Cematex, an European Committee of Textile Machinery Manufacturers, has appointed Cornelia Buchwalder as the new secretary general. Buchwalder served on an interim basis since June 2019, following the retirement of Maria Avery, and was elected permanently by the Cematex board last month. Buchwalder has wide knowledge of the global textile equipment sector.

Buchwalder has managed the Swiss Textile Machinery Association since 2013 and been closely involved in organising participation at the major global trade shows and various international events. Her experience takes in the ITMA exhibitions in Europe at Milan (2015) and Barcelona (2019), as well as three ITMA Asia + CITME fairs, in 2014, 2016 and 2018.

Buchwalder will continue to combine the two posts as secretary general of both Swiss Textile Machinery and of Cematex.

“I am very pleased with the new permanent appointment of Cornelia Buchwalder, and I am confident the industry will continue to benefit from her knowledge, dedication, energy and enthusiasm, as we face the ongoing challenges of delivering the best textile technology to our manufacturing partners worldwide,” Cematex president Fritz P Mayer, said in a press release.
