Germany’s TecStyle Visions 2023 to display textile finishing products

TecStyle Visions, Europe’s leading trade show for textile finishing and promotion, will be presenting as part of EXPO 4.0. at the Stuttgart trade fair centre in Germany from March 30–April 1, 2023. National and international companies will exhibit their products in the textile finishing sector on 20,000m2 of exhibition space. All textile printing equipment, as well accessories for embroidering and flaking, will all be on display. A selection of well-known textile companies will present their latest collections for corporate fashion, promotional wear, and workwear.

In the 2023 edition, most of the TecStyle Visions regular exhibitors will return. Karl Gröner GmbH is showing some novelties in the field of 3D printing, with its Tractus3D printers and large format digital print with HP Latex, Epson, and Roland DG printers. Print&Cut Systems and cutting plotters with machines from Summa, and sublimation printing using systems from Epson, are also not to be missed. In addition to this, Gröner is presenting a CWT flat-bed laminating tableandtransfer presse from SEFA, according to a press release by organiser Messe Stuttgart.

TecStyle Visions will be presenting at the Stuttgart trade fair centre in Germany from March 30–April 1, 2023. All textile printing machinery, as well as machines for embroidering, flaking, and laser engraving, will all be on display at the event. A selection of textile companies will also be on display, showcasing their latest fashion collections.

Simon GmbH will attend the trade fair equipped with a fully-automatic textile folding machine. “The T-Apparel is part of the portfolio of our Belgian partner Dekken Machinery. Another highlight is also the automatic textile printing carousel from the model series Wise by our Portuguese partner KTK,” said Michael König, managing director of Simon GmbH, about the company’s presence at the trade fair.

There are also many new companies among the exhibitors. Lagerkarton Systembox GmbH produces sustainable storage cartons for textiles—so not only is the company’s participation in TecStyle Visions in itself a première, but their product has also never been in the exhibitor portfolio before.

“Especially in this day and age, environmental awareness is omnipresent. Sustainable storage for textiles will soon be unavoidable,” explained Sebastian Welp, managing director of Lagerkarton Systembox GmbH. “We are delighted about the trade fair in Stuttgart. We expect to meet many of our customers and to inspire many of them with our storage solution.”

Pigment.Inc BV, a printing press manufacturer, will also be exhibiting at the trade fair with its new DTG/DTF Q Series machines. These machines can finish both synthetic and natural fabrics. “We are looking forward to meeting professional visitors and industry colleagues in person at the trade fair,” said Robert Wade, editorial content at Pigment.Inc.

Kornit Digital, another manufacturer in the direct to-garment sector, is also mentioned. This company will be presenting its energy-on-demand smart curing system that allows for the production of high-quality, durable textiles. The digital Max technology textile printers will be on display for visitors. Direct-to-garment and direct-to-film are currently highly popular in the textile finishing industry and, besides Pigment.Inc and Kornit Digital, there are also many other manufacturers—but also traders—presenting the related machinery.

Sustainability is a top-of-mind topic when it comes keywords to industry-relevant topics. One company that is increasingly incorporating this topic into its trade show presence is Stanley & Stella. “In all our collections, we use GOTS-certified bio-cotton as well as recycled cotton, recycled polyester, recycled nylon, each of them GRS-certified. Sustainability is therefore a matter of course for almost every item at our stand,” said Michel Hublet, head of sustainability at Stanley & Stella.

Result Clothing integrates sustainability into their trade fair concept. “Besides new products, at TecStyle Visions 2023 we are also focussing on products from our Recycled assortment. We look forward to a busy show with a focus on sustainability and quality business leads from all over Europe,” declared Sara Sanders Smith, director at Result Clothing.

It is where you can learn more about fair trade, sustainable products and eco-friendly manufacturing processes in the textile finishing sector. You can also make your own sustainable T-shirts.

The TecStyle Fashion Fair will once again be a highlight. Under the motto ‘One million colours,’ the participating textile producers are exhibiting their collections of Promotionwear, Workwear, and Corporate Fashion in Ceratizit Hall (Hall 3). The show is open to the public four times daily.

The trade fair program is completed by the specialist forum. The expert forum offers valuable information and suggestions through the lectures and panel discussions.
