Akey pillar of sustainability is the issue of efficiency. Energy efficiency has long been a main focus. From the fibre to the finished textile product, technologies developed by VDMA member companies ensure top-tier energy and resourceefficiencythroughouttheentire productionprocess.VDMAhasclearly demonstrated the potential for savings through comprehensive analyses of complete production chains – from raw materials to final products.
One compelling example from the field of technical textiles: By using technologies from VDMAmembers,theenergyconsumption involved in producing architectural fabrics (such as woven tarpaulins) can be reduced by more than 25%. The nice thing about it is that saving resources(rawmaterials,energy,water, chemicals, etc.) while maintaining high product
quality is both economically and ecologically beneficial. Another big issue is textile recycling. VDMAand its member companies are dedicated to the responsible use of all resources involved in textile production. They provide the technological foundation for the efficient reuse and recycling of textile raw materials. In alignment with the principles of the circular economy, VDMA members offer solutions that cover the entire textile processing and production chain. Their product and service portfolios include machinery andtechnologiesforrecyclingoftextile production waste and textiles, recycling of caustic soda and waste heat and finally the processing of recycled materials.

“The push for automation, AI-driven production and digitalisation continues to accelerate as manufacturers seek to improve efficiency and reducedependencyonrepetitivetasksfor operatives,”saysTMASSecretaryGeneral TheresePremler-Andersson.“Advanced automation enables predictive maintenance and real-time quality monitoring in fully integrated production systems and our members are already exploiting these technologies to help customers reducedowntime,improveefficiencyand produce more sustainably.”
Single s lier
Under its trademarked slogan ‘Complete Process – One Supplier’, for example, ACG Kinna Automatic (at Hall 6, stand D106 in Singapore) has pioneered the development of complete robotic lines for the production of pillows and duvets for the home furnishings sector – from the handling and opening of filling material and full line fabric feeding to sewing, digital quality control and packing.
Just a few years ago, such lines were seen by manufacturers as something exciting to perhaps consider for the future, but suddenly they have become essential to competing and surviving in today’s fast-moving industry.
“Automation has become a must for a number of reasons,” says ACG Kinna Marketing and Sales ManagerTomasAspensk og.“Product traceability, flexibility and local production, in addition to new trade regulations, are now driving the market and given the challenge of finding skilled operators and constantly increasing costs, manufacturers are looking for simpler systems that will save on resources and boost productivity wherever possible.
“Our modular solutions enable customers to be more flexible and faster in adapting specific parts of a production line to meet new demands, and also to grow over time. There are also many benefits for manufacturers in dealing with only one project leader, contact person, supplier, freight handler and installation team.”

