Key fringe events to further promote industry evolution

Across the three-day fair, leading experts from a range of enterprises and institutes will bolster innovation and sustainability exchange at the fair’s fringe programme. As part of Messe Frankfurt’s Texpertise Network, Cinte Techtextil China promotes the textile industry’s eco-transition, and at this edition will launch its Sustainability Guided Tours to support green exhibitors. There will be two separate tours, with the first focusing on Mobiltech on Day 1 and the second on other highlighted exhibitors on Day 2. External sustainability expert Mr Karl Borgschulze will host both, sharing his knowledge and facilitating the building of meaningful connections.

Other highlighted events include:

+ Panel discussion – Innovation as a Driver for Sustainability: Managing Complex Requirements in the Global Textile Industry (Hall E1 – G13)

+ AiDLab presentation (Hall E1 – G13) – A discussion on how AI can automate the inspection process of conventional textile, apparel and personal hygiene product manufacturing process

Finally, on Day 3, there will also be a press conference for moist toilet tissues hosted by CNITA, and co-organised by Henan Yixiang Hygiene Technology (Deeyeo) and the domestic TECHNICAL TEXTILES magazine. As an innovative product with an application scope different from ordinary wet wipes, a more updated set of standards is needed to meet moist toilet wet tissues’ performance requirements and to improve the user experience. The event aims to promote the implementation of these standards, foster improved quality and technological innovation amongst manufacturers, and better protect consumers’ interests. Improved standards are conducive to the sub-sector’s development towards the high-end market and increasing the international competitiveness of Chinese products.

The Sandler Group has presented its financial figures for the past fiscal year (01/01/2025-12/31/2025). Like previous years, the year 2025 was also marked by industry-wide structural challenges and geopolitical uncertainties. Turnover was virtually stable at EUR 321 million (2024: EUR 326 million).

The family-owned company, which was founded in 1879 and has been run by the fifth generation since August 2025, continues to invest millions in its Schwarzenbach site despite the high production costs in Germany. As part of the long-term corporate strategy, the management team is focusing on strict cost management, further development of the product portfolio, and greater efficiency in production and administrative processes. The company does not expect a market recovery in 2026 and 2027.
