Saurer sets new standards at Techtextil 2026

When the international textile industry gathers at Techtextil in Frankfurt from April 21 to 24, Saurer is going to present a powerful solution for the growing demands in the field of technical yarns with the TechnoCorder TC2plus.

At booth B56 in Hall 12 the company will demonstrate how modern twisting and cabling technology unlocks new market potential and sustainably optimizes pro-duction processes at the same time.

The new TechnoCorder TC2plus stands for maximum flexibility, innovative yarn ar-chitectures and outstanding cost-efficiency.

Redefined flexibility

The requirements for technical yarns are continually increasing – specialization, customization, and efficiency are decisive success factors.

The TechnoCorder TC2plus was specifically developed for this dynamic environ-ment. It processes fine and coarse yarns, low and high twist levels and even a wide range of materials with exceptional process stability.

The result: maximum productivity with consistently high yarn quality.

FlexiPly – Innovation opening new markets

Unlike conventional processes, FlexiPly enables the dynamic combination of dif-ferent yarn types and counts. This allows the production of so-called hybrid yarns that are precisely engineered for their specific end-use loads, which pro-vide significant advantages for applications such as mechanical rubber goods, tire reinforcements or smart textiles.

FlexiPly represents intelligent material utilization, innovative product concepts and clear competitive advantages.

Performance for sensitive high-tech applications

Especially technical yarns demand the highest standards of process stability and material protection. The specially developed fine-count spindle, designed spe-cifically for the sensitive range starting at 110 dtex, guarantees excellent yarn quality at maximum productivity. It is ideally suited for medical textiles, protective clothing and lightweight technical fabrics.

With this approach the TechnoCorder TC2plus sets new standards in precision and efficiency.

Authentic effects with maximum performance

Also in the artificial turf segment the TC2plus opens entirely new possibilities. Its integrated cabling function blends various PE monofilaments into sophisticated yarn constructions that authentically reproduce natural light and shadow ef-fects.

The result is a highly convincing natural appearance combined with outstanding production efficiency.

Cost-effectiveness down to the last detail

Besides its technological flexibility the TechnoCorder TC2plus stands out for its smart process optimization features. The option to choose between random and precision winding ensures seamless alignment with downstream operations.

An integrated setup assistant helps operators to define the optimal package configuration within minutes, minimizing changeover times, maximizing machine uptime and sustainably enhancing overall equipment effectiveness.

Future-Proof solutions for technical textiles

The TechnoCorder TC2plus highlights Saurer’s ongoing commitment to empower-ing customers worldwide with advanced, high-performance and economically efficient technologies.

Modernizing Needling – DiloGroup at Techtextil & INDEX 2026

With the theme “Modernizing Needling”, the DiloGroup presents a comprehensively enhanced portfolio for needling technology. The objective is to further increase the performance and application range of needlefelt production lines in terms of productivity, flexibility, and the development of new products, thereby meeting the growing demands of modern technical textiles.

New study shows low environmental impact by Cotton made in Africa Organic Cotton from Tanzania

Today, the Aid by Trade Foundation (AbTF) is announcing the results of a comprehensive life-cycle analysis (LCA) for cotton produced in Tanzania under the Cotton made in Africa Organic (CmiA Organic) standard. The study emphasises the small ecological footprint of CmiA Organic verified cotton. This can largely be traced back to the absence of synthetic pesticides, artificial fertilisers, and artificial irrigation. Consequently, CmiA Organic cotton can help the textile industry meet regulatory requirements as well as science-based targets. The results also show that the consequences of climate change threaten the livelihoods of these cotton farmers, even though the type of agriculture they practise barely contributes to climate change.

PERFORMANCE DAYS proves its relevance as the industry’s key meeting point

Held on March 18–19, 2026, PERFORMANCE DAYS once again confirmed its position as a leading international platform for functional textiles. A total of 3.366 trade visitors and around 560 exhibitors gathered in Munich, with the event already kicking off successfully on DAY 0, which received highly positive feedback for its interactive format. Despite challenging conditions caused by the public transport strike in Munich, the event saw strong attendance and a consistently high level of activity across both exhibition days.
