Stäubli will also present its TF series weaving machines, engineered for the production of advanced 3D and multilayer fabrics using materials such as carbon, glass, and aramid fibers. The TF20 and TF30 models combine flexibility, precision, and productivity, making them ideal for manufacturing lightweight composites, aviation-grade materials, and reinforcement textiles for construction. Designed for high performance weaving, the TF20 offers high-speed capability and a double rapier option that can significantly boost output, while the TF30 ensures gentle yarn handling and supports a wide range of sophisticated weave structures. 

Stäubli’s commitment to excellence is rooted in continuous R&D, the use of superior-quality components, and long-term customer support before, during, and after machine installation. Stäubli equipment operates reliably in weaving mills worldwide, producing technical fabrics that meet the most stringent performance standards, from lightweight reinforcement structures to specialized industrial textiles.

Visitors to Stäubli’s booth will have the opportunity to explore how the company’s integrated weaving solutions support the development of next generation composite materials and open new possibilities for industrial innovation.

“Action helps us change what we do!”

DAY 0 takes place deliberately before PERFORMANCE DAYS begins. It is conceived as a space for reflection, dialogue and active engagement — a moment to pause before the fair, rethink established systems and address sustainability not as a trend, but as a fundamental transformation challenge. Under the guiding metaphor “Turn the Tap Off”, DAY 0 focuses on root causes rather than symptoms, systemic change rather than isolated solutions, and collective responsibility rather than individual silos.

VAUDE eliminates PFAS from all products

PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) are now detectable worldwide – in drinking water, soil and the human body. These so-called “forever chemicals” are considered hazardous to health and potentially carcinogenic, as they do not break down and remain in the environment permanently. Despite these risks, PFAS are still used in a wide range of products. More than 15 years ago, VAUDE made a strategic decision to gradually eliminate PFAS from all product categories.
