Textile Recycling Expo 2026 – Brussels

/in /by

Date: June 24–25, 2026
Location: Brussels, Belgium
Booth: 2424, Exhibit Hall 3

AGATEX will be exhibiting at the Textile Recycling Expo 2026 in Brussels.

Our focus will be on specialty additives for textile recycling, in particular our LAMBAFIL® R series – FiberLoop Technology, developed to improve the processing performance of mechanically recycled fibers and enable stable industrial production.

Our solutions help to:

  • improve the processability of recycled fibers
  • increase process stability
  • ensure consistent material performance

A key focus will be on our core products within the LAMBAFIL® R series:

  • LAMBAFIL® R100 – adapted for synthetic-rich recycling materials
  • LAMBAFIL® R200 – adapted for cotton and cellulosic recycling materials
  • LAMBAFIL® R300 – adapted for PET-rich recycling materials
  • LAMBAFIL® R400 – adapted for mixed PET/cotton blended recycling materials

These solutions are designed to address the specific challenges of different recycling streams and support our customers in reliably integrating recycled materials into industrial processes.

Visit us at our booth and discuss your specific applications and challenges in textile recycling with our team.

Building Better Materials Through Strong Partnerships – AGATEX at Techtextil

Building Better Materials Through Strong Partnerships – AGATEX at Techtextil

During Techtextil in Frankfurt, our colleagues Thomas Maier and Kristian Gavric met with Maria Ström and Roos Mulder from Loop Factory to further strengthen our ongoing collaboration.

The focus of the discussion was clear: how to improve material performance through early and close cooperation. In the fiber and nonwovens industry, the best solutions are rarely developed in isolation — they emerge when different areas of expertise come together at an early stage.

At AGATEX, one principle guides our work:
material performance must prove itself in real production environments.

This means:

  • reliability in processing
  • consistent, reproducible results
  • long-term stability

Together with Loop Factory, we are working along this path — step by step, without shortcuts.

Partnerships like this are a key part of how we operate. They allow us to learn faster, develop better-performing materials, and create solutions that truly last.

We look forward to continuing this collaboration.

AGATEX Feinchemie GmbH opens new Innovation Center in Edt bei Lambach

Edt bei Lambach, Austria – AGATEX Feinchemie GmbH has opened a new Innovation Center at its site in Edt bei Lambach. Following less than one year of construction and an investment in the seven-figure euro range, the new facilities were occupied at the end of last year.

“This investment is a clear commitment to our Austrian site and highlights the importance of research, development and innovation for our company. At the same time, our parallel investments in Thailand strengthen our international presence and allow us to be even closer to our customers in global growth markets,” says Managing Director Georg Bauer.

The core of the investment in Edt bei Lambach is the expansion of AGATEX’s research and development capabilities. This includes an upgraded chemical laboratory, a new application technology laboratory designed to simulate real customer processes, as well as additional office and meeting spaces. The application laboratory, in particular, enables product testing under realistic, process-oriented conditions.

“With this investment, we can support our customers even more effectively and significantly reduce development timelines. Developing solutions together with our customers is essential to finding the right answers to complex challenges. Our clear goal is to become the preferred partner of our customers,” adds Managing Director Nikolaus Bauer-Harnoncourt.

With the new Innovation Center in Austria and the simultaneous expansion of its international activities – especially in Southeast Asia – AGATEX is setting the course for sustainable growth, technological excellence and closer customer collaboration worldwide.
