A new business area – specialized weaving machines for wide technical fabrics CREALET is now promoting its new offer in specialized weaving machine manufacture:

CREALET together with IQ-SPS is building specialized weaving machines for wide technical fabrics.

These textiles are used in trade fair construction, stage technology as well as in film and photo studios. Additional applications include woven agro and geo textiles.

In the specialized weaving machine manufacture, CREALET is taking on the electronic warp supply of the warp beams integrated in the weaving machine and is manufacturing additional sub-units for the warp supply from the creel or from additional warp beam stands.

Furthermore, CREALET's sales organization will be made available for global marketing. The first installed machines for these fields of application are operating to the customers' utmost satisfaction. Additional concrete projects are in progress.

CREALET-Engineering CREALET's product range is used on narrow and wide weaving machines as well as on warp knitting machines and can be classified into the following groups:

Electronic let-off and cloth take-up devices
Warp beam device on weaving machines
Warp beam stands for additional warp beams behind weaving and warp knitting machines
Warp feeding devices between the creel and weaving machines
Electronic selvedge yarn spool controls
Tire cord sub-units consisting of the feeding unit and batch winder

CREALET is looking forward to conveying the new impulses at ITMA Milan

MUNICH FABRIC START: Between Attitude and Sensuality

The future begins where we reimagine it. After seasons of restraint, Spring.Summer 27 marks a conscious counter-trend: optimism, sensuality, and creative freedom are replacing pragmatism and neutrality. Physical presence and individuality are regaining importance – as a response to uncertainty, exhaustion, and algorithmic predictability. The overarching theme of PLEASURE stands for fashion as an emotional space, as an expression of attitude and cultural reflection. Colours, surfaces, and materials become vehicles for self-confidence and joie de vivre.

organIQ seek: smart alternative to potassium permanganate

CHT Group announces new technical findings within its organIQ seek platform that significantly advance the transition toward permanganate-free denim bleaching. Through extensive industrial testing and application research, CHT confirms that organIQ seek can now be used with remarkable effectiveness as a substitute for potassium permanganate in spray bleach, while remaining aligned with sustainability expectations and cost realities in the European market. At the COLOMBIATEX in Medellín as well as at the Exintex in Puebla and the Kingpins Show in Amsterdam the CHT Group will present organIQ seek as an alternative to potassium permanganate.

PERFORMANCE DAYS: Focus topic shifts to the beginning of the value chain

Following the last Focus Topic in October 2025, which placed Textile-to-Textile Recycling at its core, PERFORMANCE DAYS continues to drive the conversation around circularity – this time with an expanded and more upstream perspective. The upcoming Focus Topic, “Textile to Textile: The Role of Collectors and Sorters,” presented during the spring edition on March 18–19, will spotlight one of the most essential yet often overlooked components of a functioning circular textile system: the efficient collection and sorting of post-consumer textiles.

Proven performance, optimised costs – the new RE 6 EL

Nowadays textile companies increasingly need to produce small production runs and respond to market changes with instantaneous pattern changes in order to operate profitably – meaning they require machines that offer maximum flexibility, reliability and cost efficiency. KARL MAYER understands the challenges of the market and is launching its new RE 6 EL. The Raschel machine offers the core strengths of the classic RSE 6 EL and essentially the same performance parameters, but has been further cost-optimised largely due to local production advantages. This makes the newcomer an efficiency champion in production, especially when it comes to frequent pattern changes.
