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.

New study shows low environmental impact by Cotton made in Africa Organic Cotton from Tanzania

Today, the Aid by Trade Foundation (AbTF) is announcing the results of a comprehensive life-cycle analysis (LCA) for cotton produced in Tanzania under the Cotton made in Africa Organic (CmiA Organic) standard. The study emphasises the small ecological footprint of CmiA Organic verified cotton. This can largely be traced back to the absence of synthetic pesticides, artificial fertilisers, and artificial irrigation. Consequently, CmiA Organic cotton can help the textile industry meet regulatory requirements as well as science-based targets. The results also show that the consequences of climate change threaten the livelihoods of these cotton farmers, even though the type of agriculture they practise barely contributes to climate change.

PERFORMANCE DAYS proves its relevance as the industry’s key meeting point

Held on March 18–19, 2026, PERFORMANCE DAYS once again confirmed its position as a leading international platform for functional textiles. A total of 3.366 trade visitors and around 560 exhibitors gathered in Munich, with the event already kicking off successfully on DAY 0, which received highly positive feedback for its interactive format. Despite challenging conditions caused by the public transport strike in Munich, the event saw strong attendance and a consistently high level of activity across both exhibition days.
