Mahlo will present solutions for current challenges at ITM

When the ITM fair celebrates its comeback from 14 to 18 June, the German machine builder with over 75 years of experience presents its broad portfolio of solutions for the textile industry at booth 1210 B, hall 12.

Measuring and control technology for efficient production

The ITM in Istanbul is the most significant textile technology show in the region, bringing together industry manufacturers and visitors from all over the world. Mahlo participates with its partner Masters Limited, focusing of straightening and process control technologies for the growing Turkish textile market.

For textile finishers in Turkey and all over the world applies the same: In most applications, distorted fabric is one of the biggest problems to be solved. They must be eliminated in order to preserve the full utilisation value of the product. In addition to that, sustainability and saving of resources in production is becoming more and more important. And at the end of the day, production also has to be profitable for the manufacturer. Not an easy task!

“But Mahlo has the means to support textile producers with these challenges”, Areal Sales Manager Adnan Andac says. The systems of the German machine builder ensure product quality as well as production efficiency: “The weft straightener Orthopac RVMC-15 is the epitome for straight goods.” Based on experience reaching back over 75 years, the machine offers the latest technology for correcting distortions and optimising the processes all around the stenter. Optoelectronic scanning with oscillating lens and DSP (digital signal processor) is probably the most sensitive and versatile system on the market.

Mahlo has variants for every textile structure, from heavy and stiff goods such as carpets and denim to sensitive, flexible textiles. The products range from pure sensors for distortion detection to complex, automatic straightening systems, individually configurable and equipped with process control systems.

Ready for Industry 4.0

The new generation of Mahlo straighteners, sensors and control loops is also ready for Industry 4.0. If a customer uses suitable sensor technology and the appropriate networking, he can access the machine from everywhere, provided he has an Internet connection.

With these standards, the generation 15 Mahlo machines are not only optimally equipped for the future. They also help to save costs and raw materials and improve product quality. This in turn results in satisfied customers and ultimately end consumers

Intelligent technologies for sustainable textile production

From October 28 to 31, 2025, the international textile industry will gather at ITMA Asia in Singapore – and Mahlo will be present as part of the "German Pavilion Finishing" with innovative solutions for process optimization. Under the motto “More efficient. More precise. More sustainable.”, the Bavarian family-owned company will present forward-looking technologies for resource-efficient and quality-oriented textile production at booth H7-A103.

Ready for summer: Why textile precision matters in swimwear

As temperatures rise, certain products step into the spotlight that usually spend the rest of the year on the sidelines – swimwear among them. To ensure swimwear not only looks good in summer but also performs reliably, textile precision is essential. Behind every bikini and swimsuit lies a sophisticated production process, where even the smallest errors can have major consequences.

BCI warns against ‘dangerous dilution’ of EU corporate directives

The approval of the European Commission’s Omnibus I proposal by the European Parliament’s Committee on Legal Affairs, accepting controversial changes to key sustainability directives is of great concern. These changes, namely to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), threaten to significantly dilute business reporting and due diligence obligations.

Pioneering open-source framework shows how early innovation drives a just and net-zero fashion future
