Atlas Introduces Next-Gen Ci3000 Weather-Ometer®

MOUNT PROSPECT, Illinois — October 8, 2025 — Atlas has officially launched the next-generation Ci3000 Weather-Ometer®, featuring nearly double the sample capacity, enhanced irradiance and temperature uniformity, a redesigned NextGen Ci user interface, and a sleek new exterior finish with integrated chamber lighting – all engineered to deliver more consistent and efficient testing across global labs. The upgraded system streamlines test setup, method selection, and day-to-day operation while building on the performance that has made the Ci-Series a trusted tool for plastics, coatings, and automotive OEMs.

Ci3000 Weather-Ometer®

A benchmark instrument for accelerated weathering and lightfastness testing, the Ci3000 is the most compact and cost-effective rotating-rack xenon arc unit in Atlas’s Weather-Ometer lineup (alongside Ci4400 and Ci5000). It reproduces years of outdoor exposure in weeks through controlled cycles of xenon light, heat, moisture, and spray.

“The Ci3000 has earned its place in labs worldwide by producing accurate, repeatable weathering data,” said Chelsea Todd, Product Marketing Manager at Atlas. “With these updates, customers gain higher throughput, wider test coverage, and improved stability – without losing the dependability they trust.”

Expanded sample capacity with improved uniformity

A new two-tier rotating rack nearly doubles sample capacity (from 20 to 38). Its redesigned airflow system delivers best-in-class, tier-to-tier uniformity across test parameters – an advantage for comparative and multi-client programs.

Wider irradiance range and stability

The next-gen Ci3000 introduces a widened irradiance range, enabling both high- and low-level test methods to be run directly, without additional modification. Controlled irradiance technology provides greater precision and repeatability, while advanced algorithms hold irradiance and temperature steady across varying lab conditions. These updates expand the instrument’s testing capabilities and improve reproducibility.

Simplified control and connectivity

The updated NextGen Ci user interface features a larger, high-contrast touchscreen for direct control of irradiance, temperature, humidity, and spray. Built-in notifications and multi-language support streamline daily operation. With WXView® II software, users can remotely monitor instruments, compare results across sites, archive data, and standardize workflows across facilities.

Automated environmental stability

SmartDamper™ technology provides advanced control of black panel temperatures (BPT/BST) and chamber temperature. This helps maintain tight, repeatable conditions and compensates for ambient fluctuations, supporting more reliable results across extended test runs.

Smarter, more efficient operation

A newly designed DI water cooling system improves lamp safety, efficiency, and reliability. The optional LiquiAir™ recirculating DI system can reduce tap-water use by up to 100%. A stacked indicator light clarifies test status at a glance.

Refreshed industrial design

The Ci3000 introduces a new exterior design in line with Atlas’s new design direction. A built-in chamber light makes lamp changes, cleaning, and maintenance easier.

Comprehensive standards coverage

The Ci3000 provides 14 factory pre-programmed methods, with space for 12 custom programs and sub-cycle capability. Its broadened irradiance range supports a wider range of test methods, and it conforms to current ISO, ASTM, SAE, Ford, GM, JASO, and other major global standards for weathering and lightfastness.

The Ci3000 will be on display at K-2025 in Düsseldorf, October 8–15, Hall 10 / D27.

Lenzing And Mill Partners Introduce Next-Gen Denim Possibilities With New TENCEL™ Lyocell – HV100 Fiber Innovation At Kingpins

LENZING, Austria — October 9, 2025 — When Kingpins Amsterdam opens its doors next week, the global denim community will witness Lenzing unveil a special denim showcase featuring a curated selection of key pieces made with TENCEL™ Lyocell – HV100 fibers in collaboration with various leading mill partners.

Featuring a wide range of denim styles from bottoms to tops in light and dark washes, the collection shows how this collaborative fiber innovation brings versatility to both everyday staples and elevated statement pieces.

Engineering authenticity through innovation

The challenge seemed paradoxical: how to engineer imperfection that looks natural? With Variocut technology, the fibers create natural irregularities and a matte finish, paired with a soft hand feel and reduced drape fluidity, delivering the authentic, premium look designers and brands seek while opening new creative and functional possibilities for denim:

  • Textured look – authentic denim wash down performance with a soft, natural hand feel
  • Matte finishing and opaque aesthetic
  • Natural softness paired with a reduced drape fluidity

“With the introduction of TENCEL™ Lyocell – HV100, we are reaching a new milestone in denim innovation. This new development delivers the authentic wash-down performance and opaque, matte aesthetics of a genuine denim, while maintaining the sustainability advantages of TENCEL™ fibers1,2. TENCEL™ Lyocell – HV100 also enables new design expressions with textured surfaces and a natural, comforting softness – opening fresh possibilities for denim creators worldwide,” explained Tuncay Kılıçkan, Head of Global Business Development, Denim, at Lenzing. “With TENCEL™ Lyocell – HV100, we’re pushing denim design further – achieving bright blue indigo wash-downs without off-shades, a matte authentic look, and that natural softness we’ve always aimed for.”

