Not only the new location makes the upcoming ITMA ASIA/CITME especially important: it is also a chance for the textile and textile machinery industries to take stock of current trends and explore new opportunities.
ITEMA Weaving will participate with a strong presence, with its renowned brands Somet, Vamatex, Sulzer Textil, ITEMA Shanghai, Fimtextile, OMV and Actex, and its complete range of machines, accessories and services.
ITEMA Weaving is aware of its key role as a partner to the textile industry. This is an incentive to develop innovative technological and economic solutions that create new business opportunities and help ensure maximum profitability for weavers.
In Shanghai, visitors will be able to see the latest results of ITEMA Weaving’s strong and ongoing R&D commitment, which takes advantage of the synergies generated by pooling experience within the group. Many major innovations and further developments on rapier, air-jet and projectile weaving ma-chines can be found and evaluated at the ITEMA Weaving booth (Hall 6, Booth A05).
Exhibition programme:
ITEMA Weaving’s product range can satisfy every production requirement, from commodity to high-fashion and industrial fabrics. Nine weaving machines representing the various brands will be on show.
The highlight will be the EK808, the new ITEMA Shanghai rapier weaving machine: it is the result of experience gained and synergies created within the Euro-Chinese organizations of the com-pany. A further development of the famous K88, the EK808 features improved performance, greater versatility and proven reliability, thanks to advanced solutions adopted from the high-end machines.
Maximum adaptability to different production requirements, including high productivity, is the main strength of the L88. This air-jet weaving machine, recently launched on the Chinese market, is now ready for its debut on other Asian markets and overseas.
For this reason the L88 will be shown weaving two different styles: one a blended commodity style, the other a high-quality cotton fabric. Both are remarkable with regard to machine performance and the outstanding fabric quality.
The ever-higher quality criteria for high-end machinery are satisfied by the top-class weaving ma-chines with the three different technologies (rapier, air-jet and projectile) that only ITEMA Weaving can offer.
The Vamatex Silver HS confirms its position as the benchmark in cotton weaving, particularly for high-class shirting fabrics. The terry version Dynaterry will demonstrate its excellence in combining high productivity and top quality weaving a bathmat fabric.
The Mythos Etec air-jet weaving machine will be weaving a very demanding cotton style with great precision and at top speed, confirming the Somet brand’s reputation on the global market.
In the industrial fabric sector, the Sulzer Textil P7300HP is still the most sought-after and best-appreciated weaving machine. The model presented at ITMA ASIA/CITME, with a weaving width of 540 cm, will once again demonstrate the great potential of this ageless machine, especially in the widest width.
At the Bonas booth, the Sulzer Textil G6500F terry rapier weaving machine will be on show for the first time in Asia. The G6500F is the preferred machine for high-end terry weaving applications.
