Ostdeutsche Textil- und Bekleidungsbranche spürt Auswirkungen internationaler Handelskonflikte

Die stark exportorientierte ostdeutsche Textil- und Bekleidungsbranche rechnet für 2019 erstmals seit vielen Jahren mit einem Rückgang beim Gesamtumsatz. „Unsere flexibel agierenden Firmen verfügen über ein hohes Innovationspotenzial. Mit einem Exportanteil von durchschnittlich 45 Prozent sind sie den gegenwärtig negativen Entwicklungen in der globalen Wirtschaft extrem ausgesetzt. Hinzu kommt der sich im Inland vollziehende Strukturwandel in der Automobilindustrie und deren Zulieferbranchen, der bei einigen Herstellern von Technischen Textilien zumindest vorübergehend mit erheblichen Umsatzeinbußen einhergeht“, berichtete Dr.-Ing. Jenz Otto, Hauptgeschäftsführer des Verbandes der Nord-Ostdeutschen Textil- und Bekleidungsindustrie e. V. bei einem Medientermin in der Ontex Hygieneartikel Deutschland GmbH. „Erfreulich ist, dass unsere Bekleidungssparte in den ersten drei Quartalen dieses Jahres ein Umsatzplus von rund fünf Prozent verzeichnet. Allerdings macht sie nur zirka zehn Prozent der Gesamtkapazitäten unserer Branche aus. Die Textilsparte hingegen liegt nach unseren vorläufigen Schätzungen um reichlich fünf Prozent unter dem Ergebnis im Vergleichszeitraum des Vorjahres.

Allerdings macht sie nur zirka zehn Prozent der Gesamtkapazitäten unserer Branche aus. Die Textilsparte hingegen liegt nach unseren vorläufigen Schätzungen um reichlich fünf Prozent unter dem Ergebnis im Vergleichszeitraum des Vorjahres. Aller Voraussicht nach werden wir im laufenden Jahr den 2018 erwirtschafteten Gesamtumsatz von 1,87 Mrd. Euro nicht erreichen können.“

Angesichts dieser Entwicklungen bekräftigte vti-Vorstandsvorsitzender Thomas Lindner seine wiederholt geäußerte Kritik am Russland-Embargo der EU. „Derartige Maßnahmen schaden der heimischen Wirtschaft und taugen nicht dazu, politische Probleme zu lösen“, erklärte der Inhaber der Strumpfwerk Lindner GmbH, Hohenstein-Ernstthal, und Vizepräsident des Gesamtverbandes textil+mode e. V. (t+m), Berlin. Er bezeichnete die mit den Embargomaßnahmen einhergegangene Schwächung des Rubels und das geschwundene Vertrauen auf Seiten der angestammten Partner im Osten als Hauptursachen für die dramatischen Einbrüche der deutschen Textilexporte in die Russische Föderation: „Vor dem Embargo – also bis ins Jahr 2013 – hat die deutsche Textil- und Bekleidungsindustrie jährlich Waren im Wert von nahezu 1 Milliarde Euro nach Russland verkauft. 2018 beliefen sich die Russland-Exporte der deutschen Textilindustrie auf rund 684 Millionen Euro, damit liegen wir um rund ein Drittel unter dem Ausgangswert.“

Ein anderes Beispiel für die verhängnisvolle politische Einflussnahme auf die Wirtschaft seien die im Zuge der deutschen Energiewende entstandenen exorbitant hohen Energiekosten: „Die für 2020 angekündigte EEG-Umlage bringt uns Textilproduzenten erneut zusätzliche Belastungen und schwächt unsere internationale Wettbewerbsfähigkeit. Mit einem Zuschuss aus dem Bundeshaushalt zu den Netzentgelten und einer grundlegenden Reform der EEG-Umlage könnte die Bundesregierung in der Tat – und nicht nur mit Worten - beweisen, dass ihr am heimischen Mittelstand gelegen ist. Hinzu kommen perspektivisch weitere erhebliche Kosten für die Finanzierung des Klimapaketes der Bundesregierung.“

Its heritage and approach define a valuable and renowned legacy that is now taking stage at Denim PV on December 3rd and 4th. For the occasion, Elleti Group joined forces and knowledge with MYR, start-up program conceived to digitalize the creative process and connect users, suppliers and final consumers through a digital platform. Both companies will be in the Garments and Finishings area - booth C3,  howcasing an exclusive project to highlight their creativity and competences.

