Smarter, greener machines – ITMA ASIA + CITME Singapore 2025 show preview

ITMA ASIA + CITME will open its doors in Singapore from 28–31 October 2025, bringing together more than 800 exhibitors from 30 countries and regions across 19 product sectors. Spanning 70,000 m² at Singapore Expo, the event expects to welcome over 30,000 visitors.

This year’s focus is clear: sustainability as a driver of business competitiveness. Exhibitors are presenting technologies that cut energy use, reduce labour dependency and lower waste while keeping mills competitive in fast-changing global markets.

Spinning – Automation and Energy Savings

• Rieter (Hall 3): End-to-end automation links bale transport to final packaging in a single integrated flow.
• Muratec (Hall 4): Automatic winding systems connect directly to spinning frames, streamlining workflow and ensuring consistent yarn quality.
• Jingwei (Hall 3): Modular spinning systems with integrated logistics optimise power consumption and simplify scalability.

Weaving – Efficiency and Eco-Performance

• Itema (Hall 2): Rapier weaving solutions cut raw material waste through selvedge elimination.
• Tsudakoma (Hall 2): Air-jet weaving machines lower compressed air consumption while sustaining speed and fabric quality.
• Picanol (Hall 2): Web-based platforms give real-time visibility and control across weaving rooms.

Knitting – Design, Productivity and Reduced Impact

• Shima Seiki (Hall 5): Whole-garment knitting eliminates cut-and-sew processes, saving materials and labour.
• Mayer & Cie (Hall 5): Circular knitting machines reduce energy use while enhancing consistency.
• Pailung (Hall 5): Multicolour knitting techniques replace dyeing, cutting water and chemical consumption.

Beyond Machinery

Visitors can expect live demonstrations of large-scale equipment, from high-speed weaving to advanced embroidery, scheduled throughout the four-day event. The official exhibition app supports planning with interactive maps, exhibitor lists and registration features.
