Advanced Textiles Association® (ATA): Women In Textiles Go Big In The Big Apple

ROSEVILLE, MN — May 1, 2025 — ATA’s 7th annual Women in Textiles Summit took place March 31–April 2 where an engaging and dynamic event took place in New York City. 140 attendees gathered at the Fashion Institute of Technology (FIT) for two full days of industry content, confidence building, networking, workshops and more.

A welcome reception kicked off the event to begin networking and provide a chance for over 80 first time attendees to get to know the group prior to programming. Shanya Scott from AATCC discussed her experience, “As a first-time attendee and as someone newer to the textile industry, it was a truly invaluable experience! The conference fostered intentional networking and deeper conversations throughout each day.”

FIT graciously hosted this event at their conference center in the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan where attendees were greeted by emcee and presenter, Tina VanSteenbergen. Tina began with a session on “debunking the confidence myth” and the valuable perspective that confidence is a spectrum, and not something that can be turned on and off. The rest of the day’s sessions focused on a variety of topics such as sustainability, imposter syndrome and bridging the industry and academia gap. Samantha Marion, TVF, Inc. said, “[I] really enjoyed each session. I’ll be taking home so many new tools and friends.”

Industry sessions included a session on understanding 3D material creation from W.L. Gore & Associates Textile Engineer, Christina Rapa who reviewed benefits of 3D design software to enhance efficiency in prototyping and innovation. Jasmine Cox-Wade from the Textile Technology Center at Gaston College also led an update on sustainable practices and trends in textiles along with a spotlight series on how three companies in attendance are doing their part.

Other event highlights included workshops and tours provided by FIT such as working with their natural dye garden, weaving recycled materials and infusing scents into fabric. “[I] loved the FIT workshops [and] hands-on ways to learn more we don’t always have exposure to,” stated Lindsey Hynek from Lectra. Active networking discussions, student posters, lively receptions and more also filled the days and evenings with a variety of content creating ample movement and opportunities to connect.

Engaging with the next generation is also a crucial part of networking. With this, FIT students were able to join the conference and listen into sessions throughout the day and join discussions with attendees, giving them the chance to network as the future of textile professionals, “I really enjoyed the education panels and discussions, I also got a lot out of the networking and speaking to many strong and empowering women!” stated FIT student, Andie Zion.

Day two of programming began with a discussion on how to navigate competition into community and to establish healthy relationships with women in the workplace, asking the question—who is on your team? A panel later took place titled, “Beyond the Runway: Bridging Industry and Academia in Textiles.” This discussion included a recent graduate, textile professionals and FIT professor offering advice and guidance on how industry can connect and support students into their careers. Finally, FIT graduate, Nicole Meier, Director of Product Marketing at Pantone ended the day with the crucial message to trust your gut, because intuition is a superpower.

The summit opened and closed with a Word Cloud for attendees to assess how they felt going into and leaving the conference. Some popular words and phrases as the event concluded were, “community”, “Inspiration”, “confidence” and “connection.” Participants left with a sense of invigoration and motivation both professionally and personally. As stated by Shanya, “I was able to learn from so many women across sectors, generations, and years of experience. I recommend anyone attend who’s looking for comradery, guidance, and building connections with supportive women in the textile industry. Can’t wait for the next one!”

Women in Textiles Summit will be back in 2026! Stay tuned for an update on dates and location.

Passing The Torch — Welcoming Jill Coleman As The Americas Apparel Producers’ Network (AAPN)’s New President

MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C.— April 29, 2025 — In a Letter to members, current President of The Americas Apparel Producers’ Network (AAPN), Tony Anzovino, announced that he will proudly hand over the presidency to long time member Jill Coleman at the upcoming AAPN annual meeting in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

“Since 2017, it has been one of the greatest honors of my career to serve as President of the AAPN,” wrote Anzovino. “What started as a two-year term turned into a much longer journey—thanks to the unexpected challenges of COVID and the important leadership transition to Lynsey. Along the way, we’ve learned and celebrated together at regional and international events, Carolina mill tours, and countless industry gatherings. Every moment has been an absolute privilege, and I have truly loved being part of this amazing community.”

Jill Coleman

“Jill is an outstanding leader with more than 20 years of experience across the full spectrum of the apparel supply chain—from product development and sourcing to sales, education, and go-to-market strategy,” said Anzovino. “As the principal owner of RC2 Sales Consulting and the Education and Sales Manager at Prairie Wear, Jill works with purpose-driven brands to spark growth and drive innovation in the apparel, healthcare, and uniform spaces.”

