolio with IRO Gaugepart modules which are applied to tufting looms for the carpet industry, to determine the appearance of a carpet in terms of feel and structure. All parts are now available to order from the www.iroonline.com e-commerce site.

“Our size and flexibility mean that we can offer bespoke customer solutions according to specific requests – something that many larger manufacturers have difficulty matching,” says Division Manager Tobias Sternfeldt.

Spray technology
Finally, the automated Texcoat G4 finishing system of BW Converting has been a runaway success in the past few years and the company will announce an entirely new, but related technology shortly before the Singapore exhibition.

“TexCoat G4 spray technology was developed in Sweden from our off-set printing business and we initially focused on installing units in Europe and the USA,” explains the company’s Vice President of Global Business Development for Textiles Rick Stanford. “In the past two years, however, we have been very active in Asia, with 35 units sold – and many of these customers have been asking for technologies in related areas. We’ll be saying more very shortly.”

Messegelände EuroShop 1966

15.09.2025

60 Jahre EuroShop: Von der Schaufenstermesse zum Global Retail Festival

Eine Messe, die nicht fragt, was verkauft wird, sondern wie: Mit dieser Idee startete 1966 die EuroShop in Düsseldorf und widmete sich einem Thema, das die Branche damals wie heute bewegte: dem Handel der Zukunft. 60 Jahre später ist aus dieser Vision die weltweit führende Plattform für Retail Innovationen geworden. 2026 wird in Düsseldorf das 60-jährige Bestehen mit einem „Global Retail Festival“ gefeiert.

Als sich vom 11. bis 15. Juni 1966 rund 330 Aussteller aus elf Ländern den über 30.000 Besuchenden auf 17.193 Nettoquadratmeterfläche präsentierten, ahnte noch niemand, dass sich die EuroShop zur weltweit führenden Fachmesse des Handels entwickeln würde. Die Ausstellung zeigte vornehmlich Ladenbau, Ladeneinrichtungen, Kühlmöbel, Kassen und Schauwerbemittel. „Hot Topics“ waren unter anderem „die moderne Drogerie“, „Textilien modern verkaufen“ und „Tiefkühlkost als Ware der Zukunft“. Anfangs begegnete der Handel der neuen Messe mit Skepsis. Doch schon zur zweiten EuroShop 1968 sprach die Presse von „Weltgeltung“.

Die EuroShop war stets Spiegelbild der großen Transformationen im Handel. Mitte der Sechziger lösten Selbstbedienung, Discountprinzip und offene Warendarbietung die traditionellen Tante-Emma-Läden ab. 1965 beschloss die Messe Düsseldorf gemeinsam mit dem EHI Retail Institute, das damals noch „Institut für Selbstbedienung“ hieß, eine neue Fachmesse speziell für den Handel aus der Taufe zu heben: die EuroShop – Europäische Ausstellung mit Kongress „Moderne Läden und Schaufenster“. Von da an erweiterte sich das Angebot der EuroShop stets mit den Neuerungen im Handel. In den 1970er Jahren hielten Beleuchtung, modulare Ladenkonzepte und elektronische Kassensysteme Einzug. 1975 wechselte die EuroShop aufgrund der mittelfristig angelegten Innovationspotenziale im Ladenbau in den bis heute gültigen Dreijahresrhythmus. 1978 ersetzte der zweifarbige EuroShop-Stern das alte Logo eines Ladens und Schaufensters. Das Markenzeichen steht für das Summenzeichen der Kassen, später aber vor allem für das Zusammentreffen von Angebot und Nachfrage der gesamten Investitionsgüterbereiche des Handels. Die 1980er standen im Zeichen technologischer Umbrüche: „Scanning in aller Munde“, schrieb die Lebensmittel Zeitung 1981, als Barcodes und automatische Warenwirtschaft vorgestellt wurden. Bald rückten bargeldloses Zahlen, Leergutrücknahme und Recycling in den Fokus – Themen, die die EuroShop frühzeitig aufgriff. In den 1990er Jahren wurden Läden zu Markenbühnen. Die EuroShop begleitete diesen Wandel mit innovativem Shopfitting, neuen POS-Technologien und den ersten elektronischen Preisschildern. 1996 sorgte ein Virtual-Reality-Prototyp für 80.000 DM für Aufsehen – ein Vorgeschmack auf die digitale Zukunft. Mit der Jahrtausendwende rückten multisensorische Erlebnisse, E-Commerce, RFID und Mobile Payment in den Mittelpunkt. Ein Jahr später feierte die EuroCIS als eigenständige Technologiemesse Premiere. Heute ist sie Europas führendes Event für Retail Technology. In den 2010er Jahren prägten Nachhaltigkeit, Omnichannel und Emotionalisierung das Bild. Mit neuen Sonderflächen wie dem Designer Village und renommierten Awards wie reta werden Highlights der EuroShop geboren. 2017 entstehen die sieben Erlebnisdimensionen, die die Messe noch heute in ähnlicher Form gliedern. Die 2020er Jahre brachten besondere Herausforderungen: 2020 fiel die Messe mitten in den Beginn der Corona-Pandemie. Die Besucherzahlen litten, doch die Innovationskraft blieb. 2023 markierte das große Wiedersehen: Digitalisierung, Energiemanagement und Nachhaltigkeit dominierten die Agenda, begleitet von spürbarer Aufbruchsstimmung.

