3 India is a key trade partner for Flanders, the region responsible for over 90% of the Belgium-India bilateral trade. This may not come as a surprise as the Flemish government is committed to encouraging growth, innovation and creativity, and to reinforcing Flanders as a region that inspires entrepreneurs, investors and companies a region that welcomes international opportunities and offers companies an optimal operating base for their global activities. In 2009, total Flemish exports to India amounted to 4.3 billion euro, of which machinery exports represented 272 million Euro or 6.23%. Machinery from Flanders in a sense supports the continued growth and development of the Indian industry. As such we are proud to be part of the Indian success story. Flemish machinery exports to India have grown continuously since 2000 and textile machinery in particular have been successful, contributing to the competitiveness and sustainability of the Indian textile industry, the second largest employer in India. Today, Flanders is also an important trade partner for India. In 2009, Flemish imports from India reached billion Euro of which textiles represented 240 million Euro or 9.38%. During the upcoming Belgian textile machinery road show in India, top Belgian manufacturers will showcase their latest technological developments to enable the Indian textile industry to strengthen its position in the global textile trade. I am convinced their high-tech products will be able to enhance your business endeavors. Kris Peeters, minister-president of the government of Flanders I am happy to welcome the Belgian textile machinery in India. The Indian textile industry is fast growing. Textile manufacturing is the second largest source for employment after agriculture and accounts for 26% of manufacturing output. Over the last ten years, fabric production increased with 40% and yarn production with 35%. Over the same period, textiles export doubled. To sustain that growth and increase its competitiveness, India needs the newest textile technology. Belgian textile technology is highly regarded worldwide. Government of India has set an ambitious target of investing over 50 Bn US$ by 2020 in technology upgradation and capacity expansion. Therefore, we welcome this Belgian textile technology road show and are eager to learn about the latest technological developments that can support our textile industry. Dr.K.Selvaraju, SIMA Secretary General 3

4 B e l g i a n mechat r o n i c s industry The mechatronics industry is the fastest growing industrial sector measured by employment in Belgium. The last 5 years an annual growth rate of 4.5% was achieved and the Belgian mechatronics industry was able to increase its EU market share with 10%. An important driver for that performance was the doubling of investments in the mechatronics industry over the period. To position its customers in the pole, the Belgian mechatronics industry is strongly R&D driven. It invests 7% of its added value on R&D and employs over 10% of the total Belgian research head count. The industry accelerated its research efforts on energy efficiency in the last decade and achieved an average energy consumption reduction for its products of 15%. The long term strategy directs the Belgian mechatronics industry towards continuous strategic and open innovation to accelerate its product development rate and provide its customers with leading edge technology. The Belgian mechatronics industry is the nation s 3th exporter. B e l g i a n textile machinery industry The Belgian textile machinery industry counts 50 companies, has a turnover of 850 Mio euro and a headcount of Its companies are active in machinery for indoor textiles (carpet, upholstery, velvet, table bed linen ), garment textiles, technical textiles and textile finishing. Belgium produces the fastest airjet weaving machines in the world. The Belgian textile machinery companies pursue technological leadership strategies. That approach is materialized in the continuous presence of textile machinery companies in the top 5 of Belgian patent applications. The industry is strongly export driven with a core of high-tech demanding EU customers for fast cross sectorial product development, in addition to our main export markets being the European Union, United States, China and India.

17 TITAN BARATTO CORNELY, member of the van de wiele group Specialists in customized solutions W e av i n g The company DE KONINCK NV develops and produces specialised industrial sewing machines which are used in 4 different markets : Carpet finishing, Home textiles, Technical textiles and Fashion embroidery. The company is member of the Michel Van De Wiele group. Due to an interactive multidisciplinary approach the company is pursuing the development of its new product lines. It also controls the quality of each part made in its own fully automatic production facility, and finally it is selling its products and special sewing solutions worldwide, in close collaboration with its customers. An innovative product is the TITAN DK 2500HLX to finish high quality carpets with an ultra small over-edging stitch, which resembles a handloom carpet finishing. The machine has build in electronics and pneumatics to improve the quality of the stitching and makes the machine very user friendly. Another innovation is the TITAN DK 2500 SHAGGY machine. This system has been specially developed for the finishing of high pile heavy carpets such as Shaggy carpets. Due to the new special puller and ultra heavy cutting system and other improvements the most difficult high pile carpet qualities can be easily finished. In the same line of thinking a complementary and completely improved tape binding machine has been developed: TITAN DK 3700C- SHAGGY. A special folder, combined with special electronic motor and sensors and improved puller system allows for a perfect finish of high pile heavy carpets with tape from 25 mm up to 150 mm. Another innovative product is the TITAN DK 3200 fast fringing machine. This machine exist in left and right-hand versions and can used for automation. The production of this model is 50% higher then the traditional TITAN DK 2200 fringer. Automation is the future of industry. The fully automatic carpet over-edging machine TITAN DK 4600M2 is a perfect example. This large robotised unit will bring a small revolution to the finishing of all types of carpets. The system is automatically cutting the woven carpets from the roll and is presenting the cut carpet to the sewing unit. A first robot arm is taking the carpet and brings it in the sewing centre. The carpets are finished fully automatically, no programming of the dimensions is necessary. A special electromechanical development allows the machine to sew perfect SQUARE CORNERS. The threads are cut, and the last stitch is fixed. The finished carpet is taken away by an independent second robot arm and is stacked on a pallet. Meanwhile a new carpet is cut and the first robot arm brings the next carpet to the sewing centre. One operator can easily supervise the production of 4 automatic TITAN DK 4600M2 machines. The system is modular and can be coupled with rolling up or packaging machines. The machine can be ordered in medium size : for finishing carpets of maximum dimension of 100 X 150 cm. And in X-large size : for carpets of 200 x 17

