Its about a month that the largest global textile machinery exhibition ITMA 2015 came to an end. The exhibition’s focus this time was on clean and sustainable machinery solutions. The exhibiting companies showcased latest innovations in their respective fields and many among them are reporting continuous enthused response from buyers.

While Oerlikon Neumag received orders worth more than CHF 50 million for staple fibre plant technologies from key customers in both Europe and Asia, finishing technology specialist Brückner’s orders are witnessing double digit million euro value range. The orders are for their machines for the finishing of woven and knitted fabrics, as well as coating lines for technical textiles and ranges for the carpet industry.

Also Germany’s DiloGroup, a dominant player in nonwovens machinery has received enquiries and orders for machine deliveries, as well as a large number of new projects. During the event, a signing ceremony was held for the delivery of a new compact Dilo needlepunching line for carbon fibre processing to the Institute of Technical Textiles (ITA) in Augsburg, Germany.
