The Rupp Report: ITMA Asia + CITME 2012: Trützschler’s Enlarged Portfolio

On June 16, ITMA Asia + CITME 2012 closed its doors in Shanghai. With this feature, the Rupp Report
closes its reporting from ITMA Asia + CITME 2012. Last, but not least, the report is about
Germany-based Trützschler GmbH & Co. KG, one of the last few privately owned textile machinery
manufacturers in Europe. The Germans are among the world’s leading suppliers for short-staple draw
frames, and Trützschler has been building spinning preparation machines since 1888.

Over the last years, led by Heinrich Trützschler and his brother-in-law Dr. Michael
Schürenkrämer, the company enlarged its portfolio with some important acquisitions and
cooperations: At ITMA Asia + CITME, Trützschler was in the limelight because of the announcement of
a cooperation between Japan-based Toyota Industries Corp. and Trützschler to develop, manufacture,
and market combing machines
(See “
The
Rupp Report: Toyata’s and Trützschler’s Joint Machinery Project
,”
TextileWorld.com, June 19, 2012)
. In Shanghai, the Rupp Report talked to
Hermann Selker, Trützschler’s head of marketing.

Three Divisions

Today, the group is composed of Trützschler Spinning, Trützschler Nonwovens (Fleissner and
Erko) and Trützschler Card Clothing. The spinning division presented for the first time its new TC
8 card. This machine has been specifically designed for the Asian market and is built at
Trützschler Textile Machinery Shanghai, TTMS. Selker mentioned the exhibit enjoyed excellent
feedback.

Overall, the company was pleased with the frequency and the quality of the visitors: “We are
satisfied with the number of visitors as well as the quality. We did not expect that many visits at
our booth,” Selker said. “However, this is not an international show, but a regional event, and we
welcomed virtually only Chinese visitors.” Also, for Selker, there was a difference between this
and the last ITMA Asia: “As I mentioned before, in our segments, the Asian ITMA is very important
for our Mainland customers.”

There was not demand for any one particular product: “No,” he said, “we had requests for
virtually every product. Yet, draw frames and foreign matter detection systems were the main focus
of attention. Foreign matter detection is kind of a standard today for every quality-yarn-producing
spinner.” What are the reasons for that? “In spite of all rumors about China, there is a
possibility to sell. There is still some particular interest. The outcome of the event was better
than expected. We signed a considerable number of contracts.”

Nonwovens Machinery Made In Europe

Is the European market still important for the Trützschler Group? “Yes, but only for
nonwovens,” Selker said. “For nonwovens, Europe is extremely important for us. On the other hand,
the Asian market is vital for our spinning department, yet the nonwovens business is increasing.
This is thanks to the growing automotive market in Asia, where the suppliers must be present.”

Also for the group, China is still the number-one market, followed by Southeast Asian
countries such as Indonesia, Vietnam, Bangladesh and Pakistan. And India? “Well, India is very
quiet at the moment,” Selker said. “There are not many projects in the pipeline. However, the
investment program by the Indian government was extended, so there is some hope.”

Is the current financial situation distorting the business of the Trützschler Group? “Not
that much,” Selker explained. “It is less than expected. As a producer in the eurozone, we are
quite happy with the exchange rate, which favors exports.”

The Mainland

And how about China? Will the importance of the Chinese market further increase? “We don’t
expect any further growth in spinning,” Selker said. “Yarn production will not increase that much
because of the very high cotton prices. As a consequence, yarn imports will further increase and
the countries around China will become stronger.

“However, China is moving,” he continued. “State-owned enterprises that are not profitable
will be closed down, and the industry has to think in a more economical way. Cutting-edge
technology will become even more important for textile machinery suppliers: if energy consumption
is not low enough, the producers think about buying cheap local machinery.”

Expectations

Looking to the future, Selker added: “For 2013, we hope that we can keep our sales turnover
like 2012. We increased our sales in the segments of card clothing, man-made fibers and nonwovens.
To keep our position, we must always be the proverbial step ahead to provide even better solutions
for our customers. As I said, card clothing, man-made fibers and nonwovens are doing well, but also
the acquisition of Bastian with its rewinders is doing well

]. And the cooperation with Toyota will open
new markets and opportunities.”

