Texprocess Innovation Award 2026
We are proud to announce that the joint project CryoTec has been awarded the Texprocess Innovation Award 2026 in the category "Economic Quality" (cost minimization, time and process optimization, automation).
This is a great joint success for all project partners and underlines the results of close and extremely productive cooperation in the further development of intelligent textile automation.
We are very honored by this recognition, as is the entire Institute of Textile Machinery and High Performance Material Technology (ITM) at TU Dresden.
CryoTec introduces a novel approach to textile handling that is based on the adhesive effect of ice and enables gentle, full-surface and reversible gripping of sensitive materials.
We would like to thank all partners for their excellent cooperation:

We look forward to presenting CryoTec for the first time worldwide at Texprocess 2026.
