ILLIES at Saigontex 2025

Saigontex 2025 highlighted a market shaped by caution and transition. With the uncertainty surrounding U.S. tariffs, many customers approached investment decisions with increased carefulness. Yet, despite this hesitancy, the drive for innovation and transformation remains strong.

Sustainability once again proved to be a central theme—especially textile-to-textile recycling, which continues to draw significant attention across the value chain. Solutions enabling circularity, resource efficiency, and compliance with upcoming ESG standards were key talking points throughout the fair.

We also observed rising interest in automation, energy-efficient dyeing, and digitalized production monitoring—clear signs that Vietnam’s textile sector is positioning itself for long-term competitiveness.

Thank you to all our partners—Andritz LaRoche, Barmag, BB Engineering, Graf, Itema, Recover, Rieter, Terrot, and Thies—for showcasing cutting-edge technologies with us at the ILLIES booth. We are proud to be part of this dynamic industry and look forward to shaping its future together.
