Improved winding performance and package quality are further generated by digitens™, the new technology for tension control during winding.

The SSM TW2-D stands for innovative solutions, rugged technology and application of the essential. Not only enabled an improvement of the thread path, but also the overall simplification of the superior winder. With the electronic yarn laying technology preciflex™, a high flexibility is given to produce a made-to-measure cross wound package as the result. The ergonomic design and enduring technology cuts maintenance and service expenses down to a minimum.

Thereby the TW2-D creates a new dimension for cost effective winding. Combined with the easy adaptation to a variety of yarns, the TW2-D is the winding system for an economically and consistently fulfilling of customer requirements.

“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.

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.