Adriano Goldschmied, the industry known “Godfather of Denim”, shared his vision on why authentic texture and new fiber solutions are vital for the future of denim: “I was truly excited to see how Lenzing’s new TENCEL™ Lyocell – HV100 expands the creative horizon for TENCEL™. Its evolution brings the fiber closer to the essence of heritage denim, with a richer, more intense uptake of indigo dye – deep, soulful, and beautifully authentic. All of this, while preserving the signature softness and drape we love in TENCEL™. In my view, it bridges the core denim look with the elevated hand feel that defines modern comfort.”

Amy Wang, General Manager, Advance Denim:

“Driven by the passion for Lenzing’s products, I often incorporate TENCEL™ fibers across our denim fabric designs. I have long sought a fiber that combines all the benefits of TENCEL™ with the natural feel of cotton – previously a major challenge for Lenzing. Now, they have delivered TENCEL™ Lyocell – HV100, which perfectly achieves the effect I envisioned.”

Hasan Javed, Executive Director, AGI Denim:

“For us, TENCEL™ Lyocell – HV100 means striking the right balance between authenticity, comfort and sustainability; it’s helping us meet the evolving customer needs, whilst pushing the boundaries of conscious fashion.”

Oktay Okuroglu, Head of Sales, Marketing and Product Development Director, ORTA:

“When I saw the TENCEL™ Lyocell – HV100 results, I said ‘we did it’ – It wasn’t grey, it wasn’t shiny, and it reacted to the indigo dyeing and washing exactly like cotton. To the eye, you cannot tell the difference; to the touch, you feel the softness and the comfort which you cannot get from a 14oz cotton fabric.”

Juan Pares, President of Textil Santanderina Group:

“At Santanderina Group, we’ve been working side by side with Lenzing for over 35 years, together with developing textile solutions that push boundaries and set new standards. That is why we are proud to be part of this new launch. TENCEL™ Lyocell – HV100 is more than a fiber; it is a step forward in performance, sustainability, and innovation. At Santanderina Group we are excited for what’s next, because it’s the future of textiles we’ll build together. Thanks, Lenzing, for giving us possibilities for the future with new innovations and new fibers.”

CEP Running Appoints Marc Sylvester As National Specialty Sales Manager

DURHAM, N.C. — October 8, 2025 — CEP Running, the performance compression brand built on medical-grade compression technology, today announces the appointment of Marc Sylvester as National Specialty Sales Manager. Sylvester will lead CEP Running’s U.S. sales strategy, across run specialty and strategic retail partners, with the mission to support the brand’s growth in compression socks, sleeves, performance apparel and footwear.

Marc Sylvester

As part of CEP Running’s ongoing commitment to the specialty channel, the brand continues to invest in the people and resources that fuel growth and strengthen retail partnerships. In this role, Sylvester will build on that commitment by driving sell-through through best-in-class education, enhancing category storytelling at retail, and deepening CEP Running’s relationships with leading run-specialty accounts.

Sylvester brings more than a decade of run-specialty, brand, and channel leadership experience, paired with an extensive background as a competitive runner, coach, and community builder. A fixture in the running community, Sylvester has served runners from every facet of running—starting as a collegiate runner to becoming a fitter and gait-analysis specialist, then advancing into territory sales, retail marketing, and brand-side leadership roles. He has built programs for sell-in and sell-through, led product education clinics, and partnered with high school, collegiate, and club teams to elevate performance and recovery. His background includes work with leading performance brands and specialty retailers, spanning route-to-market strategy, account service, and event activation.

“Marc is a runner’s runner who speaks the language of performance and understands the heartbeat of the run-specialty channel,” said Torrie Jackson, Vice President of CEP Running. “His track record in footwear and performance retail, combined with authentic
credibility among athletes, coaches, and store teams, makes him the ideal leader to scale CEP Running’s next phase of growth.”

Sylvester will lead a close-knit team of both internal and independent sales reps nationwide to support run specialty with new product introductions, as well as retail and consumer education around the performance benefits of medical-grade compression, including improved circulation, reduced muscle vibration, and accelerated recovery. In addition, he will expand strategic partnerships across teams, coaches, and race organizations to connect CEP’s product benefits directly to athlete outcomes.

“Compression is a competitive advantage when it’s done right—grounded in science, proven in training, and trusted on race day,” Sylvester explained. “I’m excited to expand CEP’s footprint with dealers who value education, measurable performance, and a closer connection to their running communities.”

