Some interesting trends were very notable at last month’s Techtextil and Texprocess shows in Atlanta, Georgia, according to our correspondent Adrian Wilson.
“The two shows were much more balanced in terms of their respective exhibitors than was the case last year in Frankfurt, despite the imposing ‘High Tex from Germany’ centrepiece display showcasing the technical textile technologies of some 66 German companies,” Adrian reports.
“It appears that there is perhaps less interest in technical textile manufacturing in North America than there is in what can be done to convert fabrics into value-added garments and other finished products. In 2018 that means automation, and the disruptive digital technologies that have led to Micro-factories involving much closer collaborations between individual companies.”
