AGATEX at the 38th Hofer Vliesstofftage: Innovation for a sustainable nonwovens future

On November 5 and 6, 2025, AGATEX will once again be represented at the Hofer Vliesstofftage (Hof Nonwovens Days) – the leading industry gathering for the nonwovens industry in German-speaking countries. As a family-owned company with over 100 years of history, it is particularly important to us to engage in direct dialogue with our customers and partners in order to jointly develop sustainable and efficient solutions.

Our focus at the event:
🔁 LAMBAFIL¼ R series – For the mechanical recycling of textiles
The textile circular economy is one of the major challenges of the coming years. With our LAMBAFILÂź R series, we offer innovative chemical additives that have been specially developed for the requirements of mechanically recycled fibers. Among other things, the products improve:

  • the fiber length after processing,
  • reduce dust during processing,
  • and optimize further processing in carding, combing, or spinning.

In this way, we are making an active contribution to the better integration of recycled materials into existing processes.

đŸ§Ș LAMBAFILÂź Nonwoven Solutions – Tailor-made chemistry for nonwovens
Whether antistatic, hydrophilic, hydrophobic finishes or defoamers – with our LAMBAFIL¼ product range, we offer tailor-made solutions for the specific requirements of nonwoven production. Our focus is on process reliability, product performance, and sustainability.

🧬 New AGATEX Innovation Center – Development under real conditions
In order to provide our customers with even better support, we opened our new Innovation Center in 2025. There we can:

  • conduct fiber-specific tests directly in-house,
  • simulate application-specific tests on nonwovens,
  • and develop new formulations much faster and in a more targeted manner.

This means shorter development times, better results, and even closer cooperation with our customers.

 

Visit us at the AGATEX tabletop at the Hofer Vliesstofftage 2025 in Hof.
We look forward to talking to all players along the nonwovens value chain – from manufacturers and machine builders to brands and converters.
