Itema To Exhibit Its Brand New Rapier Weaving Machine R9500 Denim at DTG Dhaka

Itema is all set to display its brand new rapier weaving machine R9500 at (hall number 6, both 609) the 14^th Dhaka International Textile & Garment (DTG) Machinery Exhibition from February 23 to February 26.

“We, at Itema, are ready to actively support denim mills with our rapier R9500 denim machine designed especially for markets like Bangladesh, to provide weavers with the perfect machine engineered for the highest performance, superior fabric quality, lower running costs and maximum versatility of patterns needed to excel in denim production,” Itema Group Sales & Marketing Director Christian Straubhaar said, according to a release.

“Bangladesh is where a large part of the denim apparel we wear becomes ready-made clothing. If you consider that the country's weaving mills weave around 45 million metres of denim fabrics today, which covers only around 15% of the annual demand of garmenting companies, and spend almost US$4 billion to import fabric, you can imagine what a huge opportunity producing indigo fabric locally could be for the Bangladeshi industry,” he said.

The Itema R9500denim comes fully accessorised and equipped with dedicated devices, including the new main motor with oil cooling to ensure unparalleled machine performances.

Unrivalled textile versatility is guaranteed by the unique Itema shed geometry, widely recognised in the industry as best-in-class, and the SK weft transfer system featuring reinforced rapier heads and tapes optimised to weave denim weft yarns.

The R9500denim at DTG will weave heavy denim (14 oz.) to highlight Itema machines’ unique-in-the-market ability to produce even the most demanding and heavy denim styles, due to the sturdy machine.

“We are excited to take DTG as the opportunity to demonstrate to the Bangladeshi weavers visiting DTG our most innovative, latest generation weaving technology, as well as our full and value-added service capabilities. Our company is structured and organised to answer in real time to every customer’s request, providing a fast and efficient after-sales service, accurate hands-on training courses and active textile consultancy also through our Indian branch,” Itema India Managing Director Updeep Singh said, as per the release.
