A qualified and reliable partner for innovative solutions, CREALET (Hall 1, Booth H105) will present itself at this year's ITMA under the motto “We Drive You to Success” as a specialist for warp feeding.

CREALET's reliable products and innovative solutions are employed in warp let-off and cloth takeup systems as well as in specialized weaving machine manufacture. With these products, customers worldwide are securing a decisive edge in tough competition: from perfectly tailored “Upgrade Packages” for weaving and warp knitting machines to comprehensive conversions of weaving machines for specific market requirements.

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

“We clearly see that reliability, flexibility, service and total cost of ownership are becoming increasingly important again.”

The nonwovens industry continues to face a challenging market environment. Nevertheless, AUTEFA Solutions reports successful projects, new line sales and growing demand for energy-efficient and flexible solutions. In this interview, André Imhof of AUTEFA Solutions talks about competitiveness against Chinese suppliers, new service and recycling concepts, the growing importance of application development and the opportunities created by countercyclical investments.

“Needle punching technology is more universal and sustainable than ever!”

Needle punching technology was long regarded as a rather traditional and comparatively slow technology within the nonwovens industry. In this interview, Johann Philipp Dilo explains why needle punching is more relevant than ever today – ranging from energy efficiency and resource conservation to hygiene applications, new machine concepts and design-oriented nonwoven solutions.

Textile climate control system in workwear – exhibition at the 2026 SME Innovation Day!

Conventional protective workwear often reaches its limits during strenuous physical activity. In particular, the transport of sweat and excess body heat poses a problem. The German Institutes of Textile and Fiber Research (DITF) conducted research on flow-optimized, air-conducting textile structures that enable targeted climate control directly on the body. These structures can be integrated straight into protective work garments. The textile climate control system supports the body’s natural thermoregulation. This contributes to improved workplace safety and comfort.

PET spunbond from China – EDANA welcomes imposition of provisional anti-dumping measures

On 13 May 2026, after eight months of investigation, the European Commission imposed provisional anti-dumping duties of 45.6-50.0% on imports of PET spunbond from China. EDANA welcomes this expression of the Commission’s clear determination to protect EU industries from the unfair trade practices of Chinese producers.