InSingapore,ACGKinnaAutomaticwill introduce the new Hector industrial sewing machine designed for the heavy duty circular and point stitching of filled textile components such as garden cushions, outdoor pillows and mattresses. Hector is already being employed by leading Swedish retailers including IKEAand JYSK in their manufacturing operations.
The Hector's sewing arm is adjustable and can open up to accommodate thicker items under the needle and presser foot. It is available in three versions with sewing arms in lengths of 60, 100 and 120 centimetres.
Elte EyETM
Another TMAS member, Eltex (Hall 2, stand C203) has made an important breakthrough on its EyETM tension monitoring system for the heat setting, tufting, warping and winding sectors, with theadditionofelectromagneticbrakesin combination with the latest advanced sensors.
These enable tension variation to not only be detected, but automatically adjusted in real time during operation, rather than manually changed as previously.
Thecompany'sACT-Runitcanfurther significantly reduce the selvedge yarn waste from the weft insertion systems of rapier weaving machines, while at the same time maintaining equal and steady tension across all pre-winders.
T e Elte ACT-R signi icantly red ces t e selvedge yarn waste ro t e we t insertion syste s o ra ierweaving ac ines
“Our ACT-R is a completely plug and play, standalone system and self synchronizes without any communication with the weaving machine,” explains Eltex Sales Engineer Michél Gamhov. “This is important, because many older weaving machines are still in operation worldwide, and the ACT-R enables instant improvements to be made without upgrading these machines in any way. We have achieved fantastic results for weavers working with recycled yarns who have been amazed at the difference in consistent quality and uninterrupted production that can be achieved.
S E IS TE TI E MAC I ER
“As everyone knows, the less waste you have the more you save in materials, labour, runtime and quality and we can help mills cut losses in many of these areas depending on the challenges they are facing. Many of our sensor-based systems are able to give older textile machines a new life and in Singapore we're looking forward to talking to customers about the problems they face, because we believe there's even more, we can do with our advanced technologies to make their existing machines more efficient.”
Svegea t b larco onents
The colarette machines of Svegea (Hall 6, stand D109) set the standard throughout Asia for the highspeedproductionoftubularapparel components such as cuffs, collars and neck tapes and in Singapore the company will demonstrate its EC 50 and EC 200 with E-Drive II models, in addition to linked cutting systems.
“Our collarette machines are designed for long life-cycledurabilityandenergyefficiency, reducing waste while providing high-quality binding,” says Svegea Managing Director Håkan Steene. “Our customers in Asia are increasingly looking to automation to improve efficiency and achieve cost savings and we address these needs by developing flexible machines that can be adapted to a wide range of customer requirements and combine high performance with user-friendly automation features.
andewiele now- ow
Advanced weaving control is also the bedrock of business for Vandewiele Sweden AB (Hall 2, stand D301e), which supplies weft yarn feeding and tension control units for weaving looms to the majorityoftheleadingweavingmachine manufacturers, as well for retrofitting in working mills around the world and will present its latest X4yarnfeederswithintegratedaccessory displays at ITMA ASIA+ CITME 2024.
X4 feeders are available in three different versions – with an integrated tension display (TED), with integrated active tension control (ATC), or with quick release, which enables weft tension settings to be transferred from one machine to another, enabling a fast start-up the next time the same article is woven. The position of the S-Flex Tensioner is constantly monitored by an internal sensor – even if adjustment is made during power off.
VandewieleSwedenhasrecentlyfurther strengthened its product portfolio with IRO Gaugepart modules which are applied to tufting looms for the carpet industry, to determine the appearance of a carpet in terms of feel and structure. All parts are now available to order from the www iroonline co e-commerce site.
“Our size and flexibility mean that we can offer bespoke customer solutions according to specific requests–somethingthatmanylarger manufacturers have difficulty matching,” says Division Manager Tobias Sternfeldt.
S ray tec nology
Finally, the automated Texcoat G4 finishing system of BWConverting (Hall 8, stand B201) has been a runaway success in the past few years and the company will announce an entirely new, butrelatedtechnologyshortlybeforethe Singapore exhibition.
“TexCoat G4 spray technology was developed in Sweden from our off-set printing business and we initially focused on installing units in Europe and the USA,” explains the company's Vice President of Global Business Development for Textiles Rick Stanford. “In the past two years, however, we have been very active in Asia, with 35 units sold –and many of these customers have been asking for technologies in related areas. We'll be saying more very shortly. ”

Over the next few months, we will come up with solutions that will convince our customers. I am very confident that we are on the right track. Our customers can look forward to our new developments - they will help our customers in their business - and that is the most important thing.
US: What role does innovation play in the company'sstrategy?

Singapore connects the East with the West in the GlobalSouth,especiallyfortheMuslimworld.
Our customers from South-EastAsia can all come here easily and quickly, but also customers from important textile markets such as India, Pakistan and Bangladesh will come, as well as customers from NorthAfrica and the Middle East, especially Turkey.
These are trade routes that we are hardly familiar withinthenorthernhemisphereandthatareoften greatlyunderestimated.
But Singapore is also easy to reach for our many customers from southern China, and we are expecting a lot of interest and visiors from this regionaswell.

While full details will be unveiled at the show, this solution reflects Trützschler'scommitmenttosimplifying operationsandboostingefficiencythrough intelligent technology. Alongside this innovation, we will also showcase our proven next generation card TC 30i. Depending on the raw material, but especially in the field of man-made fibers, the TC 30i achieves up to 40% higher productivity compared to the current benchmark, while maintaining or even improving yarn quality. A sophisticated waste suction system enables the separate collection of different waste types, allowing more than 50% of card waste to be reused in a high-quality manner. The TC 30i also comeswiththeprovenWASTECONTROL system, an easy-to-use and effective assurance against unnecessary fiber loss.
The IDF 3 integrated draw frame complements the TC 30i by enabling a shortened spinning preparationprocessforrotorandairjet applications without compromising on quality. In rotor spinning, the IDF 3 helps to improve yarn quality levels, especially when processing raw materials with high short fiber content. Anew can changing system increases card efficiency by up to 3%. With its advanced measuring devices, more homogenous slivers and a higher yarn quality can be achieved. Overall, the IDF 3 enables a more

