SUESSEN EliTe®Compact Spinning System (c) 2014 SUESSEN

At Saigontex 2014 which will take place in Ho-Chi-Minh City (Vietnam) at 10th - 13th April SUESSEN (Hall 6 / Booth 6B - 15 & 17) exhibits together with the local Agent Corvet holding AG. SUESSEN has defined highest goals for the exhibition. The company wants to demonstrate their leadership in compact ring spinning and open-end rotor spinning technology.

Show highlights of SUESSEN will be the EliTe®CompactSet V5, the HP-GX 3010 top weighting arm, the ACP quality package with new PINSpacer NT and the EliVAC-CDS vacuum system. Also important will be their Premium Parts - spinning components and spare parts.

Besides this technolocial demonstration the company wants to explain to their customers the many benefits they provide in terms of improved technology and productivity and how impressive return on investments can be achieved by the acquisition of modernization packages.

Rainer Thum, Head Technical Documentation, says: "We place the Saigontex 2014 exhibition under the slogan '... market oriented solutions' demonstrating our competence in handling and processing natural and man-made-fibres within the ring- and rotor spinning fibre formation process. At SUESSEN, we feel that we are truly able to differentiate our products from those of the competition."

Since its foundation in 1920, Suessen has been of great value for the spinning industry by an immeasurable amount of innovations and developments with lasting effect and influence on the history of spinning. Some historic developments are the TwinDisc for OpenEnd-Rotor SpinBoxes, the SpinBoxes SE-Series for Autocoro Rotor Spinning Machines SE 7 – SE 10, the HP Drafting Systems for ring spinning and roving machines and the EliTe®Compact Spinning System. Worldwide SUESSEN has sold over 6.500.000 units EliTe®Compact Spindles.

Thum again: "We make considerable investments in continuous R&D, combined with applied research that is directly carried out at our customers’ mills. This ensures that we are able to further develop our technical and technological components in both an uncompromising and resolute manner. In particular, we focus on universal applicability, improved yarn quality, increased service life, reduced maintenance and proven reliability in industrial application."

EliVAC CDS - Central Duct Solution The central suction duct is located on top of the ring spinning machine, the vacuum is generated by one motor with filter box. The main advantages are:

Easy and fast installation
No rotating drive shafts, pulleys, belts, bearings…
No individual fans for groups of EliTubes
Less energy consumption by approx. 20%
Less maintenance required
Fewer spare parts required
The yarn quality remains unchanged

ACP Quality Package with new PINSpacer NT

The Active Cradle with the PINSpacer NT improves the drafting process by an enhanced interfiber friction in the main draft zone. The Active Cradle with flexible leading edge and optimised pin position:

improves the values of the most important yarn parameters and
is suitable for all popular top weighting arms

High-performance yarns for tomorrow's mobility

At this year's Techtextil in Frankfurt (April 21–24), Barmag will be presenting comprehensive solutions for the production of industrial filament yarns at the VDMA joint stand (Hall 12, C56). The focus will be on applications that ensure greater safety, durability, and efficiency in automotive engineering.

Rieter advances strategic repositioning amid market volatility

Rieter successfully completed the acquisition of Barmag on February 2, 2026, and reached an important milestone in the company’s repositioning. Barmag will be integrated into the Rieter Group as the “Man-Made Fiber” Division. With this strategically transformative acquisition, Rieter is expanding its core business beyond the short-staple fiber business in a targeted way. This positions Rieter as the global market leader along the entire value chain for natural and man-made fibers. In addition, as a complete systems supplier, Rieter is further strengthening its technological leadership in the areas of automation and digitization.

Measure and control the fiber – optimize yarn quality

Producing consistent yarn quality is an everyday challenge – and a very difficult one. Detailed knowledge and understanding of the fiber raw material is absolutely critical to achieving the best possible quality in the yarn. To help spinners, Uster experts have put together guidelines for avoiding yarn irregularity claims, in a special edition of the Uster News Bulletin.

JEC World 2026 returns with an unprecedented content program

Recognized worldwide as the leading trade exhibition for composite materials and their applications, JEC World returns on March 10-12, 2026, at Paris Nord Villepinte as the most ambitious edition to date, in line with its motto “Pushing the limits”. As the must-attend event for the composites industry, JEC World will offer an unprecedented program, blending conferences, markets insights, technical sessions, awards, and above all, a unique experience and invaluable connections.

Beyond the wardrobe – innovative cotton takes the spotlight

Cotton can do more – a lot more. Cutting-edge textiles and high-tech products made from 100% cotton prove just how powerfully performance and sustainability can come together. That very surge of innovation is front and centre at the 38th Bremen Cotton Conference, taking place March 25–27, 2026, at Bremen’s Parliament on the historic market square – culminating in a bold and dedicated closing session on Friday. In the spotlight: performance upgrades for pure cotton, smart strategies for circular textile waste solutions, and pioneering concepts for demanding technical applications. From natural fibre–reinforced composites to highly effective flame-retardant solutions, cotton steps out of the closet and shows the future potential woven into every fibre.

Keeping print inclusive: Empowering women in the print industry

Across all industries, cultivating a diverse and inclusive workplace is increasingly recognised as valuable and essential to long-term success. However, despite the print industry’s significant advancements in technology and innovation, visible representation of women remains limited. As the sector grapples with low recruitment, it’s important to challenge outdated perceptions. Creating real change, however, requires collective effort - no single company can do it alone.
