Meet Saitex - the vertical Vietnamese Denim Entity

Meet Saitex:

Welcoming the Vietnamese vertical Denim Entity to BLUEZONE 2023

16. January 2023

Global jeans manufacturer Saitex is going vertical as it officially announces the opening of its first denim fabric making mill in Vietnam. The new 100,000 square meter facility is located 40 minutes from its cut & sew factory near Ho Chi Minh City where 18,000 pairs of jeans are made on average per day.

The new mill covers all operations from yarn spinning to weaving and to fabric dyeing and finishing. Saitex has announced it will produce 2 million meters of fabric per month, or 24 million yearly, and some 750 tonnes of yarn per month. These new operations have created 630 new jobs and the company says it will employ 1,000 at full capacity. As it has already done at its cut & sew factory, 20% of the jobs will be filled by people with disabilities.

Like Saitex’s “Factory of the Future” in Los Angeles, CA, the new facility incorporates the latest and lowest impact technologies. The mill is equipped to produce yarns in pure cotton or in blends in dual-core, multiple-core and SiroSPUN technologies.

For indigo dyeing, Saitex has installed the Smart Indigo system that pre-reduces indigo via an electrochemical process. This, the company says, leads to lower CO2 emissions by 90%, requires 70% less energy and 30% less water, with oxygen as the only product released. Karl Mayer rope dyeing machines lead to further environmental savings, thanks to fewer dye bathes, and a 30% reduction in indigo and chemical usage.

Other eco-responsible features at the new site include LEED Gold Certified materials for the building, 15,000 solar panels, greywater recycling and rainwater collection systems. A vegetable garden covers 40% of the total site to feed workers and local communities. Saitex says it has also planted 6,000 trees in the industrial park, and has offset its carbon emissions by planting 50 hectares of mangroves in Vietnam, as part of its plan to contribute to climate neutrality by 2025.

“It has been our long-term vision to close the loop on our operations. With the opening of the mill and the upcoming launch of our textile upcycling facility, Stelapop, our vision will be complete. We will close the circle, allowing us to provide unprecedented transparency in denim production and the ability to turn apparel and textile waste into high-quality goods. Our target is to become the most sustainable fabric mill on the planet making fully circular production possible for our customers.”

Polopiqué - Innovating Textile Production

How Polopiqué has managed to distinguish itself through its innovation

An interview with Rosario Rodrigues

18. August 2022

With more than 80 years of experience in the textile industry, Polopiqué is considered to be a leader in the textile industry. The company  has managed to distinguish itself by mastering all phases of the textile production process, from spinning, weaving and finalization, to garment and commercialization of high quality products.

MUNICH FABRIC START had the opportunity to have a one on one interview with Rosario Rodrigues on how the Polopiqué has managed to distinguish itself through its innovation.

Polopiqué is an exhibitor at MUNICH FABRIC START 2022 in the new Hall 8 – THE SOURCE.
Already booked out for weeks, THE SOURCE is the new European One Stop Solution for holistic fashion sourcing. 65 selected international manufacturing companies will present their offers from Cut-Make-Trim (CMT) to High End Production. A cluster of the most important sourcing countries such as Portugal, Turkey, Morocco, Tunisia, Bosnia and Vietnam creates a business-relevant mix for risk diversification, independent of genre and price level. MUNICH FABRIC START has developed the new Hall 8 with around 2,500 square meters of additional space for this purpose. The recently restored Lokhalle, a listed building directly adjacent to the former MUNICH FABRIC START site, is the perfect location. With its gigantic dimensions and spectacular architecture, it is one of Europe’s largest cantilevered historic steel halls.
The result is a unique new venue for flexible sourcing services and rethought value chains.

How does Polopiqué distinguish itself in the textile industry?

Polopiqué is one of the few complete vertical textile industries worldwide, controlling production from spinning, weaving/knitting and finishing to making high-quality garments. At Polopiqué, we don’t just deliver the garment; we also provide the ideas, the solutions and the designs. We include creativity and design in everything we do.  

