Autoneum: Revenue growth in a strongly declining market

In a strongly declining market, Autoneum increased revenue in local currencies by 1.9% in the first six months of 2019 thanks to numerous model ramp-ups. At CHF 1 156.1 million, revenue in Swiss francs reached the previous year’s level (CHF 1 159.4 million). All four Business Groups outperformed the market. The turnaround program in North America is showing progress, but the persisting operational inefficiencies at two US plants continue to impact the profitability of the entire Group, as already communicated. Accordingly, EBIT fell to CHF 16.4 million in the first semester, while the anticipated negative net result totaled CHF –6.0 million.

Accordingly, EBIT fell to CHF 16.4 million in the first semester, while the anticipated negative net result totaled CHF –6.0 million.

The weak global macroeconomic environment, ongoing trade disputes and the resulting uncertainty among car manufacturers and consumers led to a further sharp decline in global light vehicle production in the first half of 2019. In this difficult market environment, Autoneum was able to increase its revenue by 1.9% in local currencies in the first six months compared to the prior-year period, particularly thanks to numerous model ramp-ups. At CHF 1 156.1 million, revenue in Swiss francs reached the prior-year’s level (CHF 1 159.4 million). While the number of vehicles produced in all regions declined, Business Groups (BG) North America, Asia and SAMEA (South America, Middle East and Africa) grew and outperformed the respective market developments, two of them significantly. Only at Business Group Europe did the sharp drop in production volumes among vehicle manufacturers result in fewer call-offs and lower year-on-year revenue.

Gescher – HUESKER stellt weltweit erstes Geogitter aus hundert Prozent recyceltem PET vor. Mit Einführung der neuen ecoLine setzt das Unternehmen auf noch umweltbewusstere Lösungen, die bereits bei der Herstellung natürliche Ressourcen schonen und auch qualitativ den konventionellen Produkten in nichts nachstehen. Den Anfang der Markteinführung bildet das seit mehr als 40 Jahren am Markt etablierte Asphaltbewehrungsgitter HaTelit C, das bei der Sanierung von Asphaltflächen eingesetzt wird. Es ist ab sofort in der ecoLine Ausführung in gewohnt hoher Qualität mit den gleichen Produkteigenschaften verfügbar. Schon bald sollen weitere Produkte der ecoLine folgen.

Die natürlichen Ressourcen der Erde sind begrenzt. Umso wichtiger ist es Lösungen zu entwickeln, die den Verbrauch nachhaltig reduzieren und Verschwendung, zum Beispiel in Form von Abfällen, vermeiden sowie Materialkreisläufe schließen. Hier knöpft das Konzept der ecoLine an. Als erster Hersteller von Geotextilien weltweit stellt die HUESKER Gruppe, mit Hauptsitz in Gescher/Westf., ab sofort eines seiner beliebtesten Geogitter, die Asphaltbewehrung HaTelit C, aus hundert Prozent recycelten Polyethylenterephthalat (PET) Garnen her.

HaTelit C wird seit mehr als 40 Jahren erfolgreich als Bewehrung bei der Sanierung von Asphaltstraßen eingesetzt. Anders als bei den klassischen HaTelit Bewehrungsgittern, die aus konventionell hergestelltem PET bestehen, werden bei der ecoLine die Garne zu hundert Prozent durch recycelte PET-Garne ersetzt. „Der verantwortungsvolle und schonende Umgang mit Energie und Ressourcen ist Teil unserer Nachhaltigkeitsstrategie und wird in der gesamten Wertschöpfungskette gelebt“, betont Dr. F.- Hans Grandin, Geschäftsführer der HUESKER Gruppe. „Zudem ist es von je her unser Ziel konventionelle Bauweisen durch den Einsatz innovativer Produkte und Anwendungen aus Geokunststoffen dort zu ersetzen, wo sie aufgrund ihrer vielen positiven Eigenschaften in Sachen Qualität, Sicherheit und Zuverlässigkeit und besonders auch Nachhaltigkeit eine bessere Alternative sind“, fügt Sven Schröer, ebenfalls Geschäftsführer bei HUESKER, hinzu.