Asahi Kasei To Shutter U.S. Spandex Operation

Asahi Kasei Fibers Corp. — one of nine core businesses operated by Japan-based conglomerate Asahi
Kasei Corp. — has announced it will discontinue spandex production at its U.S. subsidiary, Asahi
Kasei Spandex America Inc., Goose Creek, S.C., effective October 2012. The action, which will
result in the loss of 133 jobs, is part of a restructuring strategy influenced by a global
oversupply of spandex in tandem with high feedstock prices, and by weak market demand in the United
States since the global financial crisis of 2008 and expectations that no major recovery will occur
in the U.S. market in the foreseeable future.

Asahi Kasei Fibers acquired the Goose Creek operation in 2006, when it purchased the
Dorlastan® fibers business, which also includes a spandex manufacturing site in Germany, from
Germany-based Lanxess AG. Asahi Kasei has continued to market spandex from those two facilities
under the Dorlastan brand, and the site in Germany will continue to produce Dorlastan for the
markets it serves.

The company also produces spandex under its Roica™ brand at four facilities in Asia
including sites in Japan, Taiwan, China and Thailand.

With the closing of the Goose Creek facility, only one spandex producer will remain in the
United States and in the region covered by the North American Free Trade Agreement and the Central
America-Dominican Republic Free Trade Agreement. Wichita, Kan.-based Invista produces Lycra®
spandex at facilities in Waynesboro, Va., and in Monterrey, Mexico.

AAFA Applauds Introduction Of GSP Legislation On U.S. Travel Goods From Developing Countries

ARLINGTON, Va. — August 3, 2012 — The American Apparel & Footwear Association (AAFA) today
applauded the introduction of the Generalized System of Preferences Update for Production
Diversification and Trade Enhancement (UPDATE) Act (H.R. 6307), legislation that would make U.S.
imports of travel goods like luggage, backpacks, travel/sports bags, business cases/computer bags,
handbags, and personal leather goods, eligible for duty-benefits under the Generalized System of
Preferences (GSP) program. The GSP UPDATE Act was introduced on August 2, 2012 in the U.S. House of
Representatives by Representative Ander Crenshaw (R-FL) and co-sponsored by Representative Adrian
Smith (R-NE).

“Now into the summer travel season and quickly approaching the back-to-school retail selling
season, now is the perfect time to extend GSP benefits to cover travel goods,” said AAFA President
and CEO Kevin M. Burke. “Whether buying luggage for the family trip or backpacks for
back-to-school, American consumers will benefit from the duty savings created by this bill. At the
same time, the bill will support U.S. workers employed by companies in the U.S. apparel and
footwear industry who produce these product categories by enabling companies to lower prices and
drive sales.”

As introduced, the GSP UPDATE Act would recognize that travel goods are no longer an “import
sensitive” industry by removing the current prohibition that prevents most travel goods from being
eligible for duty-benefits under GSP. Under GSP, developing countries like Cambodia, Thailand, and
the Philippines, will be able to export travel products to the United States duty-free. Under the
GSP UPDATE Act, China and Vietnam are not eligible to participate in the GSP program.

While making U.S. imports of travel goods potentially eligible for duty-benefits under GSP,
the bill continues to protect the remaining domestic manufacturers by 1) excluding from GSP
eligibility certain specific types of travel goods still made in the United States and 2) requiring
the U.S. government to do a review, and request public comment, before implementing any
duty-benefits for travel goods under GSP.

Duties on the lowest-cost travel good can be as high as 17.6 percent. Today, 99 percent of
travel goods sold in the United Sates are imported, meaning that these duties amount to an
unavoidable, hidden, and regressive tax on American consumers.

Background

The Generalized System of Preferences (GSP) is a duty preference program. It provides duty
free access to the U.S. market for a variety of products from developing countries that meet
certain criteria, such as labor rights and intellectual property rights protection. Created by the
Trade Act of 1974, the GSP program has historically been a very popular program and laid a
foundation for the development of longer term U.S. import relationships with developing countries.
The GSP program has experienced some uncertainty because it was subject to short term renewals and
has even been allowed to lapse several times. The program is currently scheduled to expire in July
2013, having been renewed most recently by PL 112-40, which was signed by President Obama on
October 21, 2011.

In 2011, the United States imported over $437 million worth of travel goods from GSP eligible
developing countries. While GSP travel goods accounted for only five percent of total U.S. travel
goods imports in 2011, the relatively low barriers to entry into travel goods manufacturing means
that the addition of travel goods to GSP would provide developing countries significant new export
and job creation opportunities, which is in line with the spirit and the purpose of the 1974
legislation.

