Success at the ITM exhibition in Istanbul

James Heal attended the ITM Texpo Eurasia 2012 Exhibition in Istanbul with their exclusive Turkish agents Aygenteks.

James Heal was one of 1,500 ITM exhibitors from more than 37 countries, with representation at the event from across the industry.

Present for all four days, James Heal exhibited with Aygenteks – their exclusive agents in Turkey who represent other leaders in the textile industry including WIRA, Verivide and Textest, and had two impressive stands at the event. The stand was visited by some of the major test houses in Turkey, including ITS, SGS and STR, and they met with new and existing customers to discuss the latest innovations in testing instruments and test materials.

James Heal displayed a range of their precision instruments including their new tensile tester Titan4 with TestWise software, Martindales 909 and 905, their bursting strength and fatigue tester TruBurst, their digital tear tester Elmatear, and their colour fastness tester Gyrowash. The company also had a large display to highlight their expertise in the manufacture and supply of test materials, including multifibre, crocking cloth, detergents, SM25 abrasive and yellowing kits.

Sales Director Elliot Rich represented James Heal at the exhibition, and was impressed with the event: "James Heal were delighted to be able to be present at ITM Istanbul, to support our local partner and show our new and redesigned products. We were well supported at the event and had good quality interest in our products and services. Turkish customers are some of our most important, and we look forward to ITM 2014".

KARL MAYER presents a textile TEXTRONIC® innovation at ITM 2026

With highly efficient machines and continuous textile innovations, KARL MAYER underscores its role as a reliable partner for discerning top-tier customers. Just in time for ITM 2026 in Istanbul, the industry leader is introducing a true innovation: an eyelash lace with its characteristic fringed look – combined with a previously unattainable 4-way stretch.
