SUESSEN will present innovations at Saigontex 2014

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

FiberGuard BCF is the name of the new system for real-time monitoring of yarn tension in all Neumag BCF production processes. Barmag, the innovation and technology leader for filament spinning systems, presented this innovation of its Neumag product line at ITMA Asia + CITME in Singapore last November. The new BCF yarn tension sensor is compatible with all current Neumag BCF machines and can be easily retrofitted to existing Neumag BCF S8 machines.

“Action helps us change what we do!”

DAY 0 takes place deliberately before PERFORMANCE DAYS begins. It is conceived as a space for reflection, dialogue and active engagement — a moment to pause before the fair, rethink established systems and address sustainability not as a trend, but as a fundamental transformation challenge. Under the guiding metaphor “Turn the Tap Off”, DAY 0 focuses on root causes rather than symptoms, systemic change rather than isolated solutions, and collective responsibility rather than individual silos.

Pets in fashion: functional and sustainable textiles find new market at Intertextile Apparel

China’s pet economy is booming, especially amongst younger generations, and pet apparel – from designer outfits to functional garments – was a RMB 3.5 billion (over USD 500 million) market in 2024, growing more than 20% annually¹. To help exhibitors harness this trend, Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics – Spring Edition 2026 will launch the Pet Boutique, presenting a range of innovative, sustainable materials that prioritise both functionality and comfort for pets.

VAUDE eliminates PFAS from all products

PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are now detectable worldwide – in drinking water, soil and the human body. These so-called “forever chemicals” are considered hazardous to health and potentially carcinogenic, as they do not break down and remain in the environment permanently. Despite these risks, PFAS are still used in a wide range of products. More than 15 years ago, VAUDE made a strategic decision to gradually eliminate PFAS from all product categories.

Lenzing AG to become majority owner of TreeToTextile AB and accelerates industrialization of new fibers

The Lenzing Group is taking another strategic milestone by acquiring a controlling majority in the Swedish innovation company TreeToTextile AB. This step strengthens Lenzing’s position as a leading provider of sustainable, wood‑based specialty fibers and expands its innovation pipeline with a highly scalable, patent‑protected technology platform. The transaction is executed through the issuance of new shares.
