Textile reinforced composite materials are lightweight, stiff and strong. As such, they are increasingly used in various industries, including aerospace, construction, automotive and sports.
Although composite solutions have been showcased in past ITMA editions, consolidating them under a product sector will facilitate easier sourcing for buyers. With the launch of the composite product sector, ITMA 2023 will bring together the entire textile ecosystem through a leading-edge showcase of innovative technologies and materials, dynamic collaborations, robust discussions, live machinery demonstrations and innovation forums.

It’s great to learn that technology for textile composites which have been showcased at ITMA for many years, has now been established as a separate product chapter. At ITMA 2019, we successfully launched our P2 rapier weaving machine. It was well received by visitors from various industry sectors, ranging from clothing, home and technical textiles, to composite material manufacturing.