Why has Polopiqué chosen Portugal for its production?

Polopiqué is a Portuguese family company with decades of tradition in the textile industry. In addition, Polopiqué was created and established in the most relevant geographical area in terms of textiles in Portugal. Therefore, we privilege this know-how and proximity, and we should consider the many benefits of local production in terms of sustainability, agility and quality guarantee.

How does Polopiqué optimize processes to improve the quality of manufactured products? 

“Investing in Research and Development activities to constantly adopt new and innovative raw materials and production processes. It is also imperative to stay up to date regarding more agile and ecological modern technology and machinery.”

 Polopiqué is a member of the Better Cotton initiative; what does that mean?  

Better Cotton is the world’s leading sustainability initiative, presenting the mission to help cotton communities survive and thrive while protecting and restoring the environment. The better cotton initiative makes global cotton production better for producers, the environment, and the cotton sector’s future. It is about interacting with the whole supply chain to transform how cotton is sourced, ensure the improvement of the working conditions and a higher standard of living for farming communities, and spreading knowledge, support and resources for more sustainable practices in cotton production and other crops. 

What are your thoughts on certification used in the textile industry?

We believe it is vital to convey trust and transparency to customers and consumers in their purchase acts to make informed choices. It is also relevant to involve them so that they feel an essential part in choosing brands with better practices throughout the chain of the production cycle. 

Did you face challenges during the pandemic? And how did you deal with them?

Yes, of course, and at that stage, we invested in the production of personal protective equipment and products related to medicine and health, proving our ability to adapt to new situations and the flexibility of our team and production processes when developing new types of products.

What’s next for Polopique? What direction do you see your company taking in the coming years?

Continuing to surprise the market with innovations through constant R&D practices, taking advantage of new raw materials and production processes. Also reinforcing the weight and presence in new markets and business areas, namely in home textiles.

How important is it to be unique yet still have a recognizable factor in your work?

Very important. Polopiqué is flexible and proud to find solutions to most of our customer’s requests. Furthermore, by controlling all stages of the production process, we can guarantee higher quality standards and better agility.

Business, inspiration and industry exchange – this is what awaits you at FABRIC DAYS from 1 – 3 September 2020 at MOC Munich. Start now to plan your safe visit at FABRIC DAYS and browse our collections ahead of the show.

We feel the need and the enthusiasm of the industry to meet face to face again and to gather new inspiration. At FABRIC DAYS, you get the chance to meet your suppliers in person and to experience fabrics and accessories in real life. Use the three fair days for collection design, exchange and inspiration!

We want to provide you and the industry with the right tools to return to business: a professional event, our selected portfolio and an inspirational trend forum. Now it’s your turn: Share the HOPETIMISM spirit and the need to take action again with us.

We are very motivated to organise the first textile trade fair after lockdown as we enter the final stages of organisation. FABRIC DAYS will present a select portfolio of around 700 collections presented by 300 significant German and European exhibitors. Novelties for Autumn.Winter 21/22 are presented across 5 sections: Fabrics, Additionals, Denim & Sportswear, Innovations and Sourcing.

Autumn.Winter 21/22 novelties from (f.l.t.r.): Pongees, Leadford & Logan, Ercea International, E. Miroglio, Bitzer u. Single

Most of the participating manufacturers at FABRIC DAYS are our established partners with sometimes decades of experience exhibiting at our MUNICH FABRIC START shows. But we also have some very exciting “new entries” this season like Vialaton Martin & Fils in the Fabrics area, Bartateks Tekstil in the Denim area, Smartfiber AG at Innovations and Le Studio Copenhagen in our Design Studios area. We are very thankful for the trust the industry has in us – be it manufacturers who have supported us over the years or exhibitors who are brave enough to participate the first time during these challenging times.

Plan your trade fair visit now by browsing all exhibitors and get an overview of the offer in our BRAND SEARCH.

