India ITME is the most important market event for technology providers serving the Indian textile manufacturing industry. The trade fair will be held for the eleventh time from 8 - 13 December 2022. India is a global leader in textile manufacturing and home to a wide spectrum of players covering the entire textile processing chain.

India ITME 2022 gives the Indian players an opportunity to come together, discover the latest solutions for processing textiles, and meet with their suppliers. Stäubli will be there at Booth C1/ H15, presenting its latest high-end technologies, machinery, and solutions that provide weaving mills with impressive benefits, including energy-efficient solutions and new advancements in Jacquard weaving.

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 at Domotex asia/CHINAFLOOR 2025

At the annual Domotex trade fair in Shanghai, China, the focus in the textile sector is on resilient floorings and the associated manufacturing equipment and techniques. Visit us at our agent booth from May 26-28 to learn more about the ALPHA 580 UNIVERSAL carpet weaving system and its applications.

Stäubli presents innovations for 3D weaving and technical textiles at Techtextil North America

At a time when engineering is constantly creating new and cutting-edge solutions that are lighter than ever and more robust, manufacturers are calling on the expertise of the textile industry for flat or 3D weaving of materials such as fiberglass, carbon or aramid. Visitors can discover Stäubli’s cutting-edge technology for 3D and technical textiles – during Techtextil North America, in the German Pavillon in hall B at booth 3334.

PERFORMANCE DAYS: Focus topic shifts to the beginning of the value chain

Following the last Focus Topic in October 2025, which placed Textile-to-Textile Recycling at its core, PERFORMANCE DAYS continues to drive the conversation around circularity – this time with an expanded and more upstream perspective. The upcoming Focus Topic, “Textile to Textile: The Role of Collectors and Sorters,” presented during the spring edition on March 18–19, will spotlight one of the most essential yet often overlooked components of a functioning circular textile system: the efficient collection and sorting of post-consumer textiles.

Proven performance, optimised costs – the new RE 6 EL

Nowadays textile companies increasingly need to produce small production runs and respond to market changes with instantaneous pattern changes in order to operate profitably – meaning they require machines that offer maximum flexibility, reliability and cost efficiency. KARL MAYER understands the challenges of the market and is launching its new RE 6 EL. The Raschel machine offers the core strengths of the classic RSE 6 EL and essentially the same performance parameters, but has been further cost-optimised largely due to local production advantages. This makes the newcomer an efficiency champion in production, especially when it comes to frequent pattern changes.

European business associations celebrate the signature of the EU-Mercosur FTA