Gewonnen wird das recycelte Material aus entsorgten PET-Flaschen, die über den Warenkreislauf in Form eines Granulates wieder einer neuen Aufgabe zugeführt werden können. „Das recycelte PET, das wir verwenden, ist ein gleichwertiger Ersatz für das originäre PET-Garn. Es ist von gleich hoher Qualität und bringt dieselben Eigenschaften mit“, so Schröer. Dies war Voraussetzung für die Produkteinführung der eco-Version, um in vollem Umfang das Einsatzgebiet des klassischen HaTelit C abdecken und gleichsam eine ressourcenschonende Alternative anbieten zu können. Zum Vergleich: Mit jedem Kilogramm Recycling-PET-Garn werden etwa 4,3 kg CO2 Emissionen eingespart, wenn auf konventionelles PET-Garn verzichtet wird. Dies entspricht einer Autofahrt von 33 km (PKW mit Emissionen von 130 g äqu. CO2/km). Hochgerechnet auf die Produktion von Geotextilien in der Größe der Fläche eines Fußballfeldes (7.140 m2) werden etwa 1.200 kg CO2 eingespart, was einer Strecke von 42.000 km mit dem PKW entspricht.

Die Geotextilien von HUESKER werden weltweit in den unterschiedlichsten Projekten angewendet. Hierzu zählen die Bereiche Erd- und Grundbau, Straßen- und Verkehrswegebau, Wasserbau, Umwelttechnik oder auch Bergbau. Sie tragen vielfach enorme Lasten, sind starken Beanspruchungen ausgesetzt und müssen hohe Anforderungen in ihren Einsatzgebieten erfüllen, wie zum Beispiel als Hangsicherung, Abdichtung zum Grundwasserschutz, Hochwasserschutz oder Bewehrung im Straßenbau. Um die hohe Qualität und Zuverlässigkeit nachzuhalten, unterliegen Produkte von HUESKER regelmäßigen Qualitätskontrollen sowie einer qualifizierten Überwachung des gesamten Fertigungsprozesses durch das hauseigene akkreditierte Labor sowie auch Fremdüberwachungen durch amtliche Materialprüfungsinstitute.

„Wir prüfen unsere Produkte sehr sorgfältig. Sie werden erst dann dem Markt zur Verfügung gestellt, wenn alle erforderlichen Nachweise erbracht sind und sie unsere hohen Anforderungen erfüllen. So wie es auch bei den verwendeten recycelten PET-Garnen der Fall ist“, stellt Schröer heraus. „HaTelit C ist nur der erste Schritt. Wir sind uns unserer Verantwortung bewusst und werden in naher Zukunft mit weiteren Produkten unsere ecoLine fortsetzen“, so Schröer.

Archroma: New Formaldehyde-Free* Low Temperature Curing Binder

  • For Soft Vibrant And Durable Pigment Prints

Reinach, Switzerland - Archroma, a global leader in color and specialty chemicals towards sustainable solutions, has recently launched at the ITMA exhibition its new Helizarin® LTC New liq, a formaldehyde-free* low temperature curing binder for pigment printing on all kinds of fibers.

Prints are increasingly popular in apparel and interior textiles, as they allow us to express ourselves through vibrant colors and patterns. Consumers are especially drawn to the soft touch of an elegantly printed fabric.

Creating soft and vibrant prints can however be challenging for textile manufacturers: Pigment printing is usually applied to the fabric with a binder that often contains formaldehyde, needs a high temperature for curing, and can make the fabric harsh to the touch.

That is why Archroma developed its new Helizarin® LTC New to allow textile manufacturers to address these challenges.

  • For Soft Vibrant And Durable Pigment Prints

Reinach, Switzerland - Archroma, a global leader in color and specialty chemicals towards sustainable solutions, has recently launched at the ITMA exhibition its new Helizarin® LTC New liq, a formaldehyde-free* low temperature curing binder for pigment printing on all kinds of fibers.

Prints are increasingly popular in apparel and interior textiles, as they allow us to express ourselves through vibrant colors and patterns. Consumers are especially drawn to the soft touch of an elegantly printed fabric.

Creating soft and vibrant prints can however be challenging for textile manufacturers: Pigment printing is usually applied to the fabric with a binder that often contains formaldehyde, needs a high temperature for curing, and can make the fabric harsh to the touch.

That is why Archroma developed its new Helizarin® LTC New to allow textile manufacturers to address these challenges.

The innovation was developed in compliance with “The Archroma Way: safe, efficient, enhanced, it’s our nature”. The approach finds its origin in Archroma’s deep belief that it is possible to make the textile industry sustainable, economically and ecologically.

Helizarin® LTC New is a binder designed for low temperature curing or no curing. This allows to reduce the fixation temperature and time compared to conventional pigment printing processes. In addition, manufacturers will not experience the change of shades that sometimes occur with high temperature processes.

When using Helizarin® LTC New, textile manufacturers can therefore improve the productivity of their printing process and reduce their energy consumption.

Helizarin® LTC New is also a welcome solution for textile manufacturers who do not have curing equipment, since it offers similar to better fastness than commodity binders that have been treated through a full process, and excellent fastness on synthetic fibers such as polyester and polyamide.

