Quality Counts – At Every Level of The Market

USTER offers multiple resources for understanding quality management from fiber to fabric. In textiles, the two extremes of the market are poles apart – from mass-produced commodity products to ‘big-brand’ specialties where only the highest standards of material and styling apply.

CEO Thomas Nasiou explains: “USTER has become a synonym for quality in textiles during the past seven decades. That is not just because

Just a Few Sentences from VDMA at The Turn of The Year 2018/2019

Associations, Textile

The challenges for the textile machinery industry are manifold with a view to 2019.

The ITMA ASIA was the most important marketing and sales event for the industry in 2018 - albeit in China in a demand environment that is currently declining in many segments. Nevertheless, in a VDMA survey, 74% of participants rated the number of visitors to their own stand as...