Starting from a selection of bold designs, entirely envisioned and developed with MYR software, Elleti Group worked to recreate their look and fit on six garments, manufacturing each piece according to its signature innovative and responsible approach. Featuring forefront machinery and cutting-edge processing solutions, this relies on a continuous research effort focused on granting high-quality products while increasingly reducing their knock-on effect on both workers and the environment.

The result turned out to be very impactful and inspiring, with denim solutions which proved the mastery of the leading Italian company in the art of washing, cutting and stitching the iconic blue fabric, as well as the great support that MYR software provided in the development of the collections.

Here are 106 pieces dating between the second half of the XIX century and the 70s, resulting in an invaluable testimony of how denim evolved through the centuries. For the first-ever collaboration of the Museum with a trade show, a selection of 20 historical garments is exploring three research areas. These are meant to focus on:

  • The brand identity of jeans through the main evolutions at Lee;
  • The influence of WWII on the design, the creation and the wearing of clothing;

Gesamtmasche e. V.: Partnerschaft mit Afrika

  • Deutsche Maschenindustrie kooperiert mit äthiopischer Textil- und Bekleidungsbranche

Der Gesamtverband der deutschen Maschenindustrie – Gesamtmasche e. V. und der äthiopische Textil- und Bekleidungsverband ETGAMA arbeiten künftig eng zusammen. Das Projekt ist Teil der Afrika-Initiative des Bundes.

Ziel der Kooperation ist die Förderung der Wirtschaftsbeziehungen zwischen Textilunternehmen in Deutschland und Äthiopien und die Stärkung von ETGAMA als Branchenvertretung. PartnerAfrica Ethiopia wird vom Bundesministerium für Entwicklung und wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit gefördert.

  • Deutsche Maschenindustrie kooperiert mit äthiopischer Textil- und Bekleidungsbranche

Der Gesamtverband der deutschen Maschenindustrie – Gesamtmasche e. V. und der äthiopische Textil- und Bekleidungsverband ETGAMA arbeiten künftig eng zusammen. Das Projekt ist Teil der Afrika-Initiative des Bundes.

Ziel der Kooperation ist die Förderung der Wirtschaftsbeziehungen zwischen Textilunternehmen in Deutschland und Äthiopien und die Stärkung von ETGAMA als Branchenvertretung. PartnerAfrica Ethiopia wird vom Bundesministerium für Entwicklung und wirtschaftliche Zusammenarbeit gefördert.

“Für das Projekt sprechen gleich mehrere gute Gründe”, sagt Martina Bandte, Präsidentin von Gesamtmasche. “Afrika südlich der Sahara ist für die meisten in der Branche noch ein weißer Fleck auf der textilen Landkarte. Dabei gibt es dort viel Potenzial für die Zusammenarbeit, auch wenn die Bedingungen nicht einfach sind. Kurzfristig geht es vor allem um Beschaffung von Garn und Lohnkonfektion. Langfristig müssen wir die Exportmöglichkeiten im Auge haben. Einige größere Volkswirtschaften Afrikas wachsen in schnellem Tempo und verfügen bereits über eine ansehnliche Mittelschicht.” Für das Afrika-Engagement gibt es noch eine weitere Motivation: “Im Rahmen eines Pilot-Projektes wollen wir Lieferketten transparent machen und der interessierten Öffentlichkeit präsentieren. Gleichzeitig wollen wir aufzeigen, wo dabei die Schwierigkeiten liegen.”

Der Textilsektor in Äthiopien ist vollstufig aufgestellt. Durch den eigenen Baumwollanbau dominiert vor Ort die baumwollverarbeitende Industrie von der Spinnerei bis zur Konfektion. Wichtige Produktbereiche sind Trikotagen und Haustextilien. Entsprechend gehört auch die Etablierung eines Qualitätsstandards für Baumwolle zur deutsch-äthiopischen Zusammenarbeit. “Die Verbandskooperation mit Äthiopien ist für uns ein erster, wichtiger Schritt hin zu einer breiteren Afrika-Strategie. Hier ist China uns bereits weit voraus“, gibt die Gesamtmasche-Präsidentin zu bedenken. Die Volksrepublik lege bei Infrastrukturinvestitionen in Afrika ein hohes Tempo vor und sichere sich mit Exklusivverträgen den Markteintritt und den Zugang zu Ressourcen. „Wir müssen dringend Gas geben, wenn wir den Anschluss nicht verpassen und nachhaltige Geschäftsbeziehungen mit Afrika aufbauen wollen.“