When it comes to the final result on the fabric, Helizarin® LTC New allows the creation of soft and durable prints for premium quality articles.

The new product will be the core of Archroma's Cool Print, a complete formaldehyde-free* system that keeps printed textiles soft and durable, and the planet cooler.

The system, which combines Helizarin® LTC New with Luprintol® softening and fixing auxiliaries and Printofix® pigment preparations, allows manufacturers to realize potential savings of up to 30% in processing time, 45% in energy consumption and 44% CO2 emissions – compared to benchmark pigment printing.

Helizarin® LTC New, as well as the Cool Print system, is formaldehyde free* and registered under REACH. It can be used in line with the ZDHC & bluesign® requirements, is compliant with the Oeko-Tex Std 100 Class 1 standard for baby wear, and with the MRSL of the most major brands.

“Helizarin® LTC New was developed by Archroma’s R&D team together with experts at our Global Competence Center for Printing, based in Barcelona, Spain”, says Joaquin Femat, Head of Business Development for Printing, Brand & Performance Textile Specialties, at Archroma. “As The Archroma Way is based on Safe, Efficient and Enhanced as its three pillars, we designed an innovation that offers our customers a balanced combination of resource optimization, safe handling, and controlled effluent. Because it’s our nature!”

Mit dem C-Piece-Style ist EDUARD DRESSLER nun ein weiterer bedeutender Schritt in diese Richtung gelungen.

INNATEX feiert über zwei Dekaden Sustainable Fashion

  • „Green Fashion grows here“

Frankfurt am Main - Unter diesem Titel findet vom 27. bis 29. Juli 2019 die INNATEX mit rund 300 Brands in Hofheim-Wallau statt. Das Motto weist auf die Geschichte der Naturtextil-Branche hin, die die Fachmesse für nachhaltige Mode und Accessoires seit 1997 begleitet. Einmal mehr präsentieren sich im Messecenter Rhein-Main unterschiedliche Vertreter der Branche: Pionier-Marken gestalten die Entwicklung von Ecofashion genauso wie Newcomer, digitale Tools von Start-ups genauso wie altbekannte Institutionen, zu denen allen voran der Internationale Verband der Naturtextilwirtschaft (IVN) zählt.

Expertenvorträge betrachten die Industrie aus der Vogelperspektive

Der IVN, Herausgeber anerkannter Standards für nachhaltige Textil- und Lederprodukte (Naturtextil BEST, GOTS, Naturleder IVN) und Schirmherr der INNATEX, wird 20. Das Jubiläum ist Anlass für eine intensive Präsenz des Verbands auf der Messe. Sowohl Heike Hess, Geschäftsführerin des IVN, als auch Norbert Henzel, Diplom-Chemiker an der Universität Oldenburg, halten jeweils einen Talk und erzählen, was hinter den Kulissen der Modewelt passiert. Zu den Inhalten zählen der aktuelle Status und Neuigkeiten bezüglich nachhaltiger Textilsiegel, Schlaglichter auf den Entwicklungsprozess nachhaltiger Mode in den letzten 20 Jahren und künftige Herausforderungen.

Die Zukunft der Industrie sieht Heike Hess generell optimistisch: „Das Bewusstsein verändert sich, egal wo man hinschaut – ob im Bereich der Ernährung, Literatur oder Mode“, stellt die Geschäftsführerin des 1999 gegründeten Pionierverbands fest. „Der Verbraucher versteht den Sinn von Ecofashion. Nun müssen wir noch wirksamer vermitteln, dass nachhaltige Kleidung – also solche, die ohne schädliche Substanzen auskommt und von deren Herstellung Menschen leben können – mehr kostet als 3,75 Euro. Das zahlt man oft schon für ein Brot.“

Digitale Lösungen erleichtern Management-Prozesse und Netzwerkpflege

Die INNATEX hat eine Partnerschaft mit Fashion Cloud geschlossen. Das gemeinsame Projekt INNATEX ONLINE bietet Ausstellern der INNATEX und XOOM Berlin eine vergünstigte Premium-Mitgliedschaft bei Fashion Cloud an. Die Online-Plattform verbindet über 350 Marken und 5000 Händler aus der Modebranche. Mit der App OrderWriter organisieren Einkäufer mobil ihre Orderprozesse, verwalten Informationen und Materialien, überblicken Budgets und Kapazitäten. In Hofheim-Wallau halten nun René Schnellen, Co-Founder, und Kathrin Ranegger, Business Development Manager, ihren Talk über die Digitalisierung, das Produkt, Features, Vorteile gleich zweimal, jeweils am Samstag und am Sonntag.