Cotton Life Cycle Data Advances Sustainability Metrics, Cotton’s Gains

NEW YORK CITY — August 1, 2012 — Cotton Incorporated, the research and promotion company for
cotton, continues its long-term commitment to advancing sustainability through research and
information dissemination. Its most recent benchmarking tools, Cotton’s Life Cycle Inventory (LCI)
and Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), were used to help complete two key sustainability indicators: the
Field to Market National Report on Agricultural Sustainability; and the Higg Index developed by the
Sustainable Apparel Coalition.

Last year, Cotton Incorporated completed a two-year data-collection and assessment project
that established an up-to-date and accurate global baseline for cotton’s environmental impact. The
holistic approach resulted in the world’s most comprehensive sustainability data set on cotton,
which is intended to better inform key decision-makers in the global textile supply chain as well
as serve as a guide for future research that will lead to even greater sustainability gains moving
forward. This research is proving to be useful in providing a more accurate characterization of
cotton’s improving footprint in both agricultural production and textile processing.

“Sustainability is not a fixed point, but a continuum of measurable improvement,” explains J.
Berrye Worsham, President and CEO of Cotton Incorporated. “As an organization, Cotton Incorporated
recognizes that sharing information and best practices across the supply chain is the best and most
effective means of making and measuring sustainable gains.” Worsham also stresses the importance of
collaboration: “We are proud to be active members and contributors to the work of such
well-respected groups as Field to Market and the Sustainable Apparel Coalition, which share our
values of transparency and vision with respect to sustainability.”

Agricultural production data from Cotton’s Life Cycle Inventory was incorporated into a
recent study by Field to Market, the Keystone Alliance for Sustainable Agriculture. The
organization’s National Report on Agricultural Sustainability revealed that U.S. agriculture (corn,
wheat, soybeans, cotton, rice, and potatoes) demonstrated measurable improvement in sustainability
metrics over the past 30 years. Specifically, the study finds that cotton improved on all measures
of resource efficiency, with decreases in per-pound lint land use (-30%), soil erosion (-68%),
irrigation water applied (-75%), energy use (-36%), and greenhouse gas emissions (-30%).

Output from Cotton’s LCI also helped improve the Materials Sustainability Index module of the
Higg Index, released last week by the Sustainable Apparel Coalition. “As with the Field to Market
report, cotton’s ongoing gains are reflected in the Higg Index, which scores cotton as one of the
top fibers from a raw materials point of view,” says Michele Wallace, Associate Director, Product
Integrity for Cotton Incorporated. 

Wallace stresses that while all fibers have unique sustainability challenges, the textile
processing phase presents a unified opportunity for improvement. “Textile processing has a major
impact on a finished product’s footprint,” says Wallace. “To address this, Cotton Incorporated
focuses a significant amount of research on alternative processes, technical innovations, and the
dissemination of that information to the industry at large.” Wallace cites the “Great Ideas In
Cotton” conference in Hong Kong this past May as an example of the company’s outreach.

The Rupp Report: ITMA Asia + CITME 2012: Don’t Forget The Peripheral Equipment

The reporting about ITMA Asia + CITME is coming close to its end. However, there are a few more
comments and opinions left — first of all, the suppliers of testing and monitoring equipment and
accessories. And here, two companies play an important part in the world of textile machinery:
Switzerland-based Uster Technologies AG and Germany-based Groz-Beckert KG.

Uster Technologies

Today, the name Uster is almost a generic brand for quality measurement and certification
for the textile industry. The company’s testing and monitoring instruments, systems and services
that allow optimization of quality through each individual stage of textile production — from the
raw textile fiber up to the finished fabrics — have set the standards for decades in textile
processing. In the past few months, Uster Technologies was in the news because of a tender offer in
May 2012 from Japan-based Toyota Industries Corp. Today, it is virtually a daughter company of
Toyota. In talking to Uster staff, it is evident that everybody feels very good with the new
owners.

Groz-Beckert

Until 1980, the portfolio of Groz-Beckert was limited to latch and bearded needles for
various textile machines. Since 2000, the production range was extended to include weaving machine
accessories. Today, Groz-Beckert develops and produces a comprehensive range comprising parts for
knitting and weaving machines, felting machines, tufting machine needles, modules, loopers, tufting
knives and reed fingers as well as sewing machine parts. In July 2010, the company opened its
Technology and Development Center (TEZ).



Mission Accomplished


The Rupp Report spoke with Reine Wasner, Uster Technologies’ head of marketing &
business development, and Birte Kleefisch, Groz-Beckert’s senior manager of corporate
communications, about their experiences and thoughts from this ever-so-important event. Kleefisch
mentioned that “the booth in the first two to three days was crowded with people all day long.”

