DORNBIRN, Austria — March 20, 2013 — The DORNBIRN-MFC will take place for the 52nd time and has
become the European/American lead event in the field of man-made fibers. The congress is geared
towards future themes like sustainability, innovation but also communication with the upcoming
generations and has been very positively accepted and supported by the fiber-making and processing
community. Coordinated world-wide activities of the program committee along with profound contacts
to academic/research institutions and roof organisations have created an increasing interest in
this event. Therefore it is possible to print a very detailed preliminary programme folder. The new
preliminary program with more than 100 lectures can be found on our homepage www.dornbirn-mfc.com.
New Challenges Need New Solutions
The 52nd DORNBIRN-MFC, from 11th to 13th of September 2013 with more than 100 lectures and
held by experts is offering an insight into the innovative power of man-made fibers, multiple
fields of application and new approaches for effective solutions. Out of a large number of
high-quality proposals we have tried to select for our visitors a representative cross-section of
lectures illustrating the contribution of various stages of the processing chain to a final
product.
Already in the opening session a lecture of the Institute for Management Research/Denkendorf
(Germany) will deal with trends in the textile industry, new business models, development
cooperation and the role of the man-made fibers industry in the processing chain of the future. A
further lecture of the Sustainable Apparel Coalition/USA is dedicated to environmentally friendly
garments from fiber to final product, including distribution.
The DORNBIRN MAN-MADE FIBERS CAMPUS offers again the possibility to young students and pupils
from textile schools to present their works in a short presentation to an auditorium of experts.
The other topics run as follows:
– Sustainable Solutions for the Fiber Industry (Bio-polymers and Bio-technology,
Man-Made Fibers for Environmental Protection)- Fiber Innovations (Filaments)
– Unconventional Fiber Applications (Composites)
– Finishing
– Sports- and Functional Wear
– Market Overview (Korea, India, Indonesia)
Details to individual lectures will be published on our homepage www.dornbirn-mfc.com.
Stronger presence of roof organisations and lead-industry
In parallel to the 52nd DORNBIRN-MFC, CIRFS/Brussels, the European Man-made Fibers
Association, and IVC/Frankfurt, representative of major man-made fibers manufacturers in Germany,
Austria and Switzerland will have meetings in Dornbirn. High ranking delegations including speakers

In connection with DORNBIRN-MFC (from 11th to 13th of September) ITMF/International Textile
Manufacturers Federation will hold its annual conference from 8th to 10th of September in Bregenz.
Some 200 decision takers from Fibers, Textiles, Auxiliaries and Textile Machinery will exchange
