can help the Chinese textile sector
to evolve into a modern high-tech
industry”, Mayer adds.
Blue Competence
New technical solutions are
increasingly considered with regard
to their economic and ecological
efficiency. But for textile producers
it is not easy to get an orientation,
because the whole discussion about
efficiency criteria and comparabil-
ity is sometimes far from being
objective.
At ITMA Asia the VDMA
Textile Machinery Association will
present the sustainability initia-
tive Blue Competence for the first
time in the Asian market. VDMA
has developed the initiative for
the whole range of its machinery
industry. It explains and positions
the machinery manufacturers as the
technical problem-solvers regard-
ing the requirements of the society
of today and of the future in saving
energy, material and resources.
In the framework of the Blue
Competence initiative, the VDMA
member-companies provide well-
founded answers for instance to the
topic energy efficiency. At ITMA
Asia, the VDMA energy efficiency
guide “Conserving resources –
securing savings-potential” will be
distributed in the Chinese language.
In this guide the determining fac-
tors for a comparing assessment of
energy efficiency of textile machin-
ery have been worked out.
Some activities in the market
in the last time regarding criteria
and comparability were not very
well founded, because they tried to
measure complex textile machin-
ery like consumer electronics or
household appliances. The VDMA
guide would help to put the discus-
sion on energy efficiency on a solid
basis again.
In the run-up and during the show
the VDMA Textile Machinery As-
sociation will publish best practice
examples from VDMA member-
companies. The success stories
themed “Sustainability meets prof-
it” will include examples of sustain-
able machines and components as
well as sustainable textile products
that have been manufactured with
the help of machines from VDMA
members.
German exhibitor team
A total of 112 German companies
have registered for ITMA Asia
2012. This is an increase of 9 per
cent compared to the 2010 show.
All renowned German manufactur-
ers will be present at the leading
trade fair for the Asian market.
They will cover almost all dif-
ferent machinery chapters with a
strong focus on spinning, finishing,
knitting, nonwovens, weaving and
winding technology.
For visitors it will be easy and
convenient to find and visit German
exhibitors as most of them will use
“Made in Germany” and “German
Technology” logos. Further, VDMA
has initiated German sector groups
in hall E2 (finishing), E5 (knitting &
braiding) and W2 (spinning).
The first point of contact for trade
professionals interested in Ger-
man technology will be the VDMA
information booth in the Associa-
tion Village, booth E7/C10. At the
booth the above-mentioned suc-
cess stories themed “Sustainability
meets profit” will be presented.
Also, VDMA will provide useful
information for visitors:
The VDMA ITMA Asia Guide,
listing all exhibiting VDMA
member-companies according to
halls; the 2012 Chinese edition of
the Buyers’ Guide “German Tech-
nology – The investment always
pays off”, showing in a neat matrix
the production program of all
member-companies of the VDMA
Textile Machinery Association; the
VDMA energy efficiency guide
“Conserving resources – securing
savings-potential”; and the VDMA
sampler “Sustainability meets
profit”, including success stories
about energy efficiency, material
efficiency and others all along the
textile chain.