Now also available for FABRIC DAYS, you can also get additional information about exhibitors and the trade fair via our official MUNICH FABRIC START TRADE FAIR APP – available for download in all App Stores. The app launched in 2019 offers the chance to plan your visit before the show and collect exhibitor information during as well as after the fair.

Please be sure that we are well aware of the great responsibility and challenge that comes with organising an event in the current times. We have implemented extensive measures and hygiene rules, which go beyond local and international requirements, in order to minimize the risk of infection on site.

The entire planning and layout of the fair areas is designed to prevent crowding while considering the valid hygiene and safety measures. We have limited the exhibition space to the easily accessible halls 1 – 4 on the ground floor of the MOC with corresponding aisle widths throughout as well as defined entrance and exit areas. All necessary precautions are taken to ensure the minimum distance of 1.5m can be maintained at all times. We have also switched to purely digital ticketing with controlled access points by only trade professionals in order to minimise contact.

You can find our Hygiene and Safety FAQ as well as regular Covid-19 updates via the FABRIC DAYS homepage before the show as well as on site via suitable media and specially trained personnel.

Our tip: Arrange appointments with your most important partners now in advance and divide your team in the best possible way – then, alongside the measures taken regarding infection protection, there is nothing standing in the way of a safe and relaxed visit to the fair.

In addition to the select exhibitor portfolio, we were able to organise an informative trend forum under the seasonal title HOPETIMISM at FABRIC DAYS. You will have the chance to get an insight into the trend themes and be inspired for your collection design and order planning. As well as the in-depth descriptions of each of our seasonal trend themes, the trend forum also includes relevant fabrics from our exhibiting manufacturers. Detailed insights into our trend themes, their influences and seasonal colours can also be found in our TREND FORECAST for Autumn.Winter 21/22 – now available for sale.

What’s left is to organize your arrival and your stay in Munich. We are also having some tips for you about these topics – have a look at our DIRECTIONS & PARKING and our HOTEL RECOMMENDATIONS. We can’t wait to see you at FABRIC DAYS!

BOSSA – H1 | B 21

Bossa strives to promote responsible change in the industry. With the D-CHRONICLES concept, a collaboration between Bossa and Fibretrace, Bossa views the future of sustainability as: transparency, trust and traceability. The concept uses the blockchain based ID system by Fibretrace technology, which follows a product from farm to shelf and chronicles its history securely with blockchain. Bossa, which has transparently detailed its production figures for the last three years with “Towards Zero Waste” booklet, will continue to report its production values annually. The Turkish textile company has increased the use of recycled fibers in the raw material blend required for denim fabric and is starting to use all of its textile waste in its blends by restructuring or cleaning them which are next steps “Towards Zero Waste”.

The Autumn.Winter 21/22 collection at Bossa is divided into 5 groups: The first concept, “Heritage”, is inspired by denim origins in combination with technology innovation. The super soft and performance denims of the second concept “Workout” bridge the gap between regular denim and active wear. The “Luxury shades” concept includes premium denims with natural elegance through new fibers, clean surfaces, draping and silhouettes. Timeless jeans in dark tones are presented in the forth concept “Dark Side”. Bossa created different denim combinations with warm colours for cold days in the fifth concept “Fall in Love”.

KILIM DENIM  – H1 | C 20

The Kilim Denim Autumn.Winter 21/22 collection focuses on combining new shades and trendy finishes with functional and innovative solutions. Developing new collections involves research and challenging the boundaries of design and technology. With every season, Kilim Denim operates under high environmental and social standards. The Turkish weaving factory highlights the “Vintage Core” and “Shape Core” collections that present high elasticity with trendy looks. The “1986” and “Ageless” collections reflect the vintage and positive sense of the 80s and 90s era. The “Recreate” collection is produced from recycled yarns due to Kilim Denim’s confidence in a circular economy and acute responsibility to use resources respectfully.