Sappi: Real solutions instead of empty words

A successful autumn season for Sappi at a collection of trade fairs, with exceptional interest shown in innovative packaging papers

Sappi Europe has presented its solutions for sustainable, future-oriented packaging at three trade fairs in the past few weeks. The globally operating paper specialist’s extensive product range has been serving as a benchmark in the industry for years and now includes the functional barrier papers from the Sappi Guard family, the sealable packaging paper Sappi Seal and the folding boxboard Atelier. The showcasing of innovations in sustainable packaging papers will continue at interpack in Düsseldorf in May 2020.

“Environmentally friendly packaging” was the first leading theme of FachPack, which, according to Messe Nürnberg, really had its finger on the pulse. This theme also was given top priority by visitors that were attracted to the Sappi stand, by its wide range of innovative and sustainable application solutions.

This theme also was given top priority by visitors that were attracted to the Sappi stand, by its wide range of innovative and sustainable application solutions.

Huge demand for specific projects
Almost fifty per cent more branded goods manufacturers, converters, established customers and interested parties visited the FachPack stand in Nuremberg compared to the previous year – with specific projects in mind. For those planning to replace composite packaging with a paper-based solution with integrated functionality, Sappi presented its Sappi Guard barrierpapers and highlighted some related best practice references. This included the packaging solution for a new nut-fruit bar, recently introduced to the market, from a well-known brand manufacturer. The Sappi Guard range includes Sappi Guard M and Sappi Guard MS with a mineral oil barrier (MOB) and a grease barrier of Kit 11 or Kit 7. All Guard papers guarantee very high product safety and can be completely recycled. The integrated heat sealability was the focus of the development of Sappi Seal. René Köhler, Head of Business Development Packaging and Speciality Papers at Sappi, says: “Reducing the consumption of fossil resources in packaging is a major concern for Sappi. On this account, we developed Sappi Seal, a functional paper with integrated heat sealing functionality which is integrated in the form of a dispersion coating on the reverse side of the paper and can replace papers with a PE coating.” Sappi presented a wide range of successfully completed projects in order to demonstrate the specific application of this paper to the trade fair visitors.

Oerlikon showed world premieres in China

Oerlikon has invited all visitors to this year's Shanghaitex in China on a journey into the future of manmade fiber production. From 25 to 28 November 2019, the world market leader showed all its guests its vision of a sustainable and automated manmade fiber production at its 100 m² stand in Hall E1, D20: "Clean Technology. Smart Factory." was the motto of the future. And this was only a stone's throw away from reality at the stand. Because today Oerlikon was presenting the four ITMA Barcelona world premieres for efficient machine and plant concepts in a new, innovative industrial design. Together with numerous other innovations, all this forms the new DNA of the Oerlikon Manmade Fibers segment.

Launched to create new standards in texturing: the eAFK Evo generation of machines promises superior speeds, greater productivity and consistently high product quality, along with lower energy consumption and simpler operation vis-à-vis comparable market solutions. Oerlikon Barmag showed these wideranging capabilities at the trade fair with a high-end design from the new system platform. In particular, the numerous value-added features include two that are excelling with cool technology: the optimized EvoHeater and the EvoCooler, a completely newly-developed active cooling unit.

Maisie Williams dresses up with Infinited Fiber

Global fashion brand Weekday decided to show initiative in circular fashion on White Monday and is now the world’s first global fashion brand who has published a garment from IFC fabric.

Weekday wanted to raise awareness of IFC by contacting Maisie Williams who’s known to speak about causes she cares about. Maisie co-designed a two-piece outfit which is made entirely from IFC fabric.

IFC’s technology enables the millions of kilos of textile waste that is currently burned or landfilled, to be turned into a cost efficient, high quality cotton-like fiber.

”Infinited Fiber Company has a really interesting new recycling technique that has potential to help Weekday in our goal towards 100% recycled or sustainably sourced materials. For us, this material is extra interesting because of its cotton-like appearance and durability,” says Ulrika Jakobsson, Sustainability and Material Responsible at Weekday.

