Kufner Group, a leading technical fabrics producer, will exhibit its innovative textile solutions at the upcoming Techtextil trade fair, which will be held in Frankfurt, next month. The focus will be on three themes: technical textile heating solutions, EMC-shielding, and stabilisation of leather and fabrics.

XShield, Kufner’s solution against electromagnetic radiation, has a variety of applications in different markets: from fashion and casual wear to home textiles, automotive, military, sports, health all the way to building and electronic industry uses. According to the company, its XShield technology can also protect against unauthorised access via RFID-data-theft.

“At this year’s Techtextil, we will present our solution oriented competences and textile know-how in the field of technical applications to the attending expert audience. For our 2017 Booth, we have chosen an interactive concept, in order to be able to demonstrate the advantages and functions of our technologies to our visitors,” commented Ulrich Sogl, CEO Kufner Holding.

During the trade show, the company will show a number of recently developed products. The THS (textile heating systems) technology developed by Kufner has been used in automotive interiors in the field of dashboards, steering wheels and seats for some time.

The most recently developed solutions in this area will be presented at Techtextil together with partners in the automotive industry. “There are, however, a number of possible applications of THS technology in very different sectors,” the company explains.

Besides apparel applications, such as active sports or healthcare, Kufner technology can provide heating for the artificial grass of a football field or geotextiles in greenhouses. “In the next few years, we want to establish brand new applications for our THS technology, to complement those already successfully established. The interdisciplinary platform Techtextil will be a great starting point to establish new contacts and get to know additional target audiences,” said Ulrich Sogl.

Kufner Group, with an over 150 years of experience, is known for technically advanced fusible interlinings and shaping canvas across the high-quality fashion sector. The majority of Kufner’s woven, knitted and nonwoven interlinings go into menswear.

“The invisible ultra-light textile interlinings are defined by their excellent characteristics and provide perfect fit and shape to even the finest surface material,” the company reports. “Kufner is also world leading in stabilising leather for car seats and upholstery. All renowned car producers use the refined technology to maintain the natural elasticity of leather while simultaneously achieving the required stability.”
