BW Converting to showcase sustainable finishing innovations at Techtextil
BW Converting Solutions, a global leader in engineered converting solutions, has announced its participation at the upcoming Techtextil North America trade show, where it will showcase a series of innovations aimed at promoting sustainable finishing processes in the textile industry. The company is set to unveil advanced technologies that promise to enhance production efficiency, reduce environmental impact, and elevate end-product quality for technical textiles and nonwovens.
BW Converting comprises several well-established brands including Paper Converting Machine Company (PCMC), Winkler+Dünnebier, STAX Technologies, Hudson-Sharp, and Northern Engraving. Their joint appearance at Techtextil will emphasize a unified sustainability strategy backed by technical leadership.
“BW Converting is redefining finishing systems by integrating technologies that not only enhance operational efficiency but significantly reduce waste and energy use,” said Jeff Griffin, President of BW Converting Solutions. “Our latest line of converting machines and process optimizations is designed to help customers meet their sustainability goals without sacrificing performance.”
Key highlights from BW’s booth will include:
- Low-Energy Drying Systems: Reducing the carbon footprint by minimizing heat requirements during the drying stage.
- Precision Coating and Laminating Equipment: Technologies aimed at reducing material usage while improving adhesion and durability.
- Closed-Loop Waste Management Features: Systems engineered to reclaim and recycle solvents and fiber waste in real-time.
- Advanced Automation Capabilities: Smart control systems with real-time diagnostics for better energy and resource optimization.
These developments align with a growing global emphasis on sustainability and responsible manufacturing. With climate regulations tightening and consumer expectations rising, textile manufacturers are under pressure to innovate across all stages of production.
In addition to product demonstrations, BW Converting will host live seminars at the event to educate attendees on the business benefits of investing in green technologies. Topics will include lifecycle cost savings, regulatory compliance, and aligning corporate ESG goals with production strategies.
Industry insiders view BW’s proactive stance as a positive step in an industry that has historically struggled to balance output with sustainability. “The solutions being introduced by BW Converting have the potential to set a new standard in finishing—where efficiency and environmental responsibility go hand in hand,” noted Dr. Lina Anders, a sustainability advisor to several European textile firms.
BW’s participation in Techtextil also highlights a broader trend in the industry where machine manufacturers are evolving into solution providers, integrating hardware, software, and environmental stewardship into comprehensive platforms.
With a significant portion of the textile value chain seeking transformation, BW Converting’s innovations could influence decision-making among mills, brands, and OEMs looking to future-proof their operations.
The event will be held at the Raleigh Convention Center in North Carolina, where BW Converting will be located at Booth 1505. The company is expected to engage with potential clients, offer hands-on trials, and announce upcoming pilot programs in partnership with key global manufacturers.
As the push for sustainable manufacturing intensifies, BW Converting Solutions’ showcase is expected to draw attention from industry leaders, regulators, and sustainability advocates alike.
