ITM 2022 opened its doors on June 14, 2022. Stäubli, leading provider of shed forming solutions to the weaving industry, unveiled a world premier right after the trade fair started: The new Stäubli SX PRO Jacquard machine. On this occasion, Stäubli invited one of its long-term customers Boyteks Tekstil, a company among the biggest Turkish Groups operating in the textile business and having already successfully installed the SX PRO Jacquard machine. Mr. Bekir Özgün Aldat, Technical Deputy General Manager - Boyteks Tekstil San. Ve Tic. A.S. assisted the event, presented its weaving mills and the importance of reliable solutions, and the benefits of the new Jacquard machines.

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.

Visitors to the Stäubli booth at ITM could/can observe the new SX PRO Jacquard machine in combination with a Stäubli harness at a demonstration stand and discover many other ingenious solutions to face challenging market and environmental demands, such as the SAFIR S60 automatic drawing-in machine operating a 5 colour warp or the TIEPRO tying machine, the new must have tying solution, as well as the S3000/S3200 high-speed dobby series for frame weaving.

“Action helps us change what we do!”

DAY 0 takes place deliberately before PERFORMANCE DAYS begins. It is conceived as a space for reflection, dialogue and active engagement — a moment to pause before the fair, rethink established systems and address sustainability not as a trend, but as a fundamental transformation challenge. Under the guiding metaphor “Turn the Tap Off”, DAY 0 focuses on root causes rather than symptoms, systemic change rather than isolated solutions, and collective responsibility rather than individual silos.

Pets in fashion: functional and sustainable textiles find new market at Intertextile Apparel

To help exhibitors harness this trend, Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics – Spring Edition 2026 will launch the Pet Boutique, presenting a range of innovative, sustainable materials that prioritise both functionality and comfort for pets.

VAUDE eliminates PFAS from all products

PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are now detectable worldwide – in drinking water, soil and the human body. These so-called “forever chemicals” are considered hazardous to health and potentially carcinogenic, as they do not break down and remain in the environment permanently. Despite these risks, PFAS are still used in a wide range of products. More than 15 years ago, VAUDE made a strategic decision to gradually eliminate PFAS from all product categories.
