Annabelle Hutter, managing director of Saentis Textiles AG (Switzerland), said: “The textile trade has transformed immensely in the past 20-30 years. Production of apparel and home textiles have moved to a large extent to Asia, new markets for circular as well as technical textiles have emerged, or digital or environmental requirements and changes have reshaped the industry. What has not changed is the need to be connected personally with colleagues from the industry around the world. The ITMF is a special forum for industry representatives from around the world to meet and to discuss new ideas and solutions. In addition, ITMF offers its members information that help to better understand the dynamics of the industry. Saentis Textiles appreciated attending the ITMF Annual Conference 2022 in Davos, where interesting topics were discussed, and personal contacts could be strengthened.”
Dr. Christian Schindler, director general of ITMF, said: “By joining ITMF as a corporate member, Saentis Textiles becomes part of a unique international forum that brings together stakeholders from the entire global textile value chain. Meeting colleagues and friends from different segments in the value chain—producers of fibres, textiles, garments, home textiles, textile machinery, or textile chemicals as well as other organisations and companies affiliated with the textile industry—in an environment of trust and with a spirit of collaboration, is fruitful and productive.
“A network of personal relations is precious, when it comes to understand and navigate through the complex global textile industry. ITMF and all ITMF members will benefit from Saentis Textiles’ unique expertise and experience in developing and sourcing textile products around the world. The ITMF Annual Conference 2022 which was held in September 2022 in Davos, Switzerland, had shown that personal relations are and will remain crucial in the textile industry.”
