Textile Machinery

Textile Machinery Association
The VDMA Textile Machinery represents a powerful branch of the mechanical engineering. About 140 member companies, ranging from spinning to finishing, many of them world market leaders, are mostly medium-sized firms and represent around 90 percent of the total volume of the industry.

Present in both the real world
The Association supports the world’s largest international textile machinery exhibition ITMA (next edition: September 16 – 22, 2027, Hannover Germany, www.itma.com). Our member companies present their technologies also during VDMA conferences, B2B meetings and business delegations worldwide to relevant stakeholders from the textile and nonwoven industry.

- and the digital one
With the web series "Textile Machinery Webtalks", the VDMA has developed a marketing platform that is attractive to potential customers and members alike. The aim of the webtalks, in which three VDMA member companies each present their technologies along the textile chain, is to educate and motivate potential customers to look beyond their own textile horizons, especially when it comes to introducing efficient and sustainable technologies. Very up-to-date and future-oriented topics as well as solution approaches were and are dealt with, such as mask production, circular economy, digitisation and artificial intelligence in the textile chain and much more.
In springtime 2021, the Textile Machinery Webtalks have been moved to the recognised platform IndustryArena. Here, members also have the chance to hold presentations together with their customers (textile or nonwoven manufacturers) and/or textile research institutes.
