KARL MAYER Warp Preparation Announce Contracts In Conjunction With ITMA ASIA + CITME 2024

OBERTSHAUSEN, Germany  — October 17, 2024 — With its exhibition at ITMA ASIA + CITME, KARL MAYER warp preparation focuses on sustainability and efficiency and hits the bull’s eye. The exhibits are among the top talking points at the KARL MAYER GROUP stand. On display here will be a latest-generation beam warping machine with a unique working speed of  max. 1,200 m/min, the brand new CASCADE system for significantly reducing steam consumption, costs and environmental impact during sizing, and the equally new Smart Size Box – a sophisticated technology that makes a valuable contribution to the topic of predictive maintenance by monitoring the condition of wear components and thus aroused the curiosity of many visitors, including a delegation from Pinhua Garments Co.

The renowned company based in Shijiazhuang in north-eastern China specializes in the processing of recycled staple fibres and focuses on high efficiency and low water consumption. An ISOSIZE and an earlier generation KARL MAYER sizing machine are already in production in its warp preparation department. Pinhua Garments has now invested in another innovative warp preparation solution, a PROSIZE with VSB Size Box. With the signing of the contract, the state-of-the-art sizing equipment celebrates its premiere on the Chinese market.

At the trade fair, the experts from Pinhua Garments first learned about the possibilities of the Smart Size Box HSB and expressed great interest in this latest development for the sizing sector. The advantages of the advanced solution include less unplanned downtime and maintenance costs, and therefore more efficient, but also quality-assured production processes.  Like all PROSIZE Size Boxes, the Smart Size Box enables a cover factor of up to 100% at a maximum sizing speed of 160 m/min, with 200 m/min also possible as an option.

In addition to the Smart Size Box feature, the Size Box VSB was the subject of the exchange with Pinhua Garments Co. The innovative sizing equipment works with a highly efficient application technology that uses up to 10% fewer sizing additives compared to the immersion bath process. This saves costs, energy during desizing and waste water. In addition, the ability to control the yarn tension by the sizing system is an important advantage in view of the demanding processing of cotton. This performance convinced Pinhua Garments: The company ordered a PROSIZE with VSB Size Box.

Gabriel Chiu, Regional Sales Manager for China at KARL MAYER Warp Preparation Business Unit

“This investment is a reinforcing vote of confidence and I’m pleased to see our customer willing to grow with KARL MAYER through different generations and developments of machines,” says Gabriel Chiu, Regional Sales Manager at Warp Preparation Business Unit.

Advanced Textiles Expo 2024 Brings More Than 4,200 Attendees, Showcasing Innovation And Collaboration

ANAHEIM, Calif. — October 17, 2024 — Advanced Textiles Expo® 2024, the largest event of Advanced Textiles Association® (ATA), concluded with resounding success September 24–26 at the Anaheim Convention Center. Once again held in conjunction with Sun Shading Expo North America — organized by Messe Stuttgart, founders of R + T and the world’s largest trade fair for roller shutters, doors/gates and sun shading systems–the combined events brought 4,295 attendees from across the globe.

This year’s event served as a dynamic platform for innovation, collaboration and business opportunities in the textiles industry, with a bustling show floor of roughly 380 exhibitors between both expos. Exhibitors showcased the latest technological advancements and products, including space for exhibitors to hold meetings with colleagues and customers.

Steve Schiffman, president and CEO of ATA, expressed his excitement about the continued growth and impact of the expo. “Advanced Textiles Expo continues to evolve and this year set in motion a variety of changes designed to create greater engagement and continuous improvement while keeping people on the show floor,” he said. “Our community values networking opportunities that introduce them to new people and new ideas, and we’re delighted that expo is the platform where that happens. Whether that was at the Textiles Challenge, Industry Night or the Women’s Networking Walk, Advanced Textiles Expo keeps bringing the textiles industry together every year.”

The expo also included more than 25 educational “campfire” sessions, with education spanning 15 markets. Educational sessions included textiles in the new space age, how to be more environmentally conscious in fields such as medical textiles and fabrics, updates on the Awnings Safety Act and other federal law changes, and general topics such as climate change, succession planning and supply chain updates.

The final day featured a Marine Fabricators Association Roadshow, which presented a new topic every hour: From how to build a U-Zip with a built-in rain flap, to selecting the best project materials and general tips and tools in marine fabrication.

Exhibitor demonstrations included everything from welding technology to no-weld canopy system demonstrations, new generation cutting, piece cutting machines and more.

