ShanghaiTex 2009 sets textile business in motion

Supported by international exhibitors, Chinese textile authorities and influential Chinese textile players, ShanghaiTex 2009 will open its doors at Shanghai New International Expo Center in Pudong, Shanghai, on June 12-15

The 14th International Exhibition on Textile Industry (ShanghaiTex 2009) has gained great support from exhibitors and the textile industry. A number of textile builders will make use of ShanghaiTex 2009 as their most important platform for

market promotion this year.It is expected that total exhibition area will reach 100,000

square meters, exhibitors from 17 countries and regions, including France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Netherlands, Turkey, Austria, Denmark, USA, Japan, Korea, India, Singapore, Iran, PR China, Hong Kong SAR and Taiwan province will participate.

The phenomenal scale of ShanghaiTex 2009 made it the world’s largest professional textile machinery exhibition in 2009, and it is the choice for local and overseas textile manufacturers to source for the latest machinery and technologies.

A must-visit event

Key buyers enterprises, such as Shanshan Group, Ruyi Group and Luthai Textile have confirmed to visit ShanghaiTex 2009, according to the organizer, Adsale Exhibition Services.

The exhibition has also gained generous support from 16 provinces in China, including Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Fujian, Anhui, Hunan, Sichuan, Jiangxi, Heilongjiang, Henan, Guangdong, Shandong, Guizhou, Shanxi, Xinjiang, Yunnan and Hubei.

Representatives of international retailers and brands, including H & M and Columbia Sportswear, also confirmed their attendance in the ShanghaiTex 2009 exhibition and described the show as a must-visit event. Feng Lin, Quality Control Manager of Columbia Sportswear in Shanghai and his colleagues take ShanghaiTex seriously by pre-registering early, says the organizer.

Overseas trade associations such as the Indian Textile Association, the Indonesian Textile Association and the All Pakistan Mills Association also planned to organize delegations to visit the ShanghaiTex 2009 exhibition.

Despite the presence of the global economic challenge, China’s textile industry maintains its competitive edge and the government continues to support the industry with increased export tax rebates for textile products and apparel.

The Chinese textile industry is expected to grow stronger, while capable enterprises are taking the opportunity to expand their market share through advanced technology and product upgrade.

At this year’s ShanghaiTex, more professional services will be organized for buyers and exhibitors. A “Buying Guide Zone” will be set up onsite to provide guiding services to buyers according to their sourcing needs.

The “2009 China Textile Industry Summit” will be held concurrently with ShanghaiTex 2009 to provide value-added services to exhibitors and visitors.

ShanghaiTex 2009 is sponsored by Shanghai Textile Holding (Group) Corporation, China Council for the Promotion of International Trade Shanghai Sub-council, China Chamber of International Commerce Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, and organized by Shanghai International Exhibition Co Ltd, Shanghai Textile Technology Service & Exhibition Center and Adsale Exhibition Services Ltd.

such as cotton, polyester, P/C blends, silk, polyamide, wool, polyester-wool and polyester-viscose blends with different printing methods, i.e. direct and discharge printing.

Benninger W3 C05

Benninger offers solutions for important textile finishing processes and specializes in the continuous open-width treatment of fabrics and interlaced yarns.

With innovative process systems, the company increases efficiency and therefore provides customers with significant competitive advantages, whether with regard to increasing productivity, optimizing quality or ensuring ecological standards.

Major exhibits from Benninger include the Ben-Wash, a high washing effect with low water consumption; the Ben-Bleach, from grey cloth to full dyeing or print white; the Ben-Dimensa for precise mercerization; Ben-Colour that provides one-step dyeing technology; the Knit-Line offering knitware open-width concepts; and the system of Resource Management that helps users achieve zero discharge and hence environmental protection through waste water recycling and heat recovery.

Besides, Benninger tire cord and single thread installation impregnation systems are technologically mature, guaranteeing total reliability and the highest possible level of safety of the treated fabrics in the most diverse areas of application, the company says.

Bianco spa W3 E85

Bianco spa will exhibit the SKM1 Bianco sensor. Thanks to advanced electronical systems, the SKM1 sensor integrates two different optical systems so that the operator can choose the needle path or the column inclination processing way. These two reading modes use the Twin Scan technology that can work simultaneously both in Reflex and in Transparence, in order to be used on the widest possible range of fabrics.

Exhibit highlights

A.Monforts W2 B66

A.Monforts will be participating at Shanghaitex as part of the German Engineering Federation (VDMA), highlighting its energy saving solutions in textiles dyeing and finishing.

Where space may be a premium, Monforts has introduced a stand-alone Energy Tower for retrofitting to existing stenters or hotflues with restricted access above the units.

Energy Towers have been designed to be positioned alongside the stenter or hotflue, and feature five integrated heat recovery modules. Capitalising on the high temperature of the exhaust air, savings of up to 30% in energy costs can be achieved, in accordance with Monforts.

Monforts will also give emphasis to its latest Montex TT stenter for technical textiles featuring a specially developed nozzle system for coating applications as well as outstanding maintenance features.

Andritz Küsters W2 B54

Andritz Küsters, will showcare their complete product range of calenders and rolls for the textile industry as well as machinery for the nonwoven industry at Shanghaitex 2009 within the German Pavilion. The enterprise from Krefeld, Germany is well supported by their representatives AKM (based in Shanghai and Hong Kong), who have derived from Kuesters Far East and Kuesters Shanghai.

Andreas Lukas, Vice President of Andritz Küsters stated: “The two unique deflection controlled roll systems S-Roll and HyCon Roll are our core competence. Our clients get precisely the right calender technology their product needs.”

With a maximum line force of 400 N/mm the teXcal s-roll with deflection control raises the bar to set new standards, especially in technical textiles, which require defined low air permeability such as parachute silk. Other deflection controlled calender systems with synthetic coatings are limited to a line force of 300 N/mm. The fabric needs multiple calendering, whereas the teXcal s-roll with especially adjusted surface technology can achieve best compaction results in just one passage, the company says.
