EDITORIAL


TECHNICAL TEXTILES, INDUSTRY INSIGHTS

These days, more than 34 million tonnes of technical textiles are consumed across the globe. And this number is likely to reach 57 million tonnes by 2027.

The sector is foreseen to grow with a CAGR of 6.4% by 2022 due to the increasing demand for enhanced functionality, better performance and improved durability textiles for workwear, sport and leisure apparel, as well as for industrial, automotive and agriculture applications, just to mention a few. Moreover, Governments are adopting tougher regulations and instituting new stringent standards for health, safety and environmental compliance in both developed and developing countries.

WEAVING TECHNICAL? DO IT ITEMA

Itema is traditionally a leading supplier of weaving machines for technical fabrics production and derives a growing portion of the overall turnover from sales of looms specialized in technical textiles applications. Furthermore, Itema is the only weaving machines producer to offer technical textile manufacturers the top three weft insertion technologies – Rapier, Projectile and Airjet -, in what is the most comprehensive portfolio on the market today for technical applications. Let’s take a look to each weaving technology to bring into focus the specific and unique solutions that Itema developed for the benefit of technical fabrics weaving.
