Browsing: swiss textile machinery

A pre-ITMA press meet in Switzerland I attended recently ended with a very interesting panel discussion on two issues: Today?s technology status quo and the menace of talent exodus in textile industry. The references pertained to the Swiss textile machinery industry, but I found to my surprise it reflected the sentiments of our own industry.

What has textile technology got to do with aircraft manufacture? In fact, quite a few Swiss textile machinery companies would be able to answer that question, as aerospace is just one of the high-profile ´ and extremely demanding ´ business segments in which their products play a key role.
