Trützschler set to showcase textile tech at ITMA Asia 2025
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.
Trützschler Card Clothing

Trützschler Nonwovens

In the field of hydroentanglement, visitors can learn more about the Carded Pulp (CP) nonwovens line which combines paper-grade pulp and viscose to produce 100% biodegradable nonwovens for sustainable wipes. For needle-punching, Trützschler Nonwovens will provide an overview of the T-SUPREMA needle-punching line that stands out for its flexibility, productivity and stability across technical applications such as automotive, filtration, geotextiles, and acoustics.
Our experts will share insights into a groundbreaking advancement in ATB technology: the world’s only industrial-scale solution for processing 0.6 denier ultra-fine bicomponent fibers. This machine setup enables the production of exceptionally soft and high-performance nonwovens for premium baby diapers, including topsheets, backsheets, and absorbent distribution layers (ADL). These nonwovens meet the highest global standards for comfort, fluid management, and skin-friendliness.
Supporting all these processes, the X-Series embodies Trützschler Nonwovens’ carding expertise. The NCT-X and NC-X deliver robust, consistent quality with high output and stability, while the NC-Xe offers a cost-effective entry-level solution with built-in scalability and upgrade options.

Dutch goods trade rises in H1 2025 despite weaker fuel exports: CBS
The total value of goods imported was 2 per cent higher than it was in the first half (H1) of 2024, CBS said in a press release.
In each month of Q1 2025, more goods were traded than in the same month of 2024. In April and May, trade was down from last year, but in June it was higher once again.
Dutch international trade in goods rose in the first half (H1) of 2025 compared with H1 2024, according to Statistics Netherlands (CBS).
Exports increased 1.9 per cent and imports 2 per cent YoY.
While mineral fuel trade declined, exports of other goods were largely stable or higher.
Trade with Belgium, France, and the UK weakened, whereas exports to Germany and the US and imports from China grew.
Imports and exports of mineral fuel declined in H1 2025: the import value was 11 per cent lower, while the export value was 15 per cent lower. In other product categories, exports were higher than the previous year or were down by less than those of mineral fuels.
There has been geopolitical turbulence around the world in recent months, and trade with certain neighbouring countries seems to have suffered particularly in the first half of 2025. The value of imports from Belgium and the United Kingdom was down, for instance, as was the value of exports to Belgium and France, added the release.
Exports to the Netherlands’ key trading partner, Germany, saw an increase, while imports from China rose 5 per cent YoY in the first half (H1) of 2025. Exports to the United States climbed 11 per cent, with the most notable growth occurring in February, March, and April.

Michael Kors parent Capri Holdings’ revenue exceeds estimates at $856 million in Q2 FY26
Published
November 4, 2025
Michael Kors parent Capri Holdings’ revenue exceeded estimates and totalled $856 million in the second quarter of the 2026 financial year. The business’ net loss rose to $34 million, compared to net income of $42 million a year prior.
“We are encouraged by our second quarter results,” said the company’s chairman and CEO John D Idol in a release posted on the business’ website on November 4. “Trends continued to improve sequentially, which resulted in revenue, gross margin, and operating income exceeding our expectations. This performance demonstrates the progress we are making as we execute against our strategic initiatives to energise our fashion luxury houses.”
The business’ revenue dropped by 4.2% year on year in constant currency terms (-2.5% on a reported basis) and its loss from operations totalled $12 million in the quarter ending September 27. Capri Holdings’ gross profit totalled $522 million in the second quarter of the 2026 financial year and the reported gross margin was 61%, compared to $547 million and 62.3% a year prior. Tariffs negatively impacted the gross margin rate by approximately 130 basis points, according to the business, and a higher than anticipated effective tax rate versus its original guidance negatively impacted adjusted net income by $24 million.
Capri Holdings’ brand Michael Kors’ revenue decreased by 1.8% on a reported basis and 3.3% on a constant currency basis in the second quarter of the 2026 financial year, totalling $725 million. The label’s gross profit was $430 million in the second quarter, compared to $451 million a year earlier.
The business’ label Jimmy Choo’s revenue totalled $131 million in the past quarter, representing a year on year drop of 6.4% on a reported basis and 9.3% on a constant currency basis. The luxury brand’s gross profit was $92 million in the second quarter this fiscal, compared to $96 million in the second quarter of the 2025 financial year.
“With the Versace sale expected to close in our fiscal third quarter, we are now fully focused on the growth of our two iconic brands Michael Kors and Jimmy Choo,” said Idol. “We plan to use the proceeds of the sale to repay the majority of our debt, substantially strengthening our balance sheet and providing greater financial flexibility to both invest in our growth as well as return capital to shareholders in the future. Given the encouraging signs of stabilisation across our business and our planned reduction in debt levels, our Board of Directors has authorised a new $1 billion share repurchase program which the Company expects to begin implementing in fiscal 2027.”
In its outlook for the full 2026 financial year, Capri Holdings expects to see its total revenue sit in the range of $3.375 billion and $3.45 billion with an operating income of around $100 million. The business forecasts total revenue of $2.8 billion to $2.875 billion for the Michael Kors brand and $565 million to $575 million for Jimmy Choo for the full financial year.
