Marzoli showcases roving frame FTM320 at ITM 2024

Marzoli - a Camozzi Group company and leader in the supply of complete spinning lines, components and digitalised solutions that optimise the performance in the spinning process, will be showcasing a range of solutions at the ITM (Hall 7 - Booth 709B) , which are designed to deliver higher levels of performance and are aligned with the standards of the Camozzi Group, whose approach and values the company shares.

The concept of "Textile Engineering" - a key part of the Marzoli identity - encapsulates their goal to produce innovative textiles solutions. They also work closely with their customers, supporting them at every stage in the acquisition and operation cycle: from preliminary studies to plant construction, line start-up, production optimisation, plant management and digitalisation. It is this combination that marks out Marzoli as a unique global partner in the creation of manufacturing solutions and underscores the mission to shape the future of the textile industry, the company states.

At ITM, the focus will be on the new Roving Frame FTM320: The longest machine. The latest and greatest.

The innovative roving frame with a central headstock and independent double side modules works simultaneously, to allow spinners to increase efficiency by up to 5%.

The long-term vision and innovative digitaljourney that Marzoli and Camozzi Group designed several years ago, have made it possible to develop the first A.I. enabled':":' platform dedicated to the textile industry. This, combined with solutions for remote maintenance, advanced software for the integration of management tools and apps for the analysis of cotton waste, allow spinners to benefit from a significant increase in production (up to 5.5%) and efficiency (up to 8%), while at the same time reducing maintenance and failure costs by up to 30%.

At ITM, a section of the booth will be dedicated to nonwoven solutions, providing visitors the chance to learn more about Marzoli's tailored offerings for this sector. Special emphasis will be placed on the range of applications, including wipes, medical-surgical, disposable, and filtration products.

Since 2012, Marzoli has focused research on continuous innovation in the mechanical regeneration of textile fibres for its customers. This event will be, again, anopportunity to highlight the developments made in this pressing and fundamental change in the textile industry.

The Address of innovation and investment in textile technologies: ITM 2026

Sales for ITM 2026, one of the world’s most comprehensive and prestigious exhibitions in textile technologies, are continuing at full steam. The record number of exhibitors and visitors achieved at ITM 2024 once again proved the industry’s confidence and the commercial success of the exhibition; meanwhile, the strong interest shown in ITM 2026, to be held on 9-13 June 2026, has far exceeded expectations.

Fruitful discussions and an attention-grabbing innovation showcase

At this year's ITM, the KARL MAYER GROUP once again demonstrated that it is a reliable partner for its customers, especially in difficult times. At this year's trade fair, the majority of visitors came from Turkey. In particular, the number of trade visitors from North Africa and Central Asia was lower than usual. Nevertheless, the KARL MAYER GROUP trade fair team was able to report successes.

“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.