Attendees and exhibitors alike competed in the highly anticipated Textiles Challenge, a fun gameshow-like activity that put contestants to the test both in their knowledge and skill regarding all things textiles. Dan King of Davey Textile Solutions took home first place, while Felix Arwen from NASA Johnson Space Center came in second place, and Justin Wagner from Applied Research Associates Inc. (ARA) placed third.

A series of networking events brought together fabricators, manufacturers, suppliers and thought leaders. Attendees and exhibitors alike met to unwind after the closure of the show floor on day one at the opening reception. Later that night, the fun continued at Industry Night, hosted at the iconic House of Blues. Attendees enjoyed live music and a delicious catered barbecue dinner, making it a night of celebration and networking in a lively atmosphere.

Attendees took advantage of other educational sessions and networking opportunities, like a morning fun run/walk Sept. 25, Speed Networking, NextGen Networking and a live recording of the podcast, Talking Textiles.

Advanced Textiles Expo devoted its last day to women in the textiles industry, beginning the morning with a Women’s Networking Walk, and continuing with women’s leadership sessions that were both educational and empowering. Connie Huffa, CEO of Fabdesigns Inc., and Michelle Lea, chief marketing and sustainability officer at NILIT Ltd., shared both their experiences and the latest from their industries, and answered audience questions about being a woman in the textiles industry. A development session about setting boundaries and prioritizing a work-life balance followed the forum.

Camari Henderson-Zenon, a fabricator and owner of Camari’s Custom Canvas, agreed on the importance of coming together with others in textiles at her first expo.

“As a woman in textiles, attending Advanced Textiles Expo provides me the opportunity to stay current on all aspects of the textile market by networking with other men and women in the trade,” she said. “Along with a platform to share hands-on experiences, both good and bad, with vendor reps to positively shape the trajectory of the industry.”

Emerging Technologies Conference also returned this year September 23–24, following its successful debut last year. Exhibitors learned about topics such as technology transfer in textiles, smart clothing innovations and the use of AI in advanced fabrics. They also participated in the highly anticipated LEGO® networking session and a biomaterials workshop that explored sustainable textile innovations. The conference included its own opening reception, another opportunity for attendees to network.

David Fezer, an exhibitor from Alpha Tubular Motors, said being in his company’s “hometown” made Advanced Textiles Expo extra special this year.

“We had an incredible experience at Advanced Textiles Expo in Anaheim this September. We’re already looking forward to the next year in Indianapolis and can’t wait to see everyone again,” Fezer said. “Thank you to everyone who made this event such a success!”

As the premier event for the textiles industry, Advanced Textiles Expo 2024 continues to prove itself as the top-tier opportunity for professionals to discover new trends, forge partnerships and explore the future of textile technologies.

The next Advanced Textiles Expo will be held November 5–7, 2025, in Indianapolis. For more information, please visit AdvancedTextilesExpo.com.

Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris Will Take Place At Paris-Le-Bourget Exhibition Centre From February 10 To 12, 2025

PARIS — October 17, 2024 — Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris will take place at Paris-Le-Bourget exhibition center, February 10-12, 2025. For three days, buyers will have access to the best in global sourcing to design and build fashion brands’ Spring-Summer 2026 collections.

International suppliers to the global apparel and fashion industry will gather for three days of Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris in Halls 3 and 4 of Paris-Le- Bourget exhibition center, whose Hall 3 has been completely rebuilt for the recent Olympic Games. Encouraging booking levels already suggest a particularly active session, in line with Messe Frankfurt France’s forecasts.

Offering synergies between materials and finished products

The return of Texworld and Apparel Sourcing to the Paris-Le Bourget exhibition center will provide an opportunity to develop the layout of sectors and services.

Some of the sectors from the two shows will be brought together to create new synergies and to offer a women’s wardrobe in Hall 4, and a large area devoted to outdoor-sportswear-casualwear in Hall 3. All the services, the trends forum, the restaurants and the Agora, where conferences and round tables are held, will all be regrouped in Hall 2. This new organization will enhance the coherence of the offer and provide new solutions for buyers’ sourcing work.

Presence of major suppliers and national pavilions

This dynamism of this edition is a reminder of the central role played by European markets for the fashion sector, from ready-to-wear to luxury. Like every edition, the major sourcing nations for fabrics, materials, accessories and finished garments products will be represented: first and foremost, China, with the largest number of exhibitors, Türkiye — the national pavilion supported by the Istanbul Chamber of Commerce (ITO) will be present — India, Korea, but also Indonesia, Pakistan, Thailand and Bangladesh, which should be at Le Bourget despite the difficult political context the country is going through. Texworld is also renewing the experiment launched in July on yarn sourcing with the Yarn Expo pavilion, valorizing the upstream sector and the know-how of leading spinning companies.

