From October 28 to 31, the Trützschler Group will showcase its latest technologies at ITMA Asia in Singapore. Visit us at Booth D302 in Hall 4 at the Singapore Expo to explore cutting-edge solutions in Spinning, Card Clothing, and Nonwovens. A special highlight: our newest smart automation solution T-CAN, developed in response to growing labor costs and labor shortages in the textile industry. This innovation will be revealed exclusively at the show – don’t miss the opportunity to experience it first-hand.

Trützschler will showcase innovations at ITMA Asia 2025 in Singapore (Oct 28–31, Booth D302, Hall 4).
Highlights include T-CAN, a smart automation for sliver transport, plus the high-productivity TC 30i card with WASTECONTROL and IDF 3 draw frame.
Trützschler will also present advanced Card Clothing solutions and sustainable Nonwovens technologies for wipes, diapers, and technical uses.

Trützschler Spinning

At the heart of our booth, visitors will discover our latest automation innovation T-CAN – a smart system designed to revolutionize sliver transport in spinning preparation. While full details will be unveiled at the show, this solution reflects Trützschler’s commitment to simplifying operations and boosting efficiency through intelligent technology. Alongside this innovation, we will also showcase our proven next generation card TC 30i. Depending on the raw material, but especially in the field of man-made fibers, the TC 30i achieves up to 40% higher productivity compared to the current benchmark, while maintaining or even improving yarn quality. A sophisticated waste suction system enables the separate collection of different waste types, allowing more than 50% of card waste to be reused in a high-quality manner. The TC 30i also comes with the proven WASTECONTROL system, an easy-to-use and effective assurance against unnecessary fiber loss.

The IDF 3 integrated draw frame complements the TC 30i by enabling a shortened spinning preparation process for rotor and airjet applications without compromising on quality. In rotor spinning, the IDF 3 helps to improve yarn quality levels, especially when processing raw materials with high short fiber content. A new can changing system increases card efficiency by up to 3%. With its advanced measuring devices, more homogenous slivers and a higher yarn quality can be achieved. Overall, the IDF 3 enables a more compact setup that saves energy, space, and resources. Customers appreciate the machine’s user-friendly operation and its ability to achieve high-speed spinning in combination with the TC 30i card.

The Drewry World Container Index (WCI)—a composite measure of container freight rates—declined for the fourteenth consecutive week, falling 6.40 per cent to $1,913 per 40-foot equivalent unit (FEU) on September 18, down from $2,044 per FEU the previous week.

After two weeks of moving in opposite directions, the major trade routes, Transpacific and Asia–Europe, are now aligned on a downward trajectory, though each is moving at a different pace.

Drewry World Container Index fell 6.4 per cent to $1,913 per FEU on September 18, marking its 14th straight weekly drop.
Transpacific and Asia–Europe spot rates declined as momentum from GRIs and blank sailings faded.
With carriers struggling to absorb new capacity and soft demand, Drewry expects further rate declines ahead of China’s Golden Week and warns of additional volatility in early 2025.

Transpacific spot rates have resumed their decline, slipping back to levels last seen at the beginning of September. Rates from Shanghai to Los Angeles fell 4 per cent to $2,561 per 40ft container, while rates from Shanghai to New York dropped 5 per cent to $3,571 per 40ft container. Despite a brief uptick, the momentum from General Rate Increases (GRIs) and blank sailings has faded, leading to the latest decline.

Asia–Europe spot rates also continued to fall this week, with Shanghai–Rotterdam rates down 11 per cent to $1,910 per FEU and Shanghai–Genoa rates down 9 per cent to $2,131 per FEU. This drop reflects carriers’ struggle to balance rising capacity—driven by new vessels entering service—with softening demand. With more blank sailings planned ahead of China’s Golden Week holidays, beginning on October 1, Drewry expects rates to continue falling in the coming weeks.

Drewry’s Container Forecaster projects that the supply-demand balance will weaken again in the second week of 2025, likely causing further spot rate contraction. The extent and timing of rate volatility will depend on President Donald Trump’s future tariff decisions and on capacity changes linked to potential US penalties on Chinese ships, both of which remain uncertain.

Bulgari opened on Wednesday its largest exhibition ever in Japan, at The National Art Center, in Tokyo. 

Dubbed “Bulgari Kaleidos: Colors, Cultures and Crafts”, the exhibition is the maison’s first in the country in a decade and brings together nearly 350 creations spanning high jewelry and contemporary art, staged as a kaleidoscopic journey between Italian and Japanese culture.

Visitors will encounter three thematic chapters — The Science of Color, Color Symbolism, and The Power of Light — each revealing the maison’s work. On view are pieces such as the legendary Seven Wonders emerald necklace, bold sautoirs of the 1960s, Sotirio Bulgari’s early designs, and newly commissioned works by contemporary artists Lara Favaretto, Mariko Mori, and Akiko Nakayam. 

The exhibition debuted with a day of high-profile events including an international press conference, an exclusive vernissage, and a gala dinner held in the museum’s atrium. Extending the narrative beyond the museum walls, activations also took place at the Bulgari Hotel Tokyo.

The opening drew guests such as her Imperial Highness Princess Takamado, Yuriko Koike Governor of Tokyo, the Italian Ambassador to Japan Gianluigi Benedetti, Bulgari Brand Ambassadors Kim Ji Won, Jang Wonyong, Hikari Mori, and Tomohisa Yamashita, as well as acclaimed talents like Kento Nakajima, Haruka Igawa, and Aya Omasa, among others.
