“We Established Strong Connections with New Customers and Investors at ITM 2026”
One of the leading manufacturers of textile finishing technologies, Brückner stood out at ITM 2026 with its solutions focused on energy efficiency, sustainability and digital transformation. Showcasing its stenter machines, carpet coating lines and nonwoven dryers, the company attracted considerable attention with its eco-friendly technologies.
Andreas Boss, Sales Manager of Brückner, stated that the company’s primary focus at ITM 2026 was on its eco technologies. These included air-to-air and air-to-water heat recovery systems, as well as air purification systems designed to remove oil and other contaminants from exhaust air. According to Boss, these solutions help manufacturers significantly reduce energy consumption and production costs while supporting more sustainable manufacturing processes.
Another key innovation presented at the exhibition was Brückner’s Expert System. The system enables users to analyse and verify production recipes digitally before transferring them to the machine, allowing potential errors to be identified in advance. As a result, manufacturers can achieve higher production reliability, improved quality and greater process efficiency.
“ITM Remains One of the Most Important Meeting Platforms for the Textile Industry”
Emphasizing the importance of ITM for both Türkiye and the regional textile industry, Boss said the exhibition continues to be one of the most valuable platforms for meeting textile manufacturers, presenting new technologies and strengthening relationships with customers.
He also noted that ITM plays an equally important role in maintaining close cooperation with long-standing customers, establishing contacts with new customers and investors, and meeting suppliers and business partners. “For us, growth is always important. But under today’s market conditions, it is even more important to demonstrate that we are here and that we will continue to be here for the future as a reliable technology partner for our customers.” Boss said.
“Artificial Intelligence and Industry 4.0 Will Shape the Future”
According to Boss, artificial intelligence has become one of the most significant developments in the textile machinery industry, and Brückner is actively working on the next stage of its Expert System by integrating artificial intelligence capabilities to provide customers with even more reliable production data and process support.
He added that artificial intelligence and Industry 4.0 technologies will continue to gain importance, enabling easier machine operation, greater process reliability and improved production efficiency. Brückner will continue to focus on its core technologies, including stenters, nonwovens technologies and carpet finishing systems, while further advancing its digital solutions.
“Positive Feedback Reinforced Confidence for the Future”
Boss stated that ITM 2026 met the company’s expectations. Although many investment projects have been postponed due to the current global economic situation, he noted that the feedback received from visitors remained highly positive.
Emphasizing that the reliability, long service life and high performance of Brückner machines continue to be among the qualities most appreciated by customers, Boss said that one of the exhibition’s most valuable outcomes was establishing new contacts with prospective customers and investors. He also noted that ITM 2026 provided an excellent opportunity to further strengthen relationships with long-standing customers, reaffirming Brückner’s strong presence in the region.
