Istanbul, Türkiye – June 2026 – German textile machinery specialist Monforts is set to showcase its latest textile finishing, coating and continuous dyeing technologies at ITM 2026, taking place from June 9-13 in Istanbul. Exhibiting at Hall 11, Stand 1117D, the company will emphasize both its industry-leading finishing solutions and the growing opportunities for textile manufacturers in the expanding technical textiles sector.
As one of Monforts’ most important international markets, Türkiye continues to play a strategic role in the company’s growth plans, driven by strong demand for advanced finishing technologies and increasing investments in value-added textile production.
Montex Stenters Continue to Set Industry Standards
Monforts’ renowned Montex stenters remain a benchmark in textile finishing processes including drying, stretching, heat-setting and coating. Widely used across denim, home textiles and technical textile applications, the machines are recognized for their high production throughput, process reliability and exceptional energy efficiency.
The company’s continuous focus on reducing energy consumption while maintaining premium fabric quality has made Montex technology a preferred choice among textile manufacturers worldwide.
Thermex Delivers Efficient Continuous Dyeing Performance
Monforts will also highlight its Thermex continuous dyeing ranges, known for delivering superior dyeing quality, process consistency and significant energy savings.
The Thermex system combines advanced process control with precise chemical application technology, ensuring uniform dye penetration and excellent color reproducibility across large production volumes.
A key feature is the proven Econtrol® process, developed jointly by Monforts and DyStar. This innovative one-pass pad-dry-wash continuous dyeing technology simplifies reactive dyeing while reducing processing time, water consumption and operating costs.
The Econtrol® process enables efficient dye fixation within two to three minutes through controlled humidity and optimized drying conditions, making it highly suitable for modern textile production environments.
Advanced Finishing Technologies for Modern Mills
Beyond dyeing and stentering solutions, Monforts will present its comprehensive range of finishing technologies, including:
- DynAir relaxation dryers
- Monfortex compressive shrinking ranges
- MontexCoat coating systems
- coaTTex coating technology
- VertiDry drying solutions
These technologies help textile manufacturers improve fabric quality, production flexibility and operational efficiency while meeting increasingly demanding market requirements.
Recent complete Monforts line installations in Türkiye include projects at Altoteks, Altun, İlay Textile, Kücüker, Kipaş Denim, Palmiye, Seher and Rose Fabric, demonstrating the company’s strong presence in the region.
Retrofit Solutions Extend Machine Life and Improve Efficiency
With many Monforts machines operating successfully for decades, the company has seen growing demand for retrofit solutions that modernize existing production lines without requiring complete replacement.
Available upgrade options include:
- Energy Tower heat recovery systems
- Eco Booster integrated heat recovery technology
- Matex Eco Applicator finishing systems
- Modern control and drive technology upgrades
These retrofit solutions enable textile mills to improve energy efficiency, enhance machine performance and reduce operating costs while extending equipment lifespan.
Technical Textiles Open New Growth Opportunities
A major focus of Monforts’ ITM 2026 presentation will be the growing potential of technical textiles. Through advanced coating and finishing technologies, manufacturers can add specialized functionality and performance characteristics to conventional textile substrates.
Emerging technical textile applications include:
- Tents and awnings
- Sailcloth and blackout blinds
- Automotive interiors
- Industrial filter media
- Flame-retardant barrier fabrics
- Composite reinforcement materials
As global demand for high-performance textiles continues to rise, Monforts believes these sectors offer significant opportunities for Turkish manufacturers seeking diversification and higher-value production.
Strong Regional Support Through Neotek
Monforts continues to strengthen its presence in Türkiye through its long-standing partnership with Neotek, which provides local installation, commissioning, technical service and customer support.
According to Thomas Päffgen, Area Sales Manager at Monforts, ITM remains one of the company’s most important exhibitions due to Istanbul’s strategic location connecting textile manufacturers from Türkiye, the Middle East, Central Asia, Bangladesh, India and Pakistan.
The event provides an ideal platform for textile producers to explore advanced technologies that support sustainability, efficiency and future growth in both traditional and technical textile markets.
