A.T.E. and Principals Showcase Capabilities In Techtextil 2017

A.T.E. along with its principals showcased their capabilities to offer the latest technology solutions in technical textiles at the Techtextil India 2017 held at Mumbai from 13 to 15 September. Truetzschler Nonwovens (Germany), Karl Mayer (Germany/ Switzerland), LUWA (Switzerland/India), Monforts (Germany), Mahlo, (Germany), Zimmer (Austria), and Guarneri Technology (Italy)had participated in the exhibition from the nonwovens, technical textiles, and processing sectors.

Truetzschler Nonwovens highlighted its capabilities to offer solutions applicable from razor thin hygienic webs to noise absorbent mats. Truetzschler Nonwovens provide customised solutions in fibre opening, web formation, web bonding, finishing, winding, and drying.

Karl Mayer’s stand at Techtextil, Mumbai featured an impressive presentation and had fabric samples of a future building material made of textile-reinforced concrete. This composite enables lightweight, narrow concrete components to be produced using tough, carbon-fibre grids. The weft-inserted, warp-knitted textiles for the reinforcement are produced on Karl Mayer’s machines.

Monforts highlighted the 8500 TT stenter model and texcoat ranges. Zimmer focused on the variocoat for multiple coating lines. Mahlo exhibited the competency of weft straighteners suited for handling technical textile webs. Guarneri Technology highlighted the partnership of Voith with Guarneri in supplying Nipco technology rolls in its calendars and the exclusive tie-up with Voith for calendars highly suited for filtration fabrics, parachute fabrics, and various other technical textile end uses. Various finishing samples were shown to customers processed from TT, I, L and Y type calendars.

Customers like Ginni Filaments, Sutlej, Ruby Mills, Arvind, Venkatalakshmi, Theni Guru Krishna, BKS, Oriental, Welspun, Indo Count, etc., visited the A.T.E. stall, and showed a great deal of interest in the products and technologies offered by A.T.E.’s principals.

The impressive footfalls and a large number of intensive technical discussions at the show is a sure sign of the growing interest of the Indian textile industry to seize the emerging opportunities in the technical textile sector, which is expected to grow at 12 per cent per annum to reach US$ 23 billion by 2020 from the present $18.16 billion. The demand for technical textiles is expected to grow steadily during the period 2017-2020, due to broadening applications in end-use industries, such as automotive, construction, healthcare, and sports equipment and so on.