Heute, 60 Jahre nach ihrer Gründung, zeigt sich die EuroShop als kosmopolitische Messefamilie: 1997 kam die EuroCIS als eigenständige Messe für Retail Technologie dazu, im Ausland entstanden internationale Spin-offs wie die China in-store in Shanghai und die in-store Asia in Indien. Zum 60. Jubiläum folgt ein weiterer Meilenstein der Expansion: Vom 26. bis 28. Oktober 2026 feiert die EuroShop Middle East in Dubai Premiere – ein klares Signal für die weltweite Relevanz der Marke.

Grund genug zu feiern: Vom 22. bis 26. Februar 2026 verwandelt sich das Messegelände in ein Global Retail Festival. Neben der Ausstellung mit rund 1.900 Ausstellern aus über 60 Nationen erwartet die Gäste ein umfangreiches Rahmenprogramm mit sieben Stages, vielen Sonderflächen wie z. B. dem Designers’ Village und der neuen VM Experience oder auch Guided Innovation Tours zu spannenden Ausstellern und Store Tours durch Düsseldorf. Networking-Formate wie Co-Working-Spaces und mobile Happy Hours laden ebenfalls zum Austausch der Retail Community ein.

Mit ihrer 60-jährigen Geschichte ist die EuroShop längst mehr als eine Messe. Sie ist Impulsgeberin, Innovationsplattform und familiäres Netzwerk. Oder, wie es einst ein Journalist über die EuroShop schrieb: „Die Uniformität des Standbildes […] ist der Individualität, dem Mut zu Wagnissen in einem Umfang gewichen, den selbst Fachleute nicht erwartet hatten.“ Eine Aussage, die auch 2026 aktueller nicht sein könnte.

Labelexpo: Plockmatic Group to showcase disruptor label technology

Disruptor technology and a new ColorCut LCF520 roll-to-roll label cutter will be showcased at Labelexpo 2025 on the Plockmatic Group stand. Along with the LCF500 and a technology demonstration of a 4-bladed LCF840Di, designed to eliminate rotary flexi die-cutting, the digital system enables converters – both large and small – to save up to thousands of Euros per job order.

Large, complex, high precision rotary flexi dies can cost thousands of euros for converters – and getting one from a third-party die manufacturer typically takes 1-2 days. But with Plockmatic Group’s ColorCut LCF range of all-in-one solutions for volume roll-to-roll production, new unique customer orders can be completed on the fly, for ultra short-run digital label production avoiding time-wasting flexi die-cutting.

Based on the same chassis as the single-bladed ColorCut LCF500 launched earlier this year, the new Plockmatic LCF520 has two blades and unique, patented auto tracking automation to ensure highest cutting accuracy.

A wide range of shapes and label sizes can be produced on the LCF family, which offers precise, powerful, and easily managed cut functions via its built-in control centre. It includes the added benefit to apply laminates when required using integrated lamination capabilities, along with a range of finishing options for labels, such as waste matrix removal and slitting for finished rolls.

In addition, at Labelexpo Plockmatic will have a prototype behind a screen for a new ColorCut label cutter LCF840Di with 4 heads.

With a show theme of “Relax – Taking the Stress out of Digital Finishing”, Plockmatic Group’s stand at Labelexpo at Fira Gran Via, Barcelona, Spain, from 16-19 September 2025 will host a wide range of label, cutting and finishing systems for label and flexible packaging markets. Other specific machines include the entry-level LC330 Automated label cutting machine, the Color Cut LC700 Pro for professional applications runs and the ColorCut LC6500 compact, on-demand digital sheet cutter, which is crossover product from labels into light packaging applications, POS and lightweight card projects, as well as kiss-cutting.

“The new LCF520 roll-to-roll label spotlighted at Labelexpo is the newest family member in our disruptor technology that will eliminate the need for rotary flexi die-cutting for converters,” said Terri Winstanley, Marketing Manager, Packaging & Labels, Plockmatic Group UK. “It has the potential to save hundreds of euros, sometimes thousands, per job order. Other benefits include web-to-print label applications in extremely short run, same day dispatch plus converters can save on space where conventional dies used to be stored.”