Modenschauen, Netzwerkveranstaltungen, die Buyer’s Lounge und die Abendveranstaltung INNATEX Night, die auch das Jubliäum des IVN feiert, runden das Programm ab.

DesignDiscoveries: Hohe Nachhaltigkeits-Standards und sehr viel Leidenschaft

Ein weiteres Highlight sind die DesignDiscoveries. Jede INNATEX stellt eine kuratierte Auswahl an Marken vor, die soziale und umweltfreundliche Maßstäbe erfüllen und in den Bereichen Design und Qualität überzeugen. Jüngster Newcomer ist das Berliner Streetwear-Label Sam Lang mit seinem konzeptionellen, „genderless“ Design. Die Kollektion zeichnet sich durch grafische Muster sowie eine innovative Silhouette und Faltenlegung aus. Das Label für Damenmode Nudo aus Barcelona verbindet natürliche Textilien mit urbanem Chic und fairer Produktion in Europa.

Ecocape entwickelt eine Form von Outdoor-Mantel für Frauen, der funktionale Aspekte vereint, aber im Gegensatz zur sportlichen Windjacke einen eleganten Look hat. Zu den Materialien des in Deutschland hergestellten Capes gehört recyceltes Polyester. Das Label Klaamotte versieht seine Business-Hemden mit einem QR-Code, über den sich der konsequent durchdachte Herstellungsprozess nachverfolgen lässt. Bald soll eine Linie mit feinen, subtil humorvollen Mustern erscheinen.

Die Taschen und Accessoires von UlSto bestehen unter anderem aus nachhaltig geerntetem Kork und Filz aus recyceltem PET. Mit einem minimalistischem, zeitlosen Designansatz sollen die Produkte den Konsumenten im Sinne von Slow Fashion lange begleiten. Die Marken Ethnotek und N’GO Shoes stehen vor allem für Schuhe und Taschen mit gemusterten Stoffen, die von Kunsthandwerkern aus Vietnam gefertigt werden.

Die Kleinen kommen wie bei jeder INNATEX auch nicht zu kurz: Elodiee aus Dänemark entwickelt minimalistische Einteiler aus zertifizierter Baumwolle für Babys, Kinder und Frauen. Organic Cotton verwendet auch das Label Kidsbury für seine Kinderkollektionen. Das Produkt-Portfolio reicht von Jumpsuits über Leggings zu Sweatshirts.

LENZING™ fibers help to improve the quality of life for butterfly children

  • Undergarments, pajamas and bed linens tested for months
  • Moisture management of fibers reduce sweating and hence itching
  • Soft and smooth fibers lead to fewer skin injuries

The Lenzing Group has been providing both financial support and textiles made of its fibers to DEBRA Austria, the patient organization for “butterfly children”. The TENCEL™ branded lyocell and modal fibers which are being used are particularly soft and smooth and therefore very skin-friendly. In turn, they help to improve the quality of life for the “butterfly children”.

The Lenzing Group has been providing both financial support and textiles made of its fibers to DEBRA Austria, the patient organization for “butterfly children”. The TENCEL™ branded lyocell and modal fibers which are being used are particularly soft and smooth and therefore very skin-friendly. In turn, they help to improve the quality of life for the “butterfly children”.

In recent months, several patients with the skin disorder Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) have tested leggings, undergarments, pajamas, leggings, quilts and bed linens made of TENCEL™ fibers and have found them to be comfortable and skin-friendly. The skin of EB patients is fragile like the wings of a butterfly. For this reason, coarse fibers, scratching seams, buttons, zippers and fibers which hardly or do not at all absorb sweat frequently lead to additional blisters and sores and increased itching. In contrast, TENCEL™ fibers feature particularly good moisture management and thus support the nature temperature-regulating properties of the body.

Further benefits and savings with the new Monforts MonforClean

A. Monforts Textilmaschinen GmbH & Co. KG presented an energy-optimised new version of its industry-leading Montex stenter for the first time at ITMA 2019 in Barcelona from June 20-26th.

With the introduction of the new MonforClean exhaust air treatment system and other unique process innovations, Monforts has been able to further reduce the energy consumption of Montex stenters by a further 13%.

Exhaust air treatment on stenter frames has posed particular challenges over the years, since the air can contain significant amounts of oil, fibre and even wax particles that may see emissions limits being reached in the processing of certain fabrics, depending on the legal specifications.

In addressing this issue, Monforts is now incorporating the MonforClean module into the stenter frame, so there is no additional space requirement. At the same time, the costs for laborious secondary installations and the piping of the exhaust air treatment components, as well as supporting structures are eliminated due to the machine configuration.