Haelixa Adds Physical Proof To Digital Supply Chain Data With TextileGenesis

ZURICH / PARIS — October 8, 2025 — In a significant advancement for supply chain transparency, TextileGenesis has introduced a new feature in its advanced digital traceability solution, the Fiber-to-Retail (FTR) module, enabling suppliers to upload Haelixa DNA/Forensic Traceability Certificates via a dedicated dropdown menu: ‘DNA/Forensic Traceability Certificate’. This integration bridges the gap between physical and digital traceability, offering brands and suppliers a unified platform to verify material authenticity from source to retail.

The textile industry continues to face growing risks of fiber adulteration, blending, and fraudulent claims, particularly when it comes to premium materials such as organic cotton, recycled fibers, cashmere, and other high-value fibers. By combining Haelixa’s forensic DNA markers, which are embedded directly into the fiber, with TextileGenesis’ blockchain-inspired digital chain of custody, this integration enables a multi-layered traceability system, providing irrefutable scientific evidence alongside transparent, tamper-proof digital records.

“Traceability must go beyond trust—it must be verifiable,” said Gediminas Mikutis, Founder & CTO of Haelixa. “By embedding natural DNA markers at the fiber level, we offer forensic proof of origin. When paired with TextileGenesis’ digital platform, brands gain unprecedented visibility and assurance over the authenticity of their materials throughout the supply chain.”

“Supply chain transparency demands both depth and integrity,” adds Amit Gautam, Founder & CEO of TextileGenesis. “This integration with Haelixa is a powerful example of how digital and physical traceability methods can complement one another. It allows brands to consolidate all traceability data, transactional, certified, and forensic, into a single, trusted system of record.”

As global regulatory frameworks increasingly emphasize evidence-based sustainability claims, this collaboration supports brands and suppliers in strengthening their traceability infrastructure, reducing compliance risks, and reinforcing consumer trust through authenticated data and science-backed proof of origin.

Monthly Imports Expected To Drop Below 2 Million TEU As Tariffs Continue To Rise

WASHINGTON, D.C. — October 8, 2025 — With most holiday merchandise already on hand and tariffs continuing to rise, monthly import cargo volume at the nation’s major container ports is expected to fall below the 2 million TEU mark for the remainder of the year, according to the Global Port Tracker report released today by the National Retail Federation and Hackett Associates.

“This year’s peak season has come and gone, largely due to retailers frontloading imports ahead of reciprocal tariffs taking effect,” NRF Vice President for Supply Chain and Customs Policy Jonathan Gold said. “New sectoral tariffs continue to be announced, but most retailers are well-stocked for the holiday season and doing as much as they can to shield their customers from the costs of tariffs for as long as they can.”

The latest tariffs — 25% on upholstered furniture regardless of country and the same rate on kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities — are set to take effect next week and increase in January. And a tariff increase on imports from China that was delayed by 90 days in August is scheduled to go into effect Nov. 10, unless a deal is reached or President Donald Trump decides on another delay.

“Ongoing volatility in U.S. tariff policy is creating significant economic uncertainty, with trade volumes expected to see unpredictable shifts over the next four to six months,” Hackett Associates Founder Ben Hackett said. “Many large companies preemptively imported goods to build up inventories, but as those stockpiles are depleted, the full inflationary impact of the tariffs will become apparent.”

U.S. ports covered by Global Port Tracker handled 2.32 million Twenty-Foot Equivalent Units — one 20-foot container or its equivalent — in August. That was down 2.9% from July’s 2.39 million TEU — the peak month for the year — but up 0.1% year over year.

Ports have not yet reported numbers for September, but Global Port Tracker projected the month at 2.12 million TEU, down 6.8% year over year.

October is forecast at 1.97 million TEU, down 12.3% year over year, and November at 1.75 million TEU, down 19.2%. December is forecast at 1.72 million TEU, down 19.4% year over year for the slowest month since 1.62 million TEU in March 2023.

While the falling monthly totals are related to tariffs, the year-over-year percentage declines are both because of this year’s early peak season and because imports in late 2024 were elevated by concerns over port strikes.

The first half of 2025 totaled 12.53 million TEU, up 3.7% year over year. The full year is forecast at 24.79 million TEU, down 2.9% from 25.5 million TEU in 2024.

January 2026 is forecast at 1.87 million TEU, down 16.1% year over year, and February 2026 is forecast at 1.77 million TEU, down 12.8%.

Global Port Tracker, which is produced for NRF by Hackett Associates, provides historical data and forecasts for the U.S. ports of Los Angeles/Long Beach, Oakland, Seattle and Tacoma on the West Coast; New York/New Jersey, Port of Virginia, Charleston, Savannah, Port Everglades, Miami and Jacksonville on the East Coast, and Houston on the Gulf Coast. The report is free to NRF retail members, and subscription information is available at NRF.com/PortTracker
