The exhibition once again delivered strong engagement for FET, attracting significant interest from countries across the region.

Fibre Extrusion Technology (FET), based in Leeds, UK, has successfully concluded its second major showcase of 2025 at ITMA ASIA in Singapore—one of the key platforms for the textile and garment industry across South Asia, Southeast Asia and the Middle East. The exhibition once again delivered strong engagement for FET, attracting significant interest from countries across the region.

With Southeast Asia emerging as a hub for advanced technical textile development, FET continues to strengthen its presence, supported by long-standing relationships built over the past two decades. The company’s expanding portfolio of extrusion systems is widely deployed across the region, complemented by a network of specialist technical agents throughout Asia. FET aims to further grow this service footprint in the coming years.

FET designs, develops and manufactures advanced extrusion equipment used for a wide range of high-value textile material applications worldwide. Its participation in global exhibitions reflects the company’s increasing relevance across diverse segments of the textile and materials industry.
