Dilo Group to Showcase Advanced Needling Solutions at ITMA Asia 2025
Dilo and Kansan Materials to highlight next-generation nonwoven technologies and innovations in lightweight and patterned needled fabrics.
At ITMA Asia Singapore 2025, Dilo Group will present its cutting-edge needling technology and sustainable solutions for high-performance nonwovens, including new machinery, innovative patterning, and software advancements.
Dilo Group, in collaboration with Kansan Materials, Izmir, is set to participate at ITMA ASIA + CITME Singapore 2025 from October 28–31 at Booth No. H2–D202. The companies invite visitors to explore their latest innovations, including advanced nonwoven machinery, complete line solutions, and research-based product samples. Dilo will also highlight updates in service, software, and emerging areas of expertise across its group companies—Temafa, Spinnbau, DiloMachines, DiloSystems, and DG Engineering.
As a pioneer in needling technology, Dilo has maintained its leadership for decades through continuous innovation and process optimization. The company’s state-of-the-art machinery enables cost-efficient nonwoven production with low energy consumption, addressing diverse applications. Special focus will be given to lightweight nonwoven products below 100 g/sqm, designed for hygiene, cosmetic, and medical uses. Dilo offers comprehensive needling lines with high throughput fiber preparation, precise card feeding, high-speed carding, and advanced crosslapping to ensure a balanced MD/CD ratio of 1:1.
The MicroPunch model series supports ultra-light product weights of around 30 g/sqm, achieved through mechanical consolidation or in combination with light thermobonding. This provides versatile production flexibility for varying product parameters. Dilo’s Technical Research Centre offers demonstrations and product development support for interested customers.
During the exhibition, Dilo will showcase samples from both ends of the needled product spectrum—from lightweight applications to heavy nonwovens weighing up to 5,000 g/sqm, used in acoustic panels and heat insulation materials.
A standout innovation is Dilo’s 3D-Lofter technique, which combines additive fiber layering with the DILOUR structuring process to create visually striking and modern patterned designs. This approach allows the creation of “sliding color” effects by varying fiber mass in machine and cross directions—an appealing feature for designers and architects in sectors like interior design, hospitality, and architecture. The same technology supports automotive applications, such as molded car interiors, with optimized fiber usage for lightweight components.
Additionally, Dilo will present the IsoFeed VRS card feeder, capable of delivering low web weights with improved uniformity, and two advanced needle loom systems—PowerPunch and SuperPunch. The PowerPunch reduces machine vibration significantly, while SuperPunch, a dual HyperPunch drive mechanism, enhances throughput at low drafts with cost efficiency.
Dilo continues to advance needle punch technology, emphasizing higher productivity, superior quality, and wider weight ranges—from ultra-light to ultra-heavy nonwovens. The process remains eco-efficient, requiring minimal energy and no water usage.
The company has also expanded its service portfolio with the MODILOUS needle board system, designed to lower costs related to needle replacement and maintenance.
Visitors can experience these latest innovations and insights in modern needling technology at Dilo Group’s booth during ITMA ASIA Singapore 2025.