18 W e av i n g 300 cm. The machine has an full windows operated computer integrated. This means that this production machine can simply but put in your IT-network. And a special program allows for instant reporting of the production to the production supervisor and other departments (like shipping or sales) On the Home textiles market the CORNELY 18 machine fits in perfectly. Due to a special mechanism, this unique machine is making a ladder stitch of 3 mm in one operation, in one or double layered fabric. Previously this stitch could only be obtained in two operations, and was not possible in double layers.

19 Market leader in pile weaving technology for Carpet and Velvet weaving machines W e av i n g Van de Wiele develops, builds, assembles and installs carpet and velvet weaving machines and weaving machines for technical fabrics. Carpet and velvet consist like flat weaves of warp and weft yarns, but have an additional third dimension: the pile yarns. Thanks to this unique weaving technique, our weaving machines can weave high-grade carpets and the finest velvets since 1880, in weaving mills all over the world. During these years, Van de Wiele has been growing constantly. Together with Bonas, IRO-ROJ, Memminger-IRO, Titan and Aros electronics we share our knowledge and expertise in the broad area of textile technology. Carpet has a broad range of applications : sized rugs, wall-to-wall carpet, bath rugs, prayer rugs,... The Van de Wiele carpet weaving machines weave for all these applications carpets from the most economical to the highest qualities up to 5 meter wide in all pile materials : polypropylene, pp heat set, wool, acrylic,... The main applications of velvet are upholstery, apparel and automotive. The Van de Wiele velvet weaving machines exist in an execution for plain or dobby velvet and an executions for Jacquard velvet. For technical fabrics, the weaving process allows to create dense layers and with connections between the layers. M e m e b e r Symat e x P r o d u c t s C a r p e t weav i n g machines The Carpet & Rug Pioneer CRP is the newest generation of face-to-face carpet weaving machines. The Carpet & Rug Pioneer exists in a double and triple rapier execution, respectively the CRP92 and CRP93. This high productive carpet weaving machine is able to weave a broad range of different carpet qualities in different pile materials (polypropylene, wool, acrylic,...). The CRP is equipped with full electronic control, including an electronic Jacquard machine, machine control with touch screen, The Hand Look Pioneer HCPX2 is the only 3 rapier carpet weaving machine that can weave carpets with a backside like hand knotted carpets, this means without visible ground warp yarns at the back of the carpet. This high quality carpet is woven with a 3 shot weave structure with 50% higher output as on a double rapier machine. The Universal Cut Loop UCP93 is the most flexible carpet weaving machine to weave face-to-face carpets with cut pile, soft short loops, soft long loops and flat weave effects. Thanks to the unique three rapier technique, two identical carpets can be woven. A long pile version is the Universal Cut Loop Shaggy Pioneer USP93. To fulfil the growing fashion to long pile carpets, Van de Wiele has developed the Shaggy Rug Pioneer SRP92. This double rapier machine can weave carpets with a pile height up to 2x70mm. Also artificial grass can be woven and becomes more and more popular. 19

20 M e m e b e r Symat e x W e av i n g Another application of the patented three rapier weaving technique is the Sisal Look Pioneer SLP93 to weave two sisal look carpets at the same time. In sisal look carpets, the pile yarns float over one or more thick fillings to give relief to the carpet. The fillings can have different colours as well if the loom is equipped with filling selector. Weaving loop pile carpets for area rugs, wall-to-wall carpet and airplane carpet can be done on the Carpet Loop Pile Pioneer CLP91. This technique with lancets and dummy filling has already proofed itself during many yarns. The production is at least 3 times bigger than on a conventional wire weaving machine. The Master in Axminster MAX91 is The first Axminster weaving machine that has really been developed for weaving heavy Axminster carpets at high speed. The machine weaves carpets in pitch 7 (7 reed dents per inch) with up to 16 colours. The bearing free grippers insert the selected pile yarns in the woven ground fabric. The Axminster carpet has no incorporated pile yarns and can weave names and logos. Axminster carpets are used for area rugs as well as wall-to-wall carpet. With adapted set-up we can even weave handlook carpets. V e lv e t weav i n g machines The market for velvet is growing. This is proven by recent orders in Italy, Morocco, Germany, Belgium, India, the Far East,... The flexibility combined with the high speed of the Velvet Tronic allows the velvet industry to fulfil the severe market demands of quality and delivery time. The Velvet Tronic VTR33 is the Jacquard execution of the Velvet Tronic. The VTR33 is equipped with an electronic Jacquard machine. Depending on the execution, the machine can weave Italian or free design velvet, light weight carpets, buscloathing, automotive,... in different pile materials: acrylic, viscose, cotton, silk, polyester,... and qualities. T e c h n i c a l Fabrics machines The VTR42 is a weaving machine specially conceived to weave technical fabrics for car, building and shipping industry.
