Industry experts and innovative solutions from Trützschler Group will be available for visitors at the ITM 2022 trade fair in Istanbul from June 14-18. At the interactive exhibition booth 308 A (Hall 3), the Trützschler team will present the state-of-the-art sustainable technologies for the textiles industry – including all business areas: Spinning, Card Clothing, Nonwovens and Man-Made Fibers.

Sustainability and automation

Trützschler is driven by its vision of smart and sustainable solutions. Visitors to ITM 2022 will experience exactly how Trützschler brings this vision to life with its technologies. With regard to spinning preparation the booth will feature the new and easy-to-use combing machine, TCO 21, which maximizes productivity and automation to provide excellent process efficiency and yarn quality. Based on various graphics and animations, guests get the latest of the pre-cleaner CL-X and the intelligent card TC 19i, which utilize advanced air technology and contribute to more energy-efficient spinning mills. Visitors will also get a chance to see and touch card slivers made from recycled materials at the booth. They can then talk to Trützschler experts about the specially designed recycling card, TC 19i for Recycling. It empowers customers to achieve highest possible quality when carding secondary fibers from torn waste through continuous self-optimization.

Models and samples will also showcase the unique range of wires for card clothing, including solutions for recycling applications. Trützschler Man-Made Fibers will present news about all variations of the OPTIMA platform for Bulk Continuous Filament (BCF) carpet yarn manufacturing. Whether BCF standard qualities, low dpf, high-count or tricolor yarns – OPTIMA delivers highest productivity and yarn quality. Further, the booth will offer touchscreen movies that share interactive information about the Trützschler technologies for nonwovens – with a special focus on the efficient cotton nonwoven lines as well as the proven carded/pulp technology. Both concepts allow for manufacturing eco-friendly wipes from renewable resources, for example pulp and re-generated cellulose fibers, such as viscose and lyocell. Moreover, Trützschler Nonwovens will introduce its new digital solution, T-ONE, which enables the customers to keep an eye on the quality of their products as well as their line performances.

Trützschler’s latest spinning and card clothing innovations at CAITME 2026

From September 8 to 10, 2026, Trützschler will present its latest innovations in spinning and card clothing for state-of-the-art fiber processing at CAITME in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Visitors are invited to meet the experts at Pavilion 2, Booth D50 and explore solutions designed to increase productivity, streamline processes, and ensure consistently high yarn quality. Key topics include the next-generation card TC 30i, the integrated draw frame IDF 3, the high-performance comber TCO 21XL as well as Trützschler Card Clothing’s new flat top series STEELTOP®.

Pre-Cleaner CL-X: Proven in cotton cleaning – creating value beyond the spinning mill

Since its market launch, the CL-X has firmly established itself in blowroom lines worldwide. Hundreds of installations confirm its ability to deliver superior cleaning efficiency, lower waste, higher productivity and significant energy savings. Now, new customer applications show that the CL-X not only continues to excel in spinning preparation – it is also entering a completely new field of application: ginning.

STEELTOP®: A new benchmark in flat tops for spinning preparation

Modern carding generations achieve higher production performance, placing significantly greater stress on flat tops. Higher cylinder speeds and increased fiber density, combined with tighter carding gaps, create more demanding operating conditions. At the same time, poorer raw material quality and the increased use of recycled materials further intensify these challenges. With STEELTOP®, Trützschler introduces a new full steel flat top series developed for these demanding modern carding processes.

Ibrahim Fibres and Trützschler: A strong partnership enters its next phase with the TC 30Si

For more than two decades, Ibrahim Fibres and Trützschler have grown side by side, driven by a shared ambition to continuously improve spinning performance, strengthen technology leadership and set new benchmarks in the textile industry. Today, Ibrahim Fibres is a leading yarn and polyester staple fiber manufacturer in Pakistan. The company operates the largest number of Trützschler cards in the country, with more than 200 machines running across its mills in Faisalabad, and plays an important role in one of Asia’s largest textile industries.

180 years of TESTEX: From Zurich silk testing to global certification

Founded in Zurich in 1846 as the Zurich Silk Conditioning Institute, TESTEX has grown from a local institution serving the silk trade into an international Swiss testing and certification institute for textiles and leather.

Moving Advanced Recycling from Innovation to Implementation

The Advanced Recycling Conference 2026 explores technologies, markets, financing and scale-up of innovative recycling solutions for waste streams including mixed plastic waste, textiles and PVC. Europe’s chemical and materials sector faces growing pressure to close carbon loops, strengthen raw-material safety and resilience and meet increasingly ambitious EU recycling targets. Against this backdrop, the Advanced Recycling Conference (ARC) will bring together industry leaders, technology providers, researchers, innovators and policy-makers on 17–18 November 2026 in Cologne, Germany.
