AAFA Welcomes Progress On U.S. Trade Agreements With Key Central American Countries

WASHINGTON, D.C. — November 13, 2025 — The American Apparel & Footwear Association (AAFA) applauds today’s frameworks for agreements on reciprocal trade with El Salvador and Guatemala that incorporate key features vital for the U.S. textile, apparel, and footwear industry.

Steve Lamar, American Apparel and Footwear Association (AAFA)

“We are grateful to President Trump and his trade negotiating teams for this bold step to support U.S. workers and communities whose lives and livelihoods are directly enabled by U.S.-Central American trade. These actions bolster key U.S. export markets in Central America, reduce costs for American consumers, and reinforce the competitiveness of integrated regional supply chains that rely on U.S. cotton and other textiles,” said Steve Lamar, AAFA president and CEO.

Under these frameworks, the United States will remove reciprocal tariffs on products that qualify for the U.S./Dominican Republic-Central America FTA (CAFTA-DR). These actions follow each country’s commitments to take steps to strengthen their trade partnerships with the United States. The removal of tariffs on these CAFTA-DR qualifying products — items like textiles and apparel that are already subject to strict rules of origin — ensures that the U.S./Central American partnership can continue to support workers and communities throughout the United States.

“We urge these agreements to be finalized soon so that these gains can quickly take effect and encourage the United States to incorporate similar provisions in forthcoming agreements with our other CAFTA-DR partners,” added Beth Hughes, AAFA vice president of trade and customs policy.

Plastics Economic Analysis: U.S. Automotive Market Shows Resilience Despite Government Shutdown Data Gaps

WASHINGTON, D.C. — November 14, 2025 — The Plastics Industry Association (PLASTICS) Chief Economist, Dr. Perc Pineda, has released a new economic analysis showing that despite limited federal data availability due to the U.S. government shutdown, the nation’s automotive market remains fundamentally strong—supported by resilient consumer demand, steady production, and continued opportunities for plastics manufacturers.

Perc Pineda, Chief Economist, PLASTICS

Dr. Pineda explains, “The ongoing U.S. government shutdown has created significant hurdles for economists and analysts who depend on timely federal data. This is especially true in the automotive sector, where understanding motor vehicle demand and supply dynamics requires up-to-date statistics from agencies like the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) and the U.S. Census Bureau. With official releases stalled, piecing together a clear picture of light vehicle sales—encompassing automobiles and light trucks—over the past two months has become a patchwork effort. Despite these challenges, industry reports and alternative sources paint a picture of resilient demand, tempered by policy-driven fluctuations in electric vehicles (EVs) and fleet purchases.”

U.S. Textile Industry Applauds Plans To Reinstate Duty-Free Benefits For Qualified Textile And Apparel Goods From Guatemala And El Salvador

WASHINGTON, D.C. — November 13, 2025 — The National Council of Textile Organizations (NCTO), representing the full spectrum of U.S. textiles from fiber, yarn and fabrics to finished sewn products, applauded the administration’s announcement today of plans to reinstate duty-free treatment for qualified textile and apparel goods from Guatemala and El Salvador under the Dominican Republic-Central America-United States Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA-DR).

National Council of Textile Organizations President and CEO Kim Glas:

NCTO President and CEO Kim Glas

“NCTO and our industry leaders have long been pushing for the reinstatement of duty-free treatment for qualified textile and apparel goods for our CAFTA-DR partner countries. We welcome the administration’s announcements about restoring these benefits for Guatemala and El Salvador and continue to press for a resolution for the other trade partners including Honduras, the Dominican Republic and Costa Rica, while acknowledging that the administration is conducting an extensive review under Section 301 of Nicaragua and their human rights violations under a separate track.

“We sincerely thank Rep. Richard Hudson (R-NC-09), Rep. David Rouzer (R-NC-07), and many members of the House Textile Caucus for their leadership and efforts in helping reinstate duty-free benefits for CAFTA-DR countries in support of the domestic textile chain.  Today was a first great step and we want to thank President Trump, U.S. Trade Representative Ambassador Jamieson Greer, and the administration for this important decision.

“The CAFTA-DR region forms a vital co-production chain with the American textile supply chain, facilitating $11.3 billion in two-way trade in 2024 and supporting more than 470,000 U.S. workers in the domestic textile sector alone. However, since reciprocal tariffs were imposed on qualifying CAFTA-DR trade, U.S. textile and apparel imports from our free trade partner countries have declined 8 percent year to date in 2025 through July, while U.S. imports from top Asian suppliers have increased by double digits.

“The restoration of duty-free status for qualified goods from El Salvador and Guatemala is a critical key first step for our collective industries.  Restoring duty-free textile and apparel qualified goods from the CAFTA-DR region is important to bolster the U.S. textile supply chain can help bring some stability to this critical sector. The U.S. -Western Hemisphere supply chains stand as a bulwark to China and other Asian countries. We look forward to working with the Trump administration and lawmakers to find a resolution that will restore duty-free treatment for qualified trade for this vital region.”

Third Monforts Thermex For Turkey’s Altoteks

MÖNCHENGLADBACH, Germany — November 12, 2025 — As a leader in the dyeing, finishing and printing of fabrics for workwear and uniforms, Altoteks, based in Çorlu, Turkey, has been a highly valued Monforts partner since 1996, and has just installed a new Thermex continuous dyeing range.

With an annual dyeing and printing capacity of 18 million metres, the company’s plant already houses two existing Monfortex ranges, along with a Montex finishing range and related equipment.

Exacting standards

The new two-metre-wide line consists of three linked Thermex units.

