Techtextil is the leading international trade fair for technical textiles and nonwovens. This year, it will again draw large numbers of industry experts to Frankfurt from 21 to 24 June 2022. As a regular participant, Saurer Twisting Solutions is delighted to be welcoming customers and experts from all over the world to its Booth D77 in Hall 12. The focus is the two-for-one twisting machine TechnoCorder TC2 with brilliant inno- vations and valuable customer benefits.

The Saurer TechnoCorder TC2 is a high-performance machine for twisting single and multiple yarns from a multitude of supply materials in a very wide range of count materials. The further development of the TC2 represents three decisive innovations and offers Saurer customers significant competitive advantages.

PreciWinding: just put more on it

With the newly developed take-up area from Saurer, twist packages with precision winding can be produced on the TechnoCorder TC2 Plus in an outstanding quality. With their compact shape, high density and an exact edge structure, the packages demonstrate better unwinding behaviour. The reduced handling effort and the re- sulting increased productivity are easily noticed by Saurer’s customers. In addition, transport costs can be reduced by increasing the package density. This is an eco- nomic advantage, especially in the current environment.

Running smoothly with the oiling device from Saurer

The responsible use of resources is also of particular importance to Saurer‘s custom- ers. For the recycling of big bags, for example, unmixed materials are required also with regard to the sewing thread. For finishing the twisted PP yarn, Saurer offers an oiling device directly after the twisting process. This new option sustainably increases the benefits for Saurer customers.

Maximum quality is indispensable

Technical textiles are rightly expected to meet the highest standards, because they must be extremely resilient and guarantee best possible safety. Online monitoring of the quality parameters with our newly developed quality sensor ensures the required quality.

The Saurer exhibition team is looking forward to welcoming customers and visitors at the Techtextil 2022 and to informing them about the advantages of the TechnoCorder TC2 in person.

“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.

Pets in fashion: functional and sustainable textiles find new market at Intertextile Apparel

China’s pet economy is booming, especially amongst younger generations, and pet apparel – from designer outfits to functional garments – was a RMB 3.5 billion (over USD 500 million) market in 2024, growing more than 20% annually¹. To help exhibitors harness this trend, Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics – Spring Edition 2026 will launch the Pet Boutique, presenting a range of innovative, sustainable materials that prioritise both functionality and comfort for pets.

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.

Lenzing AG to become majority owner of TreeToTextile AB and accelerates industrialization of new fibers

The Lenzing Group is taking another strategic milestone by acquiring a controlling majority in the Swedish innovation company TreeToTextile AB. This step strengthens Lenzing’s position as a leading provider of sustainable, wood‑based specialty fibers and expands its innovation pipeline with a highly scalable, patent‑protected technology platform. The transaction is executed through the issuance of new shares.