TheIndiantextileindustryhasreachedadefining momentwiththeinaugurationoftheworld'sfirst ® commercial-scale SUPRAUNO supercritical CO₂ dyeing machine at Arvind's Ahmedabad facility. This breakthrough has been made possible through a unique three-way collaboration: Arvind Limited, one of India's most respected textile-to-retail conglomerates, H&MGroup,aglobalfashionleadercommitted to sustainability, and Deven Supercriticals, an Indian start-up pioneering cutting-edge supercriticalfluidtechnologies.
® The SUPRAUNO machine, globally patented and developed in India, represents a paradigm shift in fabric dyeing. By replacing water with supercritical CO₂ as the medium, it achieves remarkable sustainability milestones — up to 76% water savings, 67% energy savings, and nearly 90% reduction in chemical usage compared to conventional dyeing methods. This notonlydrasticallyreduceseffluentdischargebut
also redefines how large-scale industrial dyeing can be both commercially viable and environmentallyresponsible.
Speaking on this transformative achievement, Mr. Punit Lalbhai, Vice Chairman, Arvind Ltd., emphasized that this is more than just a technologicaladvancement—itisareaffirmation of India's leadership in sustainable manufacturing. H&M Group highlighted the alignment with its goal of fossil-free, electrified textile production, while Dr. Swapneshu Baser, Founder of Deven Supercriticals, called it a proud moment for Indian innovation reaching globalimpact.

CEMATE strengt ens E re resentation and advocacy or t e E ro ean te tile ac inery ind stry
CEMATEX, the European Committee of Textile Machinery Manufacturers, has reinforced its role as the voice of the EU textile machinery industry by enhancing its presence and engagement with EU institutions and stakeholders.
AccordingtoMrAlexZucchi,Presidentof CEMATEX,theorganisationisnowofficially registered in the EU Transparency Register. He said "With this registration, the association is in a leading position to represent the European textile machinery industry in dialogue with EU legislators and to actively contribute to consultations on upcoming legislative initiatives".
Aspartofthisengagement,CEMATEXhas participated in the EU Sustainable Textiles Transition Pathway, pledging its support for the transition to a more sustainable European textile ecosystem. It has also joined the EU Textiles Ecosystem platform, ensuring stronger connections and visibility within the wider EU textiles community.
As the legislation landscape evolves in support of the upcoming EU textile strategy, CEMATEX is actively monitoring key EU legislative initiatives. Among themaretheEco-DesignRegulation(Textile DelegatedAct),WasteFrameworkDirective implementation across EU member states, Product EnvironmentalFootprintCategoryRules(for apparel), and market surveillance and customs reform, includingthepro posalforacentralmarket surveillance agency.
Trade advocacy and global engage ent
Another important area of CEMATEX's involvement is trade advocacy. It continues to actively represent its members' interests in global trade issues. Currently, it is focused on two key areas: the Indian Omnibus Technical Regulation and EU market surveillance. The Indian Omnibus Technical Regulation foresees compulsory certification by the Bureau of Indian Standards for weaving and embroidery machines and theircomponents.CEMATEXhassubmitteda position paper to the Indian Ministry of Heavy Industries (MHI) and it is actively lobbying for postponement of the regulation. It has participated in the MHI Subcommittee on Textile Machinery and Machine Tools, seeking further clarifications and details.
On the European front, it has coordinated with other EU industry associations, namely CECIMO, Orgalim
and Committee of European Construction Equipment (CECE) to press the European Commission to oppose compulsory certification for CE-marked machinery. It has called on the European Commission to classify this measure as a Technical Barrier to Trade (TBT) at the World Trade Organization plenary meeting in June 2025, demanding its removal.
At the same time, CEMATEX is actively lobbying the European Commission to secure tariff-free access for EU textile machinery exports to the Indian market.
Mar et s rveillance
On market surveillance, CEMATEX has advocated strengthenedenforcementagainstnon-compliant imports. Towards this end, it has developed and circulated a position paper to all 27 EU Member State MarketSurveillanceAuthorities(MSAs)and launched a plan to support MSAs and customs authorities with documentation identifying likely sourcesofnon-complianceinimportedtextile machinery.
AMachine Safety Committee comprising experts fromCEMATEXmembercompaniesisbeing established. The committee will collect evidence of recurring non-compliance. In addition, it is developing brochures for MSAs and customs officers to support their inspections. It has also prepared awareness initiatives targeting customer associations and trade unions regarding the risks associated with noncompliant imports.