The key fields of specialisation for Altoteks include the dyeing and finishing of para and meta-aramid fibre fabrics and blends, unique double dyeing and printing techniques for polycotton and nylon and cotton blended fabrics and special processes for ripstop camouflage materials. Another major field is in the coloration of modacrylic fabrics and flame-retardant cotton and viscose blends. All must meet the exacting standards of the military and civil defence services.

“Specialised equipment and know-how are required to achieve the high durability, colour fastness and performance standards required on the woven fabrics for the markets we serve and Monforts Thermex technology is one of the cornerstones of our expertise,” says owner of the company Mehmet Ucar. “We use the Thermex ranges for continuous, disperse and reactive dyeing processes and they are generally preferred for technical textiles and long-run reactive dyeing.”

“With its technologically advanced infrastructure, experienced staff and environmentally friendly production, Altoteks is constantly increasing its domestic and international competitiveness, with customers in Europe, Asia, the USA and Africa,” adds Monforts Area Sales Manager Thomas Päffgen. “Having embraced quality, sustainability and customer satisfaction as its core principles, Altoteks is thriving in some highly specialised markets.”

Econtrol®

The line benefits from gas-powered infrared predryers, providing high evaporation rates in a minimum of space.

The new two-metre-wide Thermex line consists of three linked Thermex units for continuous dyeing and thermosoling, along with gas-powered infrared predryers, providing high evaporation rates in a minimum of space, and cold pad batch (CPB) winding.

With the trend towards smaller lot sizes per colour in continuous dyeing and the requirement for simple processes, the new Altoteks range also benefits from the Econtrol®* process for reactive dyestuffs developed by Monforts together with Dystar – a simple, quick and economical one-pass pad-dry-wash off continuous dyeing process with drying in the hot flue at 120-130°C and controlled humidity of 25-30% by volume, to obtain fixation in two-to-three minutes.

Altoteks owner Mehmet Ucar: “Monforts Thermex technology is one of the cornerstones of our expertise.”

“The Econtrol process provides a significant advantage for our company, allowing for faster and more economical production in high-volume reactive dyeing,” says Mehmet Ucar “For Altoteks, the new machine will significantly improve production processes in terms of speed, quality and operational efficiency.

“The installation process was completed in a record time of approximately one month with the support of Monforts, its local agent Neotek and our technical team. Monforts consistently provided us with the necessary service support once the machine began production.”

CASCADE By KARL MAYER Leads To Significant Energy Savings When Used In The PROSIZE At Getzner Textil

OBERTSHAUSEN, Germany — November 12, 2025 — Getzner Textil AG is always open to new ideas and committed to investment in innovative technological solutions.

Getzner Textil AG

This has proven a highly successful approach for more than two hundred years now: founded in 1818 as a family business in Bludenz in the heart of Europe, the company is now one of the world’s leading manufacturers of fabrics for African fashion, shirts and blouses, corporate fashion, and technical textiles, with 1,550 employees, 710 weaving machines, seven locations, and an output of 73 million running meters per year.

PROSIZE

It was only in the autumn of 2024 that Getzner installed a new PROSIZE staple fibre sizing machine by KARL MAYER in its warp preparation department. The sizing machine was delivered with the then newly launched CASCADE and raised expectations of greater sustainability and lower energy costs – and justifiably so, as the results of tests carried out during machine operation in August this year showed.

The tests confirmed savings in steam consumption of up to 3.9% thanks to the steam and condensation system over a representative period of time. Peaks of up to 7% were measured at times.

Verifiable benefits

CASCADE recirculates part of the process steam produced during drying in cylinder dryers, enabling genuine, efficient energy recycling within the machine. Specific data on the recycling volumes achievable in practice was gathered in tests carried out at Getzner Textil in Bludenz. The tests looked at a drying line with ten cylinders during one shift and the production of seven weaving beams.

Steam System

The last four cylinders of the systems had been operating with a mixture of recycled flash steam from the first six cylinders and live steam. The respective supply quantities of recycled steam were measured. The results prove CASCADE’s effectiveness. At full machine load, 51 kg/h of the total 1,295 kg/h of steam required was obtained directly through the inline recycling of the CASCADE system.

As plant utilization declined, the potential savings in fresh steam decreased, but even at low-capacity utilization, reduction effects were evident. These are also influenced by the recipe, i.e., the process conditions. The following applies: the greater the temperature difference between the first and second cylinder sections, the greater CASCADE’s efficiency.

CASCADE thus opens up potential that can always be exploited without restrictions on the recipe. However, the magnitude of this potential can be influenced – unlike, for example, the eco mode in a car, which reduces performance and acceleration once activated.

Significant savings potential

(Left to Right) Thomas Rossi, Karl Heinz Vaassen and Werner Egger

The lower live steam consumption enables cost savings and a reduced carbon footprint. At full machine and production utilization – three-shift operation, 5,000 hours/year, 83% efficiency – and a steam price of €40/t, a cost reduction of around €8,500/year can be achieved under the representative practical conditions at Getzner Textil. In addition, in this specific example, it was possible to reduce the company’s environmental impact by 59 tons of CO2e/year.

Given the common practice of feeding condensate that is usually too hot for use in the boiler house back into the operating network, thereby losing thermal energy, every contribution from CASCADE pays off. For all customers who operate the feed water tank in the boiler house without pressure, any excess energy above a condensate temperature of 100°C is lost when it is fed back into the company’s own media network. The white steam clouds rising from the boiler house are a visible sign of this. With CASCADE, operators can minimize this loss of power without additional investments in machine peripherals.