Meeting the evolving needs of fashion and apparel markets

Once again, this year, the Messe Frankfurt France team has designed the trade show offering to meet new market demands: “Buyers, brand managers and designers come to Paris looking for players who are able to export and meet the sustainable development objectives that consumers are imposing on the fashion world today,” explained Julien Schmoll, Marketing and Communications director at Messe Frankfurt France. Our expertise is to bring solutions and to select reliable industrial and commercial partners aligned with these expectations, capable of offering creative, quality products in large or small quantities, at attractive prices to meet the margin challenges, particularly in the mid-range.

Texpertise Econogy: spotlight on sustainable fashion

Driven by the Econogy principle, promoted worldwide by the Texpertise Network, Messe Frankfurt’s expertise in sustainability-related initiatives in the textile sector will be showcased through the Econogy Finder, which will enable buyers to identify online or on the mobile app all suppliers of sustainably produced textiles. In addition, the Econogy Talks will make it easier to find conferences dealing with these issues among the many round tables scheduled

in the Agora in Hall 2. Finally, the Econogy Tours, launched last July, will be renewed on Monday 10 and Tuesday 11 February, with a specialist on the subject covering a significant part of this specific offer.

Next edition in September 2025

Last but not least, Texworld Apparel Sourcing Paris has changed the date of its Autumn-Winter 2025-2026 edition, to be held from 15 to 17 September 2025 at Paris-Le-Bourget exhibition centre, with the leading sectors Avantex and Leatherworld. This calendar repositioning of the show enables its offer to be aligned with the creative cycles and meets the shared desire of buyers and manufacturers to ensure that sourcing and orders coincide more closely with the development of collections.

Rieter Ring Spinning System Powers Italian Textile Company Beste’s Fully Traceable Supply Chain

WINTERTHUR, Switzerland — October 17, 2024 — The Italy-based textile company Beste S.p.A. has placed an order for a complete Rieter ring spinning system. The latest Rieter technology, in conjunction with digitization and automation solutions, will support Beste in setting up the entire textile production process locally in Italy, centered around producing the highest quality for luxury brands. This investment is a key component of the ITACO project, which focuses on creating a 100 percent organic and fully traceable Italian cotton supply chain.

With the fully electronic ring spinning machine G 38 equipped with the piecing
robot ROBOspin, Beste Spa produces yarns of highest quality.

Beste and Rieter have signed an order to exclusively equip the newly founded spinning mill, FILUM S.r.l., in Bergamo, Italy, with the latest Rieter technology, including a complete ring spinning system. This is a pivotal step in the ITACO project, which encompasses every phase of cotton production — from the cultivation of organic cotton in southern Italy to spinning in Bergamo and garment manufacturing in the Prato region. Everything is done within a few hundred kilometers, providing unparalleled control over quality and sustainability, making Beste’s supply chain fully transparent.

From fiber preparation to winding, the new spinning mill will be exclusively equipped with the latest Rieter technology. With the fully electronic ring spinning machine G 38, equipped with the compacting device COMPACTapron, Beste produces combed compacted yarn that meets the highest standards required for its ITACO collection.

The Rieter Digital Spinning Suite ESSENTIAL connects the data in Beste
Spa’s new spinning mill.

The all-in-one digital mill management system ESSENTIAL connects data throughout Beste’s new spinning mill, giving the company a comprehensive view of all relevant performance indicators from bale to package. The fully automated piecing robot ROBOspin ensures consistent performance of the ring spinning machines and minimizes personnel deployment. The fully automated roving bobbin transport system SERVOtrail Direct further reduces personnel requirements as no manual bobbin transport is needed.

Giovanni Santi, CEO of Beste, stated: “We engage with partners who share our philosophy and standards. Rieter machines meet our demand for the highest quality and enable us to produce yarns for our garments that embody the design and quality hallmarks of ITACO, our unique, fully traceable Italian cotton project.”

Roger Albrecht, head of the Rieter Business Group Machines & Systems, adds: “We are proud that Beste has chosen our technology to accelerate their growth momentum. Our ring spinning system perfectly fits into this complete Italian production chain, supporting the ITACO project’s vision of high-quality, sustainable garments.”
