German textile machinery manufacturer Trützschler Group will present its latest generation of automated spinning, carding and nonwovens technologies at ITM 2026 in Istanbul, highlighting its focus on efficiency, digital integration and sustainable fiber processing.
The company said in a blog post that it will exhibit at the international textile machinery fair from June 9–13, 2026, at Hall 7, Booth 714A, where it will demonstrate systems designed to address rising labor costs, productivity pressure and the growing demand for automation across global textile manufacturing.
At the core of its spinning portfolio is the T-CAN automated can transport system, which combines self-driving transport units with AGV technology and digital control systems. The solution is aimed at reducing manual handling, improving internal logistics in spinning mills and lowering operational downtime. Trützschler said the system directly responds to workforce shortages and increasing cost pressures in the industry.
The company will also highlight its TC 30i carding machine paired with the IDF 3 integrated draw frame, which together form a streamlined spinning preparation system. According to the company, the TC 30i delivers up to 40% higher productivity through automated process optimization, while the IDF 3 improves sliver quality and reduces process complexity. The combination is intended to support stable yarn production even with challenging fiber blends, including recycled inputs.
Another key exhibit will be the TCO 21XL comber, which operates with 12 combing heads instead of the standard eight, delivering around 50% higher productivity while improving energy efficiency per head. The system is designed to enhance sliver consistency while increasing overall mill throughput.
Trützschler will also present its “My Trützschler” digital ecosystem, which integrates mill monitoring, spare parts management, and training services into a unified platform. The system provides real-time production data and predictive maintenance capabilities, supporting manufacturers in shifting toward data-driven operations and reduced unplanned downtime.

In the nonwovens segment, the company will showcase technologies including the T-SUPREMA needle-punch system, NC-Xe carding platforms and air-through bonding solutions for hygiene applications. These systems are aimed at producing materials for technical textiles, filtration, geotextiles and hygiene products such as wipes, with a focus on resource efficiency and recyclability.
ITM 2026 is expected to highlight the textile industry’s ongoing transition toward automation, digitalization and sustainable production. Trützschler’s participation underscores its positioning as a provider of integrated systems for smart, connected and energy-efficient textile manufacturing.
