TITAS 2009 came to a successful close on October 16 with satisfied exhibitors and
buyers. Organized by the Taiwan textile exhibition Federation (TTF) with support from the
Bureau of Foreign Trade, Ministry of Economic Affairs, the 3-day show attracted
20,288 professional visits from 41 countries and regions, a growth of 3.7% from last
year. Untouched by the economic storm, the number of exhibitors hit a record high of
325 in recent years. The one-on-one trade meetings were, in particular, widely
acclaimed by participating exhibitors, so much so that some of the companies who
had missed to showcase at TITAS this year already made an early registration for next
year’s appointment. According to TTF, the show created business opportunities worth
over 1 billion NT dollars.
TTF indicated that the success of TITAS 2009 lied in the great versatility in
innovative products. International buyers were impressed by the creativity and
originality of the exhibits. The products that wowed the visitors most included the
high wet modulus rayon staple fiber Formotex by Formosa Chemicals & Fibre; the
coldblack® technology by Formosa Taffeta; the 3-in-1 D&H Fiber by Far Eastern
Group, featuring UV protective, antibacterial and moisture transferring; the
"Spiral-Light" PU webbing design by Paiho; the multi-functional Dreamfel® fiber by
Tri-Ocean; private label TEXCARE by Haojey; the functional fabrics for casual wear
by Taiwan Taffeta; DAAI Yarn using recycled PET fiber by DAAI Technology; and
the coconut charcoal fiber by Ho Yu.
TITAS 2009 weathered the economic storm by attracting over hundreds of buyers
from globally renowned brands. 440 one-on-one trade meetings were arranged to
serve as the matchmaking platform for suppliers and buyers. Many buyers expressed
their appreciation for this efficient and fruitful arrangement.
Johanna Back, Fabric Manager from Norwegian brand Helly Hansen, said: “When it
comes to manufacturing process, Helly Hansen has strict standards on lowering
environmental impact. My first trip to Taiwan explores for us many new and potential
suppliers.”
Sylvain Ruffier, textile exhibition and Accessories Buying Purchaser from French brand Lafuma
and also a first-timer to Taiwan, added: “I am very much impressed with Taiwan’s
eco textile exhibition . With reasonable prices, the green products at the show can bring great
2
business.”
“It is exciting to visit TITAS. With outstanding technologies in textile exhibition development,
Taiwan is able to compete with Japan in the arena of functional textile exhibition ,” said Kelvin
Meeks, Design Materials Manager of American outdoor clothing brand Marmot.
Lanny Han, Vice General Manager of Toread, the third outdoor equipment and goods
brand in China, expressed great interest in water proof, breathable and light-weighted
materials during his first visit to TITAS. "Taiwan's textile exhibition industry enjoys the
advantages of advanced technology and excellent and reliable product quality.
Price remains to be a key factor in international marketplace," Han added.
Since the acquisition by Northland China in 2003, Austrian outdoor apparel brand
Northland has expanded its retail spores in China to 250. According to Jacky Rao,
Director of Production of Northland, “Taiwan's functional textile exhibition industry can sharpen
its competitive edge with unique products and technologies.”

Textile & apparel fair information
Vestagen Technical Textiles announces its inaugural participation in the 50th annual Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and Chemotherapy (ICAAC) this week, hosted by The American Society for Microbiology. Vestagen will exhibit its fluid repellant Vestex™ performance medical apparel at the conference, which will also be the subject of a poster session with Dr. Ruta Dubinskaite. Textile & apparel fair information
Vestex uses exclusively licensed and patented technology to repel blood and bodily fluids, wick away perspiration and contains an antimicrobial to control odors. The innovative, nanotechnology-based uniforms keep healthcare workers clean, cool and dry. Textile & apparel fair information
Earlier this year, a research team led by Dr. Ruta Dubinskaite, Margaret Cotton, Dr. Christopher Gibson, Dr. Thomas Walsh, Dr. Shmuel Shoham and Dr. Matthew Hardwick tested Vestex in emergency rooms and critical care departments where splashes and splatters of bodily fluids are daily occurrences. To evaluate the impact of Vestex fabric treatment on healthcare worker clothing, doctors tested shirts with one half control fabric and one half Vestex fabric Textile & apparel fair information.
Twenty-nine shirts were autoclaved and given to health care workers in the emergency and critical care departments at Washington Hospital Center. Workers wore the scrub shirts for one eight- to 12-hour shift. Shirt microbial contamination was assessed at baseline and at the end of the shift by swabbing 12 distinct areas of the garments for culture. Total colony counts of cultures from each shirt compared the Vestex treated portion to the untreated portion. Overall, the Vestex-treated portion of the scrub shirts had fewer pathogens at the end of the shift than the control fabric. Researchers concluded that there is, “a strong trend suggesting that Vestex treated garments are more effective at reducing microbial burden than control fabric.” Textile & apparel fair information
“The results are encouraging and add to the clinical and laboratory evidence base for Vestex,” says Ben Favret, president and CEO of Vestagen. Textile & apparel fair information
Engineered as a first line of defense against blood and other bodily fluids, Vestex comes at a time when the nation’s healthcare industry is on high alert. Mounting data suggests that microbial contamination can occur via the physical transfer of microorganisms from textiles such as scrubs, lab coats and bed linens. Textile & apparel fair information
“It’s well documented in the medical literature that fluid barriers protect workers in a clinical setting, but most of them are hot and uncomfortable to wear,” Favret adds. “Vestex is a breathable, comfortable solution, yet maintains the barrier protection workers need to stay safe.”
As an innovator in infectious disease prevention and patient safety, the University of South Florida College of Medicine's Division of Infectious Disease and International Medicine is instituting high-tech, fluid repellant Vestex™ lab coats for its physicians and advanced clinical staff. Engineered as a first line of defense against blood and other bodily fluids, Vestex will help prevent contamination of clothing in healthcare textiles. Textile & apparel fair information
"We are committed to excellence in healthcare and that begins with safety for our patients and our employees," says John Sinnott, MD, FACP, FISDA, associate dean and division director. "As the latest advance in textile technology, Vestex will be another instrument in our quest for innovation. This is the next step in our mission to be an internationally outstanding academic center and resource for infectious disease identification, prevention and treatment issues."
As the principal infectious disease organization in Florida, the division conducts research, analyzes infectious disease policies, and provides clinical care and training to healthcare workers both locally and throughout the world. Sinnott is a Fellow of the American College of Physicians and the Infectious Disease Society of America. Textile & apparel fair information
Developed by Orlando-based Vestagen Technical Textiles, Vestex uses exclusively licensed and patented technology to repel blood and bodily fluids, wick away perspiration, guard against degradation from microorganisms, and control odors. The innovative, nanotechnology-based textile helps prevent contamination of the clothing while keeping the wearer clean, cool and dry. Textile & apparel fair information
"Frequent exposure of healthcare workers to contaminants is predictable in high patient-contact areas like infectious disease units," said Ben Favret, president and CEO of Vestagen. "Vestex will help keep physicians safe from unpredictable spills or splatters that may occur and introduce a new level of protection."

