Premiere for Retech at Techtextil Frankfurt

Techtextil 2015 has shown itself to be the undisputed centre of innovation in the field of high-tech fabrics, smart textiles and processing technologies. RETECH AG attended this show for first time and as a textile machine component manufacturer in the field of thermal and mechanical processing of synthetic filaments the company was able to show its products to international customers, where they were met with much interest.

A lot of visitors were delighted by the heated godet rolls for the many sided applications in spinning. They are suitable for highest temperature and speed ranges up to 7000 m / min, with energy saving motors and temperature efficient heating or active cooling concepts, including control units.Also in the centre of interest were the air bearing separator rolls (ABSR), in extended range of dimensions, for all highest demands in terms of high speed and long service life, even in the case of hard usage for high end technical yarns.

Another highlight was the Win-OLT yarn tension sensor for the complete monitoring of DTY and or spinning machines for the improvement of quality in yarn production by means of on line monitoring. The performance range includes the complete system together with the necessary software, service and spare parts, as well as single yarn tension sensors.

The development of innovative, efficient and high quality draw machines built to the customers specification was discussed with several visitors and the modification, conversion and upgrading have also been vital topics. Integration of new technologies becomes essential in order to achieve sustainability in many respects including environmental protection, energy usage in combination with maintenance cost reduction and user-friendly operation.

For Retech it was the right decision to be at Techtextil Frankfurt. During the show, they could meet and discuss with many existing customers and also very important, new, potential customers showed interest in their products. Retech thanks everybody that visited the booth and is looking forward to future partnerships and collaborations.

RETECH showcases high-precision godets for high-performance fiber processing at Techtextil 2026

RETECH designs and manufactures godets and draw frames for heated, ambient and cooled processes, enabling precise heat treatment and consistently high yarn quality for a wide range of polymers and applications, with process temperatures of up to 400 °C for high-performance fibers. The company’s key competence lies in exact and stable temperature and speed control, individually adapted to the specific material and process requirements.

50 years of Swiss precision - Retech highlights latest technology to produce high-quality synthetic fibers

High-quality synthetic fiber production requires uncompromising precision and process stability. Godet rolls play a key role in ensuring exact temperature control and maximum reliability. As a Swiss pioneer in thermal treatment for filament fibers, Retech has been setting benchmarks for five decades – with technologies that make production processes smarter, more efficient, and more sustainable.

Barmag showcases pump solutions for demanding PU applications at PU China 2026

At PU China, taking place November 3–5, 2026, at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition Center in Shanghai, Barmag’s Pumps Division will present high-performance metering solutions for the processing of polyurethane systems (Hall 1, Booth 135). The focus is on high-precision gear metering pumps that enable the exact delivery of PUR components as well as other high-viscosity and reactive media. With their high metering accuracy, they help reduce material consumption, stabilize processes, and ensure consistently high product quality.

ITMA Asia 2026: How Barmag is reshaping the future of man-made fiber production

The textile industry is entering a groundbreaking era. Manufacturers face rising energy prices, growing sustainability demands, increasing labor shortages, and an unprecedented need for flexibility. For a globally active textile industry, where competitiveness is closely linked to production efficiency and cost leadership, this means that technology is no longer merely a means of improving operational processes – it is increasingly becoming a strategic differentiator.

Heberlein reinforces its commitment to the Chinese market

Heberlein, globally recognised as a leading provider of air interlacing and air texturing jets for synthetic filament yarns, is consolidating its success in the Chinese market with its APh- and APe-series for DTY applications. Particularly in the field of Air Covering, Heberlein technologies combine excellent quality with significant savings in compressed-air consumption. A new service hub in Shengze City underlines the company’s long-term commitment in the Chinese market.

HeiQ & Archroma and Lenzing & Armedangels win ITMF International Collaboration Awards 2026

The International Textile Manufacturers Federation (ITMF) has named two industry partnerships as winners of the ITMF International Collaboration Awards 2026. The awards go to collaborations between HeiQ and Archroma as well as Lenzing and Armedangels, highlighting joint approaches to innovation and sustainability across different parts of the textile value chain.

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

For 180 years, TESTEX has developed alongside the textile industry while maintaining the same underlying purpose: creating trust through independent and reliable measurement. 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.

German textile industry and retailers form alliance to shape textile EPR system

Germany’s textile and fashion industry and retail sector have joined forces to establish the “Alliance for Textile Circularity” (Allianz für textile Kreisläufe). Initiated by the German Textile and Fashion Industry Association (Gesamtverband textil+mode) and the German Retail Federation (HDE), the alliance aims to contribute industry expertise to the development of Germany’s future Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) system for textiles and footwear.
