Global production of chemical fibres increased by three percent in 2006 to approximately 43 million tons compared to the previous year. Polyester fibres were the most important segment with 27.7 million tons (an increase of eight percent). More than 70 percent of chemical fibres in the world are produced in Asia in the meantime, with China as largest manufacturing country. The leading international manufacturers of man-made fibre machines for staple fibres and filament yarns will be represented at ITMA 2007 in Munich (13 to 20 September). More than 100 exhibitors from this segment will exhibit their latest machines and components in Halls A3 to A6.
While investments are being made in highly productive, large fibre plants in Asia, system modernisations and the manufacture of special machines, especially for technical textiles, dominate in Western Europe. Consequently, components such as spinnerets and filters for achieving increased productivity and product quality as well as more flexible production are primary for European trade fair visitors. Automation and increased process control are the basis for this.
The development of new fibres for use in technical areas requires modified manufacturing and processing systems (e.g., for carbon fibres). New market opportunities are also being created with nanofibres. The fibres required for medical textiles are often still in the development stage; German textile research institutes installed the first pilot systems in 2006. Visitors from the whole world can also obtain information in Munich about the latest technologies and processes in this area of use in September.
The markets have moved to Asia in texturing, so that more than 90 percent of the investments for texturised polyester yarn are made in China and India in the meantime. On the other hand, the USA and Western Europe as well as Turkey remain the dominant producers for BCF carpet yarns. A total of 25 manufacturers of texturing, bulking and crimping machinery will present their latest developments at ITMA in Munich.
Energy savings in fibre production and raw material recycling will also be especially interesting topics in Munich due to high polymer costs.
The global restructuring of the fibre industry requires a lot of rethinking about fibre production with respect to costs, production and sales markets. The most modern technologies, machines and components are required for this. ITMA 2007 is presenting the leading international manufacturers in this segment.
About ITMA
In the halls of the New Munich Trade Fair Centre, the latest products of the international textile machinery industry will be presented on 13 - 20 September 2007. The European umbrella organisation CEMATEX, which comprises nine European member associations, is the owner of ITMA and has selected the Textile Machinery Association of the VDMA to engage Messe München to hold the event in 2007. This leading international trade fair of the textile machinery industry takes place at intervals of four years at different exhibition locations and attracts around 100,000 visitors and 1,300 exhibitors from all over the world. ITMA 2007 will occupy the entire exhibition area of the New Munich Trade Fair Centre.
