BW Converting to present its Baldwin TexCoat® G4 at Techtextil 2026

Precision spray finishing technology helps textile manufacturers reduce chemistry, water and energy usage while improving process control

BW Converting will present its Baldwin TexCoat® G4 precision spray finishing system at Techtextil Frankfurt 2026, taking place April 21-24 at Messe Frankfurt. Visitors to Hall 12, Booth C56B, will have the opportunity to explore how this advanced spray technology helps textile manufacturers improve finishing quality, increase efficiency and reduce resource consumption across a wide range of applications.

At the center of BW Converting’s textile portfolio, Baldwin TexCoat G4 uses precision application technology to apply chemistry with pinpoint accuracy on one or both sides of the fabric. By replacing conventional bath-based application methods with a non-contact spray process, the system helps reduce wet pick-up by up to 50%, enabling major reductions in water and energy use while supporting more consistent, controlled finishing results. 

“Techtextil Frankfurt is an important opportunity to engage directly with textile manufacturers looking for ways to improve both process performance and resource efficiency,” said Yiannis Vasilonikolos, Global Sales Leader, Textiles, BW Converting. “With TexCoat G4, mills can achieve uniform chemical application, faster changeovers and substantial reductions in water, energy and chemistry consumption, all while maintaining the level of quality and reproducibility today’s market demands.”

TexCoat G4 is designed to help mills and finishers simplify operations while improving sustainability and profitability. The system eliminates bath contamination, reduces waste during changeovers and supports a more repeatable finishing process with less manual intervention. Additional features such as automated cleaning routines and traceability through Industry 4.0 interfaces further enhance uptime and process control.

“Needle punching technology is more universal and sustainable than ever!”

Needle punching technology was long regarded as a rather traditional and comparatively slow technology within the nonwovens industry. In this interview, Johann Philipp Dilo explains why needle punching is more relevant than ever today – ranging from energy efficiency and resource conservation to hygiene applications, new machine concepts and design-oriented nonwoven solutions.

Textile climate control system in workwear – exhibition at the 2026 SME Innovation Day!

Conventional protective workwear often reaches its limits during strenuous physical activity. In particular, the transport of sweat and excess body heat poses a problem. The German Institutes of Textile and Fiber Research (DITF) conducted research on flow-optimized, air-conducting textile structures that enable targeted climate control directly on the body. These structures can be integrated straight into protective work garments. The textile climate control system supports the body’s natural thermoregulation. This contributes to improved workplace safety and comfort.