IFC provided Weekday with a few meters of newly processed denim fiber to test and they are now the first in the world to use this fabric.

At the moment this garment is not a collection that can be purchased. Weekday is testing the material and they are hoping to create a full collection soon.
IFC‘s technology is operating in Finland and is patented, proven and ready for global up-scaling and licensing. Its investors include global fashion corporation H&M Group and Singapore based global biomaterials company RGE Pte Ltd.

PCMC: New design enhances safety and reduces changeover time on PCMC’s Omnia embosser-laminator

Improved pivot arm is available as an aftermarket modification
Paper Converting Machine Company (PCMC), part of Barry-Wehmiller, has announced that the redesigned pivot arm on the Omnia embosser-laminator significantly decreases changeover time and reduces the risks inherent to overhead roll removal. The new design will be standard on all Omnias sold, effective immediately. This pivot arm also is available as an aftermarket modification for existing machines in the field.

Because the shape of the pivot arm has changed, operators can move the lower rubber embossing roll out on rails to an assembly extraction position, from which the embossing roll can be lifted vertically during removal, without the need for rigging and slinging. This improved design reduces the risk of injury or damage during roll removal, and also decreases the amount of time required during a changeover.

“It will save hours in the roll-change process,” said Jason Hilsberg, PCMC Tissue Sales Director. “PCMC is always working to improve the capabilities and features of our machines for our customers, and more specifically, to enhance the experience of the operators. The decreased changeover time this new design offers will bring about a more efficient process to keep tissue operations running quickly and smoothly. It’s a win for our customers, and ultimately, their customers.”

SGL Carbon serially delivers composite materials for rotor blades to Airbus Helicopters

  • Glass fiber textiles for helicopter type H145
  • First ever material supply for primary structural components in the aerospace segment

Since August of this year, SGL Carbon delivers two special glass fiber textiles, so-called non-crimped fabrics, for the new version of helicopter model H145 from Airbus Helicopters. These materials are used in the new, especially efficient five-blade rotor. Developed in close collaboration with Airbus Helicopters, the material has been qualified for the application for the next years to come.  

Thanks to their unidirectional fiber orientation, the fabrics are extremely resistant, providing optimal support for the new geometry of the especially long H145 rotor blades. The fabrics are manufactured at the SGL Carbon site in Willich near Düsseldorf in a multi-stage process and delivered to Airbus Helicopters in Paris.

With the fabrics for Airbus Helicopters, we have realized, qualified, and started serial production for a material concept for primary structural components for the first time,” underscores Dr. Andreas Erber, Head of the Aerospace segment in the business unit Composites – Fibers & Materials at SGL Carbon.

The current deliveries are part of a framework contract with Airbus Helicopters, intended to gradually intensify collaboration. Besides the current development of materials for helicopter components, Airbus Helicopters and SGL Carbon have worked together in the area of component material processing for Airbus group aircraft doors for years. In addition, Airbus and SGL Carbon are jointly involved in various associations and research projects in the area of components, such as Carbon Composites e.V.

TOPIC OF THE SEASON: Responsible Future

Sustainability is part of SEEK’s internal make-up and has always been part of the team and community experience. Over 80 sustainable brands make up the brand portfolio, including players like Veja, Dedicated and Kings of Indigo. Experts will be sharing their experiences on this market-defining topic as well, with a host of live podcasts, talks and panel discussions, and will be shaping SEEK’s programme of content.
 
BIG PLAYER: the new SEEK Culture

 
SEEK is Europe’s most successful trade show for pop, street and sneaker culture. This is where the key players meet, where the looks of tomorrow are showcased, modelled and retold, where classics are celebrated, authenticity rules the roost and where icons take their positions alongside shooting stars. SEEK is essential participation for anyone looking to curate a modern, youthful and relevant range.

The shift from a niche event to a large trade show is now complete with a new logo and campaign design. SEEK has emerged from its transformation to reveal that its content and visual look are as relevant as ever!

SEEK is Europe’s most successful trade show for pop, street and sneaker culture. This is where the key players meet, where the looks of tomorrow are showcased, modelled and retold, where classics are celebrated, authenticity rules the roost and where icons take their positions alongside shooting stars. SEEK is essential participation for anyone looking to curate a modern, youthful and relevant range.

The shift from a niche event to a large trade show is now complete with a new logo and campaign design. SEEK has emerged from its transformation to reveal that its content and visual look are as relevant as ever!  

