ITMA Asia + CITME, taking place in Singapore at the end of October, will feature strong participation from Germany’s VDMA member companies, with around 70 exhibitors covering nearly all machinery chapters along the textile value chain. These include spinning, man-made fibres, nonwovens, weaving, braiding, knitting, warp knitting, finishing, dyeing, textile recycling and processing of recycled material.

VDMA has organised a German Pavilion with two group stands, showcasing 30 exhibitors in spinning (hall 4) and finishing (hall 7). “The main topics of the VDMA members are efficiency, automation, digitalisation and sustainability,” said Dr Janpeter Horn, Chairman of the VDMA Textile Machinery Association and Managing Director of August Herzog Maschinenfabrik. “Even in challenging economic times, customers can rely on VDMA members as dependable partners who stand for continuity, reliability and long-term support.”

Dr Harald Weber, Managing Director of VDMA Textile Machinery, highlighted Singapore’s significance as a venue. “With its central location and seamless travel options, Singapore is the perfect location for reaching customers from one of the world’s fastest-growing regions for textile and garment production,” he said.

Asia remains the most important sales market for VDMA members, accounting for almost half of German exports of textile machinery and accessories. Many companies also operate production facilities in countries such as China, India and Vietnam. While exports to Asia declined in 2024, they stabilised in the first half of 2025, with growth recorded in deliveries to China, Uzbekistan and Pakistan.
