ITMA 2015 was a large and successful exhibition of textile machinery. Considering the number of exhibitors and visitors, ITMA 2015 has exceeded the exhibition held in Barcelona in the year 2011. The keyword of the latest edition of the fair was sustainability associated with textiles and textile manufacturing processes. The majority of exhibitors tried to implement this term in their concepts and machinery solutions. Ecological awareness was highly correlated with a hybrid concept of combined spinning-knitting machines. These hybrid machines were again presented by German producers Mayer & Cie. and Terrot as well as by Taiwanese Pai Lung. In comparison with the machines shown at ITMA 2011 the second generation of hybrid machines seems to be more sophisticated, refi ned and reliable. The hybrid process allows the elimination of costly and energy demanding spinning and winding processes. The new knitted fabrics, in comparison with the conventional ones, have a smoother surface. Due to softer yarns, the fabrics also have signifi cantly softer touch. They are suitable for the production of fi ne, high-quality garments, underwear, T-shirts, children’s clothes and pyjamas.
