TMAS member ReSpin selected for CEMATEX Start-Up Grant at ITMA 2027
CEMATEX, The European Committee of Textile Machinery Manufacturers, has selected 20 emerging start-ups from nine countries to receive the CEMATEX Start-Up Grant and showcase their innovations at Start-Up Valley during ITMA 2027 in Hanover. Among the selected startups is the Swedish textile recycling company ReSpin, members of TMAS.
The selected start-ups span six product areas: Colourants & Chemicals, Fibres, Yarns and Fabrics, Garment Making, Recycling, Software & Automation, and Testing. While they address different challenges across the value chain, they share a common focus on sustainability and circularity.
ReSpin has developed a patented mechanical recycling technology that converts textile waste into new fibers suitable for yarn production, supporting the creation of circular textile value chains.
The participation by all selected start-ups will be fully funded by CEMATEX, giving promising early-stage companies access to the world’s leading textile and garment technology platform. At ITMA 2027, the 20 start-ups will showcase their innovations alongside established technology manufacturers from across the textile and garment manufacturing value chain. This creates opportunities for direct engagement with manufacturers, brands, investors, research organisations and technology partners who can move their technologies into commercial use.
