ITM 2024 Exhibition held in Tüyap brought together textile technology leaders from around the world for 5 days. Cosmo Kimya General Manager Derya Kandemir made important statements about the products they exhibited at the fair and the future of the sector.
Cosmo Kimya highlights dyeing shortening processes by using less water at ITM 2024. Kandemir stated that these processes are presented together with classic products such as textile chemicals and optical brighteners. Emphasizing that their new products save energy, water and time, Kandemir explained that they cause less damage to the environment with the combination of these three factors. Kandemir emphasized the importance of the textile industry becoming more environmentally friendly in the future.
Cosmo Kimya’s aim is to develop products that pollute the environment less, use less chemicals and less energy. Kandemir said that Turkey is one of the best technology users in the world in terms of digitalization and automation. Kandemir stated that Turkey has an important position in the textile sector and emphasized the advantage of its geographical location. However, he stated that it has become difficult to keep prices due to the increase in labor costs and that countries such as Egypt can increase their competitiveness. Kandemir emphasized the importance of being sensitive to the environment in the sector and said, “If we are sensitive to the environment, the life of our environment will be better and longer. If we finish the environment, we will not be able to do this job.”
Drawing attention to the importance of the exhibition for the sector due to the economic fluctuations experienced in recent years, Kandemir said that machines that use less water and energy are more prominent. He emphasized that efficiency should be increased in this period when access to money is difficult. Kandemir stated that the organization of ITM Exhibition in Istanbul, which connects Asia and Europe, is important in terms of visitor diversity and said, “ITM Exhibition pleased us with its visitor diversity on the first day, I think this exhibition fills a big gap in the sector.”