AAPN Executive Director Lynsey Jones added, “With experience at iconic AAPN member companies like Avery Dennison and Alvanon, Jill brings a rich, balanced perspective to the industry.

Monforts To Exhibit At Morocco Stitch & Tex 2025 Exhibition As North Africa Anticipates A Boom

MÖNCHENGLADBACH, Germany — April 29, 2025 — Monforts will exhibit at the upcoming Morocco Stitch & Tex 2025 exhibition which is taking place at the Casablanca International Fairground (OFEC) from May 13-15 at a critical juncture for the region’s textile manufacturers.

North African countries are currently looking to bolster their strong garment manufacturing operations with an expansion of textile production and finishing capacity, particularly with a view to exploiting the many benefits of the region’s close proximity to Europe and its cost and operational advantages.

Morocco is already in the top ten of suppliers to the EU and has also had a free trade agreement with the USA since 2006. It further looks set to emerge as a beneficiary of the recently-proposed new tariffs on imports to the USA – if they eventually go ahead – compared to its competitors in Asia.

As a specialist in advanced technology for fabric finishing, Monforts is well positioned to help.

Industry standard

Monforts Monfortex compressive shrinking ranges

Montex stenters for fabric finishing are the industry standard, particularly in the sectors of denim and home textiles, providing a number of advantages in terms of production throughput and especially in energy efficiency and savings. The other key technologies in the company’s range include relaxation dryers, Thermex dyeing ranges, Monfortex compressive shrinking ranges and MontexCoat and coaTTex coating units.

In 2024, Monforts celebrated its 140th anniversary and its technologies are based on successive industry developments and know-how accummulated over many decades. The company was founded in 1884 in Mönchengladbach in Germany where it is still headquartered and where its Advanced Technology Centre (ATC) for fully industrial testing and trials for customers is also situated. Monforts machines have been manufactured at the company’s plant in Austria since 1982.

Retrofitting

Textile companies making major capital investments in new manufacturing lines rely on durability and it’s for this reason that there are currently an estimated 2,000 Monforts machines in operation worldwide – some of which were first installed over 30 years ago. This doesn’t mean, however, that they can’t benefit from many of the advances in performance and automation that have subsequently been made by Monforts. The retrofitting of specific modules with new control and drive technology – going far beyond the basic replacement of spare parts – can have a significant impact on the performance of an existing line.

Double-digit increases

Monforts Area Sales Manager Achim Gesser.

“We have a strong presence in North Africa, particularly in Morocco, Algeria and Egypt, which remain key markets for us,” says Monforts Area Sales Manager Achim Gesser who will be at the show at stand D4 with specialists from Unionmatex, the company’s regional partner. “Imports of European textile machinery to Morocco have already been increasing in double-digit figures over the past few years and some exciting projects are currently underway there.”

These include plans to construct Africa’s largest textiles and garment manufacturing city in Morocco based on 568 factories and representing a planned investment of US$2 billion.

“There has been a lot of interest, in particular from Turkish textile manufacturers, in expanding their operations to North Africa and with over 600 line installations already established in Turkiye we have built up a lot of close relationships with the major textile manufacturers there,” Gesser adds. “We expect a lot of these companies to be at this major exhibition in Morocco, especially as it is covering the complete supply chain – from machinery and fibre and yarn suppliers to finished garment specialists. The Moroccan government’s Vision 2025 programme is targeting earnings of $10 billion for the clothing and garment sector at an average annual growth rate of 15% over the next five years and we are keen to help companies looking to contribute to this unprecedented growth.”

The next phase of targeted investment follows an extensive £13 million business-wide transformation programme which has included significant self-funded capex investment in manufacturing, plant and equipment. It also involved an end-to-end operational efficiency programme and an enhancement in R&D and innovation capability, to enable the servicing of growing order volumes.

Nonwovenn is also expanding its team to introduce a wider range of technically advanced respiratory protection and air and liquid filtration solutions.

Alongside this Nonwovenn is also advancing its coalescer filtration technology, which separates liquids from other liquids or gasses, for example in compressed air systems to remove oil droplets and fine particles. With strong partnerships already in place and exciting new opportunities in the near future, Nonwovenn is looking to double sales over the next 12 to 18 months.

In addition, the business is also advancing its acoustic solutions for ceiling / wall panels and automotive, which is a new product offering that has been developed and launched to the market. It offers a noise reduction coefficient of up to 0.85 without the use of any mineral or fiberglass mats. Plans are in place to expand in this area by 70% over the next three years to meet the increasing demand
