Year-on-Year global fabric production down in Q2
The International Textile Manufacturers Federation (ITMF) released State of Trade Report for second quarter, 2011. Only as a result of higher output in Asia in general and China in particular global yarn production increased in the 2nd quarter of 2011 in comparison to the previous quarter. Also global fabric production rose in the 2nd quarter due to higher output in Asia and South America while production in Europe and North America fell.
It is important to note that production in the 1st quarter in China is traditionally lower as a result of fewer working days due to the Chinese New Year holidays. Compared with the previous year, global yarn production increased somewhat due to higher output in Asia and North America and despite lower production in South America and Europe while global fabric production dropped with all regions suffering declines except for South America.
Global yarn stocks soared in the 2nd quarter of 2011 compared with the previous quarter especially due to higher stocks in South America and Asia, while those in Europe and North America remained practically unchanged. Year-on-year yarn inventories jumped, especially in Asia and South America. Fabric stocks were up in North and South America in the 2nd quarter of 2011 as compared to the previous one, while those in Europe and Asia fell slightly.
On an annual basis fabric stocks jumped in North and South America, irrespective of slight falls in Europe and Asia. Global yarn and fabric orders fell in Europe and Brazil both in comparison with the previous quarter and with the 2nd quarter of 2010.
Estimates for yarn and fabric production in the 3rd quarter of 2011 in most countries is either negative or unchanged. In the 4th quarter the outlook for yarn and fabric production improves with most countries seeing higher or unchanged output levels.
Rieter Award Week 2011 – a resounding success
At the end of September 2011, Rieter conferred the coveted Rieter Award for the 22nd time on students and young professionals in the field of textile engineering. Seven prospective textile professionals were presented with the Award and again this year, the winners were invited to visit the Company’s headquarters in Switzerland.
Special this year was that following the visit to Switzerland, the journey continued on to Barcelona (Spain) for the Textile Machinery Exhibition ITMA 2011. The Award ceremony was then held in Barcelona.
In close cooperation with universities and professors worldwide, the Rieter Award Jury sought and found the Award winners for this year. The seven prizewinners 2011 are: Mr. Md Almirany from Bangladesh, Ms. Qin Wang from China, Mr. Avinash Kesaraju from India, Mr. Kashif Nadeem from Pakistan, Ms. Nazan Erdumli from Turkey, Ms. Nguyen Bao Quyen Le from Vietnam and Mr. Pavel Murychau from Belarus. Regrettably, Mr. Md Almirany from Bangladesh was not granted a visa and could therefore not participate in the Rieter Award week 2011.
Highlight was the visit to the ITMA 2011
The varied program for the Award week gave the winners an insight into Rieter’s products and production. In addition, personal contacts could be established in the Sales and Management. The tightly packed program included sightseeing in Switzerland and also in Barcelona.
At the traditional Rieter Agents Day prior to the ITMA, presentation of the Award by the Business Unit CEO Peter Gnägi was carried out. Of course, the following two days with the visit to the ITMA were a highlight for the young textile professionals.
