This expansion will provide a stronger presence on the West Coast and improve service for customers in the region.

Gerald Vogt, CEO of the Stäubli group

“Our goal is to accelerate growth and strengthen our business in North America, spanning all Stäubli divisions,” said Gerald Vogt, group CEO of Stäubli. “By bringing Electrical Connectors, Fluid Connectors, Robotics and Textile together under one integrated organization, we can serve our customers more effectively and foster innovation across every area of expertise.”

François Masbou, Managing Director for North America, added: “Combining these operations under one legal entity allows us to leverage resources and expertise across divisions. It positions us to deliver more value and support to our customers in the U.S. and beyond.”

Stäubli Electrical Connectors originally joined the Stäubli group through the acquisition of Multi-Contact in 2002 and has since developed into a major pillar for the company. This merger marks a strategic step in consolidating operations under one organization in the U.S, with its main location in Duncan, South Carolina, a factory and R&D center in Windsor, California, complemented by offices in Querétaro, Mexico, and Novi, Michigan.

Texpertise Focus AI: Messe Frankfurt Puts Artificial Intelligence Centre Stage At Its International Textile And Apparel Trade Fairs

FRANKFURT AM MAIN, Germany — December 18, 2025 — Under the banner “Texpertise Focus AI”, Messe Frankfurt will place a strong emphasis on Artificial Intelligence (AI) across its international textile and apparel trade fairs from 2026 onwards, setting a future-shaping signal for the industry. The initiative highlights the responsible use of AI along the entire textile value chain, from fibre production to the point of sale. The programme will launch at Heimtextil in Frankfurt in January 2026.

The textile and apparel industry is undergoing significant transformation: artificial intelligence is reshaping workflows, enabling new business models and offering solutions for sustainability, efficient value chains and the sector’s skills shortage. Commercial market analyses estimate the global market for AI in the textile industry to reach around USD 21 billion by 2033, roughly ten times the 2023 figure. According to Eurostat, 13.5 percent of European industrial companies were already using AI in 2024, including many businesses in the textile sector. Under the communication umbrella “Texpertise Focus AI”, Messe Frankfurt will showcase exhibitor applications and content formats relating to artificial intelligence at its international textile and apparel events from 2026 onwards.

“The potential applications of artificial intelligence are growing rapidly and are fundamentally changing how we work, produce and trade. This also applies to the textile and apparel industry. As the world’s leading organiser of trade fairs for the sector, we make relevant developments visible and foster global dialogue,” says Olaf Schmidt, Vice President Textiles and Textile Technologies at Messe Frankfurt. “With Texpertise Focus AI, our events provide orientation for the targeted and responsible use of AI within the industry.”

Artificial Intelligence as a Key Focus

From 2026, Texpertise Focus AI will further enhance the visibility and accessibility of AI-related topics at Messe Frankfurt’s textile trade fairs. This includes curated content formats such as panel discussions, guided tours and live demonstrations featuring international industry experts. In addition, many exhibiting companies will present AI-related solutions.

The initiative will commence at Heimtextil from 13 to 16 January 2026 in Frankfurt am Main. AI will feature across numerous programme items, searchable online under “Texpertise Focus AI”. On Wednesday, 14 January at 3 p.m., internationally renowned thought leader in AI for design, Tim Fu, will join the Architonic Live Talk. Under the title “Woven intelligence: designing spaces in the era of AI”, Fu will discuss how artificial intelligence can support meaningful collaboration between architecture and interior design to create spaces that connect craft with computational technology. Messe Frankfurt will roll out the initiative across its textile trade fairs worldwide. Local characteristics and market-specific challenges will be integrated into the concept to ensure relevance.

Artificial Potential for the Value Chain, Sustainability and Workforce Development

AI is transforming the textile value chain from fibre production to the point of sale and offers potential for greater efficiency, higher quality and improved resilience. In raw-material sourcing, AI systems support cultivation, harvesting and recycling through intelligent analytics and sorting technologies. In design and development, AI tools accelerate creative processes and simulate material properties, a concept reflected, for example, in the immersive installation “among all” by Patricia Urquiola at Heimtextil 2026. Production and logistics processes can also be optimised, waste reduced and supply chains made more transparent.

Artificial intelligence is also driving the twin transformation – the convergence of digitalisation and sustainability. Around 116 million tonnes of textile fibres are produced annually worldwide, yet only one percent of post-consumer textile waste is recycled. With AI, companies can conserve resources and reduce waste. AI-based design and forecasting models help prevent overproduction, while life-cycle analyses enable environmentally conscious sourcing. Image-recognition systems sort used textiles, laying the foundation for a true circular economy. The entire spectrum of textile processing technologies will be showcased at Texprocess from 21 to 24 April 2026 in Frankfurt am Main.

In the workplace, AI is creating new job profiles and reshaping existing ones, in areas such as data analytics, digital design and process control. It also has the potential to ease labour shortages: according to the German Institute of Textile Technology (ITA) at RWTH Aachen University, up to 70 percent of standardised production tasks could be automated. AI can also support recruitment by enabling targeted identification and selection of qualified professionals.

LOOM Carbon And RTI International Announce Strategic Collaboration To Transform Global Textile Waste

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C. — December 16, 2025 — LOOM Carbon and independent scientific research institute RTI International today announced a strategic research collaboration. The partnership will enable the scaling of LOOM’s proprietary thermal chemical recycling platform designed to transform non-recycled and hard-to-recycle textile waste into sustainable carbon-neutral materials.