Wasner mentioned that “visitor attendance was not overwhelming, but the quality of the
people was excellent. We were able to discuss concrete business.”

Also for the accessory suppliers, most of the visitors came from China, as well as from
Pakistan and Indonesia. “There was quite a good mix of Asian customers,” said Wasner.

Kleefisch added that “not many Turkish people came to see us.” The overall impression of
both persons about the event was rather positive. “However,” Kleefisch said, “the last ITMA Asia
was a better one, probably because this time, we were badly positioned in the hall.”

Positive Response On Novelties

Both companies introduced products for the first time in Asia at ITMA Asia + CITME, and both
had very encouraging feedback. “We showed the Classimat 5 and the Quantum 3,” said Wasner. “On both
products, we had very good feedback from the visitors.” The Classimat 5 is said to deliver all the
traditional classification standards, while broadening its scope to include outliers. The system
detects and quantifies for the first time outliers for periodic faults, evenness, imperfections and
hairiness, in addition to critical thick and thin places. Wasner mentioned that “especially
important are its powerful foreign matter tools for assessing colored foreign fibers, vegetable
matter and — for the first time — polypropylene content.”

The Quantum 3 yarn clearer combines random sample testing with continuous process
monitoring. Uster reports that the clearer tests every meter of yarn for compliance with particular
quality parameters, and simultaneously detects and removes unwanted faults and contamination. The
new capacitive, optical and foreign matter sensors see virtually everything, in greater detail than
any previous yarn clearer generation. Multiple light sources are used to detect new colored foreign
fibers and to help separate colored foreign fibers from mostly non-disturbing vegetable matter. It
also offers a polypropylene clearing option.

“The feedback on both products was excellent,” Wasner said. “We see a big trend in further
automatization, also in monitoring and texting equipment. Our systems can provide total quality
over the whole production process.”

Groz-Beckert presented some products new to the Asian market as well, including knitting
cylinder and precision parts for production of knitted fabrics in gauge E90; the CylinderMaster for
simple, reliable, safe and fast cylinder changes on single-jersey circular knitting machines,
enabling 85 percent of all cylinders to be changed and removed; and last, but not least, the
PremioBox, a new packaging solution for fine-gauge needles, providing optimal protection, improved
removal and safe needle handling.

“Especially the PremioBox was in the center of attention,” Kleefisch mentioned. “With ever
so much finer needles, the knitters need safe needle handling, and the PremioBox can provide this.
The E90 gauge cylinder also was a big attraction for our customers. The trend in knitting is going
to finer gauges, G80 and even G90, for very sophisticated fabrics.”

Europe Is Still A Must

Of course, the European market is still important for both suppliers: “Yes,” said Wasner,
“Turkey is very important for us. This country mainly produces high-quality yarns.”

“Europe is very important for technical textiles,” Kleefisch added. “In our portfolio, there
are a lot of products for technical textiles.”

On the other hand, Asia is very important. “For us,” said Wasner, “it is about 50/50 with
Europe.” Kleefisch added, “Apparel still holds first place, and these products are mostly produced
in Asia.” China, India, Turkey, Bangladesh and Pakistan are the most important sales markets at the
moment for Uster Technologies and Groz-Beckert.

Is the somewhat shaky economical situation distorting the business? “Well,” said Kleefisch,
“at the end of 2011, we had a little slowdown, but not too much. For 2012, we think that the
markets will remain steady at this level.”

Wasner added: “Some projects are postponed. However, we can help the customer to save money
with our monitoring and testing systems. This is vital in times of volatile raw material prices.”

Positive Outlook

Wasner and Kleefisch are optimistic for 2013: “We are convinced that the markets will
increase slightly in 2013,” Wasner said. “We see rising turnovers in the second half of this year
and hope that this trend will go on. The basic need for textiles is still apparent and will fuel
the business in the future.”

Kleefisch mentioned another point: “The consolidation in the garment-producing markets is
more or less finished; nevertheless, there is a move towards other cheap-labor-cost countries. Yet,
technical textiles will also have increasing importance in Asia.”



To Remain In The Premier League


To keep the position at the top, Wasner is convinced that the future of quality monitoring
is not selling single instruments, but, rather, complete systems. “To produce ongoing quality takes
more than simple components. To have a better quality, it must be even over the whole production
chain.”

And what is Groz-Beckert doing to keep the position? “Education is the key word,” Kleefisch
said. “With our own academy, we can achieve this target. And at the end of the day, we rely on a
partnership with our customers. Only long-lasting faith and mutual friendship will give the needed
results to carry on for both sides.”
