#ITMA-Asia + CITME-2016

Reiners + Fürst presents its premium rings and travellers 'Made in Germany' at ITMA Asia 2016

Mr. Benjamin Reiners, Owner and Managing Director of R+F (c) 2016 R+F
At ITMA Asia + CITME 2016 in Shanghai Reiners + Fürst will present new travellers for Siro-Compact with optimized geometry and new surface characteristics. The end-users benefit from low yarn hairiness and longer traveller service life.
Customers in China prefer the latest generation of TURBO rings especially for Compact and Siro yarns. During ITMA in Milan R+F introduced this further milestone in high speed spinning. Already more than 2.5 Mio. units are running successfully in the markets. The enhanced surface allows increasing machine efficiencies by up to 10% – especially when producing yarns of sensitive fibres or with highest spindle speeds. For worsted spinning R+F introduces J-travellers for ring heights of 9.1 and 11.1 mm with enhanced surface for better performance of the spinning process. Different shapes are available for top results in the whole range of worsted spinning. For the processing of fibre glass R+F shows the latest series of horizontal travellers for twisting of fine fibre glass filaments for ring heights of 9.5 and 4.8 mm. Customers especially value the professional service and support R+F is providing particularly for finding solutions of increasingly complex applications. Visitors are invited to stop by at R+F’s booth at ITMA Asia + CITME in Shanghai: Hall H1, Stand B 30

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.