Abstract hi tech history
The discrepancy of performance among competitive athletes is getting smaller and smaller. Therefore wearing high tech textile could help to get advantage over competitors. For this reason a lot of investigation has been done on developing high tech textiles that support the athletes to better performance. The aims of this study were to give an overview on the available products and to evaluate their level of innovation. Furthermore the research project should reveal which products are effectively used in trainings and competition. Finally the study elicits the status of current research and shows prospective research potential. hi tech history

AKO-O adopts bluesign for environmental friendly textiles

Two is better than one: In addition to the Oeko-Texlogo, JAKO-O now adopts the bluesign standard with respect to the environmental friendliness of textile products. As Bettina Peetz, Director of JAKO-O states, "Clothing marked with the bluesign logo guarantees that the entire manufacturing process is not harmful to health AND is absolutely environmentally friendly." Through this, the catalog company for savvy children's items adopts its special responsibility for the future of children and the environment.
eco friendly textile According to Bettina Peetz, JAKO-O will continue to expand the choice of bluesign-certified products: "The goal is to have as much of our functional and outdoor collection certified as possible". Customers already see the "Oeko-Tex Standard 100" sign for textiles that do not pose a hazard to health on almost every piece of JAKO-O clothing. A great number of textiles even belong to Product Class 1 for baby products and with this, fulfill the strictest Oeko-Texrequirements.
eco friendly textile As Bettina Peetz, head of JAKO-O, emphasizes, "With the help of bluesign, we would like to convince our vendors of the benefits of saving scarce resources such as water and energy as well as replacing dangerous chemicals. In addition, production processes shall be optimized in order to reduce dangers for employees and customers".
JAKO-O continues its engagement in environmental and consumer protection through cooperation with bluesign: JAKO-O was certified according to the EC ECO-Audit Ordinance in 1999 as the first toy manufacturer. Together with TUV Rheinland, JAKO-O has also developed an expanded test program for material substances in shoes.
Environmental friendliness that carries logos: bluesign and Oeko-Tex
In contrast to Oeko-Tex Standard 100, in which the adherence of the limiting values for the chemicals that are used is checked, the end product is not the only thing evaluated by the bluesign standard. Rather, the entire production process is assessed - from the raw materials and the chemical components that are used through to the water and energy consumption and safety in the workplace. The bluesigncertificate is awarded independent of the manufacturers by Bluesign Technologies AG with registered office in Switzerland.
JAKO-O GmbH was founded in 1987 and belongs to the HABA corporate family in addition to the toy manufacturer, HABA, and the kindergarten and school furnisher, Wehrfritz. The owner and managing partner is Klaus Habermaass. Since 2004 JAKO-O has been developing new target groups with the Qiero! and FIT-Z sales divisions: While JAKO-O is aimed at children under 10 years of age, FIT-Z targets the youth ages of 10 to 16. Qiero! offers fashion for adults.
The HABA eco friendly textile corporate family employs approximately 1800 employees in Bad Rodach (Upper Franconia) in northern Bavaria. The entire HABA corporate family has been honored several times for its family friendly company policy with the 'Audit berufundfamilie ' certificate (German Career and Family Audit certificate), an initiative of the non-profit Hertie Foundation.