Global textile waste exceeds 92 million tons annually, with recycling rates at less than 15%. This new partnership addresses this fast-growing environmental challenge by advancing a credible pathway to textile circularity.

LOOM Carbon’s process converts mixed and contaminated textiles into high value outputs that can re-enter industrial supply chains, including:

  • Circular pigments and materials that replace fossil-derived inputs in textiles, coatings, and plastics
  • Carbon materials that can be integrated into cement, asphalt, and composites, supporting infrastructure decarbonization
  • Excess thermal energy that powers operations efficiently, reducing reliance on external sources

These pathways demonstrate how textile waste can be recycled into durable, circular products rather than being landfilled or incinerated.

“Together with RTI, Loom is demonstrating that blended textile waste can be recycled into valuable resources,” said Kimberly Landry, CEO of LOOM Carbon. “This collaboration moves us from pilot to commercial readiness proving textile waste is a resource, not a liability.”

This project will take place at RTI’s Pilot Xcelerator facility, which helps startups, commercial partners and government-funded teams to scale promising technologies from the lab to real-world applications quickly, affordably and with confidence.

“We are proud to leverage RTI’s world-class Pilot Xcelerator facility as well as our expertise in process engineering and emissions validation to help accelerate a proven, scalable solution to textile waste,” said David C. Dayton, Ph.D., Senior Fellow and Director of Biofuels at RTI International. “Together, we aim to deliver real, sustainable benefits as this technology moves toward commercial deployment.”

The 12-month program will focus on scaling LOOM’s system to process challenging textile waste streams, validating product quality, and preparing for commercial deployment. This will target the processing of millions of tons of textile waste annually in Southeast Asia, Europe, North America and other markets with emerging textile stewardship regulations. Industry partners interested in feedstock supply or offtake agreements are invited to contact LOOM Carbon.

Nonwovens Innovation & Research Institute (NIRI) Celebrates 20 Years Of Nonwovens Innovation – And Looks To The Future

LEEDS, England — December 15, 2025 — Since 2005, NIRI has grown from a University spin-out into an internationally-recognized commercial consultancy – helping more than 450 companies enhance product performance, achieve their sustainability goals, reduce costs and improve efficiency.

Professor Stephen Russell and Chris Fowler first met in 2003.  As one of the leading minds in nonwovens, Steve was heading a research group at The University of Leeds while Chris, with a background in running innovative medical technology companies, was looking for an investment opportunity.  Their complementary skillsets led to the establishment of NIRI – as a spin-out of the university – with Chris as Managing Director and Steve as Technical Director.

Innovation House, NIRI’s HQ and state-of-the-art facilities

Recognizing the need for world-class talent to support real-world, commercial product development, NIRI has always had a clear focus on attracting driven individuals who are passionate about technical textile development.  They now have more than 400 years’ combined nonwovens expertise, including principal scientists, senior innovation engineers, and technicians.  And NIRI’s first ever recruit, Dr. Matthew Tipper, is now CEO.

NIRI have – to-date – helped improve more than 1,000 products, including novel blood plasma filters for the NHS, more discreet hygiene products, ballistic protection for soldiers, virus filtering masks, longer-lasting mosquito nets, and plastic-free alternative components.

The products NIRI develop for customers not only solve the technical challenge of meeting specific performance characteristics but are also commercially viable.  Crucial to helping clients achieve innovation within commercial timescales, to optimise time-to-market for new product development and existing product enhancement, NIRI prioritise investment in facilities and equipment: from expansion out of University premises in 2017, through to the opening of Innovation House in 2023 – a £1.2 million investment.  This latest move more than doubled the size of NIRI’s facilities, with seven new laboratories and significantly increased R&D capabilities.

And NIRI continue to look to the future, with investment into biopolymer processing and development; in R&D focused on high performance PFAS replacement, and further investment this year in polymerisation facilities.

Most recently, NIRI have launched the Technology & Innovation Hub, allowing start-up companies to co-locate alongside state-of-the-art facilities, complemented by support services and access to NIRI’s commercialisation expertise through bespoke packages to help start-ups and scale-ups accelerate innovation to commercially viable technologies.

NIRI remains committed to its original commercially-driven ethos.  Helping clients reduce costs and improve efficiency is at the heart of development and innovation.

Reflecting on NIRI’s growth and continuing ambitions, Chris Fowler said:

“Having successfully innovated many novel products across many sectors I am proud of the positive impact the NIRI team has made for our clients, end users and the planet.

I feel our mission to develop cost effective, novel products, which deliver high performance and help protect the planet is even more relevant today than when we started out over 20 years ago.”

Steve Russell added:

“It’s been exciting to be part of NIRI’s 20-year evolution, from small University-spinout to an internationally recognised commercial innovation company. It’s been a pleasure to work with so many different companies over the years, to deliver meaningful product improvements, and to witness the real-world impact, first hand”.

Matt Tipper commented:

“After 20 years NIRI continues to build on the founding vision of combining scientific excellence with industry knowledge to help the polymer, textile and nonwoven industry develop new products, solve industrial problems and generate new business.

“Looking to the future, the industry faces a radical change with new regulations, sustainability requirements, cost challenges, social responsibilities and the transition to a circular economy. NIRI is at the forefront of these material challenges and continues to help our clients meet existing and emerging business needs.”
