The ASGLAWO group, with its two companies ASGLAWO technnofibre GmbH and Form- und Technik engineering GmbH, is pleased to present its latest developments in the field of technical textiles and nonwovens at the leading international trade fair Techtextil 2026. The fair, taking place from April 21 to 24, 2026, is the international meeting place for innovations in the textile industry.

ASGLAWO from Saxony will exclusively present its current products and technologies Made in Germany to trade visitors at the joint stand of the Association of the North-East German Textile and Clothing Industry (vti) in Hall 11.1, Stand C39.

Visitors to the ASGLAWO booth can expect to see innovations specifically designed to improve the performance and sustainability of technical textiles in various application areas. Highlights include new material compositions and improved processing techniques, which position ASGLAWO among the leading companies in the German technical textile industry. These new developments underscore the company's commitment to excellence and innovation and demonstrate its dedication to meeting the highest industry standards. This commitment is evidenced, among other things, by certifications such as DIN EN ISO 9001, DIN EN ISO 14001, and IATF 16949.

The products of the ASGLAWO group are used in a wide variety of demanding industries. Heat protection solutions are employed in the automotive, mechanical engineering, and aerospace sectors. Fire protection materials provide safety in the construction industry, public facilities, and transportation. Soundproofing products improve the quality of life and work in the construction, automotive, and industrial plant manufacturing sectors. Furthermore, the reinforcing materials are used in the production of composite materials for the automotive, boatbuilding, and sporting goods industries.

New products include stitched-knit mats in a wide variety of designs. These mats are primarily used as reinforcement materials in fiber-reinforced composite components, for example in boat and yacht construction, as well as in wind turbine rotor blades. Their multiaxial fiber orientation allows for load-optimized construction while maintaining low weight. Furthermore, their properties can be tailored to specific applications through functional finishes such as hydrophobicity or flame retardancy.

Techtextil offers a unique platform to present ASGLAWO's products to an international audience. ASGLAWO invites all international decision-makers, developers, and buyers from all industries to visit us at Techtextil 2026. The Indian sales partner, Sharad Kulkarni, will also be on-site, bringing his specialized expertise to the markets in India, South Korea, and the Middle East.
