Stäubli is a leading supplier of Jacquard technology around the world. Indian mills rely on Stäubli solutions for weaving all sorts of Jacquard fabrics, from home textiles to technical fabrics, narrow to large-format applications, and apparel fabrics, particularly for saris. In fact, it’s difficult to imagine a Jacquard weaving mill without a solution by Stäubli. Stäubli Jacquard machines have become a central element in mills that demand high productivity and top quality because they deliver a broad range of decisive benefits: top energy efficiency, the highest production speeds, minimum vibration thanks to optimally balanced kinematics, the TC8 controller, NOEMI electronics architecture for unmatched reliability in data transmission, and the recently launched MX PRO modules that provide energy savings and reliable hook selection for all kinds of woven fabrics. Visitors to the Stäubli booth are welcome to discover the latest in Jacquard technology and learn all about solutions that will take them a step further towards sustainable production.

High-speed frame-weaving solutions with low-maintenance transmissions

As the link between the shed formation solution and the weaving machine, the transmission is a vital link in any frame-weaving installation. Transmissions must reliably handle a great many loads and forces. Committed to continuous improvement, Stäubli has further developed its range of transmissions, now offering the e32/33 for low-mounted dobbies & cam motions and the de82/83 for top-mounted dobbies. With sealed and patterned bearings, these new transmissions require hardly any maintenance. They enhance the performance of the overall installation, be it weaving machines operating with dobbies like the S3000 / S3200 electronic rotary dobby series or with cam motions like the S1792. Visitors to the Stäubli booth will learn about the latest frame-weaving solutions and get a very good idea of the operational performance and running speeds.

SX PRO Jacquard machine - a solution for higher power efficiency and lower energy consumption in every Jacquard weaving mill. This new model among the broad range of Stäubli Jacquard weaving solutions will seduce many mills with its incorporated proven technology of the predecessor Stäubli Jacquard machines as well as several innovations to reduce energy consumption: low-friction design of the MX PRO module, power supply fully integrated into the machine itself, and a new ventilation system with optimized temperature monitoring. Equipped with up to 2,688 hooks, the SX PRO Jacquard machine is perfectly adapted to the needs of the Turkish market, where matress ticking, terry cloth, apparel fabrics and upholstery fabrics are produced.

Stäubli warp-tying solutions for any kind of yarn, from silk to cotton, wool and PP tape

Warp tying is a crucial process in most weaving mills. Stäubli is presenting its TOPMATIC warp-tying machine for very fine yarns and its latest warp-tying solution, the TIEPRO tying machine featuring a completely new yarn separation principle with cones. Introduced in 2019, the TIEPRO has already convinced numerous warp tying specialists with its ease in use and the fact that it requires neither oil bath, nor spare needles which results in continuous availability in the mill. It offers easy start-up by automated docking to the warp and processing of the warp to be knotted. The screen guides the operator, so new staff can easily learn how to run the machine. A standalone advantage of the TIEPRO tying machine is the exclusive auto-reverse function: If a double end is detected, the machine automatically reverses and redoes that yarn separation step. This process takes place instantaneously and before the yarn is cut – a unique outstanding feature that supports quality fabric weaving.

Stäubli showcases advanced weaving technologies at ITMA Asia Singapore 2025

At ITMA Asia 2025 in Singapore, Stäubli will showcase its latest innovations in weaving technology. After several years, the exhibition returns to Singapore — a strategic hub that provides easy access to key textile markets across Southeast Asia. Taking place from 28 to 31 October 2025, this year’s edition focuses on green technologies that promote sustainable development across the textile industry.

New study shows low environmental impact by Cotton made in Africa Organic Cotton from Tanzania

Today, the Aid by Trade Foundation (AbTF) is announcing the results of a comprehensive life-cycle analysis (LCA) for cotton produced in Tanzania under the Cotton made in Africa Organic (CmiA Organic) standard. The study emphasises the small ecological footprint of CmiA Organic verified cotton. This can largely be traced back to the absence of synthetic pesticides, artificial fertilisers, and artificial irrigation. Consequently, CmiA Organic cotton can help the textile industry meet regulatory requirements as well as science-based targets. The results also show that the consequences of climate change threaten the livelihoods of these cotton farmers, even though the type of agriculture they practise barely contributes to climate change.

PERFORMANCE DAYS proves its relevance as the industry’s key meeting point

Held on March 18–19, 2026, PERFORMANCE DAYS once again confirmed its position as a leading international platform for functional textiles. A total of 3.366 trade visitors and around 560 exhibitors gathered in Munich, with the event already kicking off successfully on DAY 0, which received highly positive feedback for its interactive format. Despite challenging conditions caused by the public transport strike in Munich, the event saw strong attendance and a consistently high level of activity across both exhibition days.
