FUZHOU, China – As the apparel and textile sectors continue to evolve toward higher-end and more sustainable production, Barmag, a subsidiary of the Rieter Group, recently hosted a major industry gathering to showcase advancements in man-made fiber (MMF) technology.
The “Customer Day” event, held in Fuzhou on June 28, 2026, brought together nearly one hundred key stakeholders from Fujian and Guangdong—China’s two primary hubs for polyamide manufacturing—to explore the future of chemical fiber production.
Representatives from SSM and Temco, sister brands within the Rieter Group, also participated as “new colleagues”. Their presence underscores Rieter’s strategic ambition and its comprehensive capabilities to develop integrated, full-textile-chain solutions following its acquisition of Barmag.