She added: “The showcasing of this ColorCut LCF520 digital label cutter at Labelexpo will mark another important milestone for Plockmatic Group, as will the prototype LCF840Di that will also be on our stand. We’re anticipating a lot of interest from visitors.”

Craft is a verb

Heimtextil Trends 26/27 – Where AI and craftsmanship merge

Artificial intelligence has long been part of design – precise, efficient, omnipresent. At the same time, there is a growing desire for the handmade, for intuition and irregularity. It is exactly within this field of tension that the Heimtextil Trends 26/27 unfold: under the central theme of ‘Craft is a verb’, they show how high-tech, and craftsmanship are not contradictory, but open up new creative perspectives together.

Together with the founders of Alcova, Heimtextil presents a trend landscape in which craftsmanship and digital design methods merge. Tangible textures meet generative patterns, natural structures meet algorithmic precision. This does not create a contrast, but rather an interplay: where traditional craft techniques reach their limits, artificial intelligence opens up new possibilities. This gives rise to a new type of player: the techno-craftsman. He does not see digital tools as competition, but as an extension of his toolkit. Heimtextil Trends 26/27 thus address the current challenges of the creative industry: AI streamlines processes but raises questions about control and creative identity. The trends therefore focus on the lasting importance of craftsmanship – and how AI can meaningfully complement and support it.

‘The Heimtextil Trends 26/27 illustrate how artificial intelligence will change the textile industry and, in combination with craftsmanship, opens up new perspectives. They provide the industry with impulses for sustainable production methods, innovative cooperation models and the development of future-proof business strategies,’ says Olaf Schmidt, Vice President Textiles & Textile Technologies at Messe Frankfurt.

Alcova is not just about material and aesthetic trends. Rather, the curators focus on an attitude towards the mindful use of AI in design – as a complement to human creativity and as a means of relief and inspiration. This perspective also shapes their work: ‘At Alcova, we are drawn to objects and processes that are unexpected, experimental, even a little unruly – yet somehow find their way into our homes,’ explains Valentina Ciuffi from Alcova. ‘What surrounds us each day should provoke, raise questions, and invite conversation. That's why our focus is on projects that anticipate trends rather than chase them,’ adds Joseph Grima from Alcova.

Six key trends at a glance
Six key trends illustrate how this fusion of craftsmanship and technology is manifesting itself in concrete terms. They open up different perspectives on how AI and manual design will interact in the future.

1. Re: media
Textiles that emerge from the interplay of digital design and handcraft: drawings are first transferred into digital renderings, then converted back into jacquards or hand-embroidered patterns. This results in works that reveal the tension between different media. Motifs inspired by glitches – broken aesthetics, pixelated colour gradients and digitally reworked hand drawings can be expected.

2. Visible co-work
AI provides the designs, humans complete them: in these works, the boundaries between craftsmanship and code become blurred. The design is created using artificial intelligence and is completed through skilled craftsmanship. Examples include digitally embroidered linen, 3D knitted patchwork pieces and generative patterns on classic fabrics.

3. Sensing nature
Nature is the original source of inspiration here. Its forms, rhythms and structures reveal a diversity that is waiting to be decoded. Digital tools take on the role of translators: the rough surface of the ocean is transformed into a textile grid, while the lichen patterns growing over rocks are turned into decorative motifs through algorithmic processing.

4. A playful touch
At a time when design is characterised by functionality and optimisation, small decorative details are coming back into focus – not for practical reasons, but for pleasure. A ruffle on an otherwise minimalist curtain, a neon element on a natural-coloured linen blanket or an unexpectedly placed tassel: such gestures act as deliberate interruptions. They remind us that joy remains an essential part of design – and that textiles can also have humour.

5. Crafted irregularity
Fabrics with knots, irregular dyeing, visible seams and asymmetrical finishes take centre stage. These materials do not hide the craftsmanship but emphasise it – as a conscious counterpoint to the flawless perfection of AI-assisted design.

6. The uncanny valley
Technical elements such as wires, connections and coils are no longer hidden but deliberately displayed and showcased. They appear as visible details and draw the eye to the inner workings of the machine, rather than its flawless surface. This results in designs that reveal what is hidden – and, with their playful expression, unfold something strange, almost alien.

The colour palette of Heimtextil Trends 26/27
The colour palette ranges from down-to-earth tones to digital irritation: shades such as sand, clay, soot, olive and tree bark convey stability, materiality and connection. However, this natural calm is deliberately disrupted by sharp, synthetic accents such as acidic green, digital lilac and bright screen blue. These ‘glitches’ create tension and turn the colour scheme into a vibrant statement.

From 13 to 16 January 2026, the Heimtextil Trends 26/27 will be presented in an interactive format in the Trend Arena in Hall 6.1.
