Mahlo has a lot to do at IndoIntertex 2022

Many visitors stream through the air-conditioned exhibition halls of IndoIntertex in hot and humid Jakarta. IndoIntertex, one of the most influential textile fairs in Southeast Asia, is in full swing. Mahlo with partner agency Agansa Primatama can be found at booth A1-B1. The experts of the exhibition team will give advice on all aspects of straightening technology and process control in textile production.

"Indonesia is one of the ten largest textile producers in the world," says Stephan Kehry, Product Manager for textile applications at Mahlo, "The fact that IndoIntertex is taking place again and that you can find real people and real machines at the fair, as opposed to video chat, is a strong and good signal for the market."

Stephan Kehry's team has its hands full. After a long absence from trade fairs, the rush of visitors is immense. Most of the consultations revolve around solutions for automatic weft straightening, for example with the Orthopac RVMC-15 straightening machine. There is also great demand for process optimization for stenter frames with the Optipac VMC-15 modular process control. But Industry 4.0 topics also come up on the table, which Mahlo covers with software solutions such as mLog, mPilot and the mSmart concept.
