Ms. Annabelle Hutter, Managing Director of Säntis Textiles AG (Switzerland), said that “the textile trade has transformed immensely in the past 20-30 years. Production of apparel and home textiles have moved to a large extent to Asia, new markets for circular as well as technical textiles have emerged or digital or environmental requirements and changes have reshaped the industry. What has not changed is the need to be connected personally with colleagues from the industry around the world. The ITMF is a special forum for industry representatives from around the world to meet and to discuss new ideas and solutions. In addition, ITMF offers its members information that help to better understand the dynamics of the industry. Säntis Textiles appreciated attending the ITMF Annual Conference 2022 in Davos, where interesting topics were discussed and personal contacts could be strengthened.”

A network of personal relations is precious, when it comes to understand and navigate through the complex global textile industry. ITMF and all ITMF members will benefit from Säntis Textiles’ unique expertise and experience in developing and sourcing textile products around the world.