Together with creative agencies Karl Anders and Haebmau, the SEEK team has been working for weeks on the brand’s new branding. The result: a visual concept with a strong message.

“The handshake is the right imagery and commitment to our stance and that of the SEEK community.”

“SEEK stands for strength and business just as much as for communality and good vibes! ‘Get Along’ articulates a feeling of agreement, of moving forward and getting to grips with things. We all want to shape a positive future for our industry – as partners and by joining forces.”, explains Fashion Director Maren Wiebus.

CREATIVE CONNECTION: Karl Anders and Haebmau
 
The Hamburg-based agency Karl Anders, which was established by Claudia Fischer-Appelt and Lars Kreyenhagen, was commissioned to come up with the creative concept and design language for the logo and campaign.

“With the new look we are entering a new era for SEEK as a brand. Lots of brands have chosen a design using Helvetica in recent years,” says Claudia Fischer-Appelt, Creative Director at Karl Anders. “We are now signalling a clear shift in another direction. Confident, bold and independent. With the logo we are inviting the viewer to play with the linear layout in their head; we are breaking viewing habits, making a statement and revving things up a gear. SEEK, there it is.”
 
The artwork is the result of a process of in-depth debate with the SEEK brand that took place over several weeks both within the team and also with the support of lifestyle agency Haebmau. Workshops, research and analyses ultimately led to a new, strong brand identity. SEEK is focussed on both established and new players and stands for the WE.

“I have known SEEK since it was in its infancy, so to me it was always like a little brother of the large, successful PREMIUM. Quirky and different, always interesting but somehow not quite so imposing,” says Markus Bublitz, Executive Creative Director at Haebmau. “SEEK today is more grown-up, confident and sharper. Thanks to its position in the market, which it has conquered over the years, it no longer needs to please everyone but can afford to be controversial. This can offer space for new, creative ideas.”

SEEK is edgy, clean-cut and unpolished.

We are all about statement design, new classics, denim and sportswear. SEEK is the trade show event for the fashion community. SEEK knows who calls the shots; it boosts sales and is the place for the next generation of decision-makers to get together. Unlike all the others, SEEK is unconventional and the antidote to boring.

BeSoEFFECTIVE communication concept of the CHT Group is honoured with the GWA Effie Award 2019

Since 2018 the CHT Group has broken new ground in communication with BeSoEFFECTIVE. Complex chemical interrelations are translated into simple and hardly technical words in combination with stylistically clear pictures.

The Best Solutions ”BeSo“ were specifically tailored to the communication with the target group of textile brands and retailers and do therefore not only appeal classic B2B clients but are also visible and comprehensible for end consumers of textile goods. The agency RTS Rieger Team from Leinfelden-Echterdingen that had already supported the new brand identity of the CHT Group in 2017 assisted CHT again in developing and creating the BeSoEFFECTIVE concept. One year after its publication, the communication concept has now achieved great success. BeSoEffective was honoured with the GWA Effie Award 2019 in bronze in Frankfurt am Main on 14th November.

Since 1981 the Effie has been awarded for efficiency in marketing communication by the Gesamtverband Kommunikationsagenturen GWA (general association of communication agencies). It’s not exclusively the convincing look or content of campaigns that is honoured by the jury of experts with the GWA Effie Award but it’s rather the proven success and efficiency of such ideas and campaigns. By using the BeSoEFFECTIVE communication the CHT Group has so far increased the brands’ & retailers’ demand for innovative effects by about 30 %.

with CHT products are put in a nutshell by BeSoEFFECTIVE. The brand promise BeSo (”Best Solution“) is supplemented by an effect name deriving from the corresponding functionality – BeSoCOOL, BeSoFRESH or BeSoSMOOTH. Thus, each effect of the portfolio is given a uniform yet individual branding and a clear structure. The functionality of each effect is supplemented by pronounced and symbolic pictures which visually stress the benefits.

Eric Knehr, Head of Brand & Retail Service of the CHT Group states: “To us its of utmost importance to speak our target group’s language. Therefore, our BeSoEFFECTIVE campaign focuses on a clear communication with unique pictures and a uniform effect branding. Our customers’ positive reactions and this award prove, that our strong concept optimally supports our daily work as well as market and customer demands. However, it also puts the excellent performance of our innovative and sustainable effects into the right light."
