CSM6

New generation vertical Brushing Machine with brand new technologies applied: Moving parts and Free action.

Thanks to these two features customers will solve the wing-gap problem and be able to obtain different brush effects on the same fabric.

DECOFAST 3.5

The evolution of the continuous decatizing process under pressure for finishing Polyester-Viscose, Polyester-Cotton, Wool & Wool Blend and Synthetics Blends, knitted and woven fabrics adds value to the whole finishing process. Sperotto Rimar Decofast 3.5, with already almost 140 units installed worldwide, is the answer to the actual market demand of growth through value.

HEAT RECOVERY SYSTEM

Another product to be exhibited at the fair is Electrostatic Filter and Heat Recovery System. The unit is produced to heat the environment in the cabins and to save energy taking advantage of the hot air coming from exhaust shafts of Ram machines working at very high temperature. RAM-

RAM-X series stenter frames offers maximum operating efficiency for the best possible quality results with minimum energy consumption for treatment of textile products. The new reinforced chain and rail system is the benchmark for heavy weight fabrics such as knitted, woven, nonwovens, denim and technical textiles applications.

Thanks to the modular and compact machine design, RAM-X is easy to ship and needs less maintenance. RCM-D

Suitable for all kinds of natural and synthetic woven and knitted fabrics, RCM-D guarantees raising flexibility.

Drums and working rollers can be operated in different rotation directions and pile and counter pile raising rollers work at independently adjustable speed. Double drum raising machine alternatively consists of 24 or 28 working rollers.

STM-X

New STM-X stainless steel improved in terms of corrosion-oxidation resistance and makes the machine lifetime longer. Less maintenance is required.

Patented storage chain automatically reduces the number of sticks and adjustable stick distance solves the rubbing issue with sensitive fabrics, especially digitally printed fabrics.

As the must-attend event for the composites industry, JEC World will offer an unprecedented program, blending conferences, markets insights, technical sessions, awards, and above all, a unique experience and invaluable connections.

Beyond the wardrobe – innovative cotton takes the spotlight

Cotton can do more – a lot more. Cutting-edge textiles and high-tech products made from 100% cotton prove just how powerfully performance and sustainability can come together. That very surge of innovation is front and centre at the 38th Bremen Cotton Conference, taking place March 25–27, 2026, at Bremen’s Parliament on the historic market square – culminating in a bold and dedicated closing session on Friday. In the spotlight: performance upgrades for pure cotton, smart strategies for circular textile waste solutions, and pioneering concepts for demanding technical applications. From natural fibre–reinforced composites to highly effective flame-retardant solutions, cotton steps out of the closet and shows the future potential woven into every fibre.

Keeping print inclusive: Empowering women in the print industry

Across all industries, cultivating a diverse and inclusive workplace is increasingly recognised as valuable and essential to long-term success. However, despite the print industry’s significant advancements in technology and innovation, visible representation of women remains limited. As the sector grapples with low recruitment, it’s important to challenge outdated perceptions. Creating real change, however, requires collective effort - no single company can do it alone.
