BW Converting, Archroma and Monforts will participate in IGATEX Pakistan 2026, taking place from October 15–18 at the Expo Centre Lahore. The companies will be represented at Al-Ameen Trading Corporation’s stand F-2-09 in Hall 2, where they will highlight precision spray-finishing technology, textile chemistry and application-development support.
The companies will provide visitors with an opportunity to discuss fabric and finishing requirements and explore plans to place a BW Converting laboratory-scale spray-finishing unit at Archroma’s Pakistan laboratory.
The planned local capability, combined with opportunities for larger-scale trials at Monforts’ Advanced Technology Center in Germany, is intended to support textile mills as they move from application development toward evaluating production investments.
“Pakistan has become an important market for precision spray finishing because mills are looking very closely at productivity, energy consumption, chemical use and process control,” said Yiannis Vasilonikolos, Global Sales Leader for Textiles, BW Converting. “IGATEX gives us an opportunity to discuss those priorities with manufacturers alongside Archroma and Monforts. Together, we can help mills explore how chemistry, precision application and finishing equipment can work together to meet their production requirements.”
BW Converting to Highlight Precision Spray Technology
BW Converting’s Baldwin TexCoat® G4 uses non-contact precision spray technology to apply a controlled and uniform quantity of chemistry to one or both sides of a fabric.
The system is designed to reduce wet pick-up by applying only the required amount of chemistry, thereby lowering the amount of water that subsequently needs to be removed during drying.
According to the companies, the technology is designed to reduce water, energy and chemical consumption, while supporting higher production speeds and improved process control.
Partnership Combines Application, Chemistry and Finishing Expertise
The collaboration brings together BW Converting’s precision application technology, Archroma’s textile chemistry and application expertise, and Monforts’ dyeing and finishing equipment expertise.
The companies will support the evaluation of finishing formulations, application parameters and production conditions as textile mills consider alternative finishing approaches.
“Application development is most effective when mills can work with technologies and chemistries under conditions that reflect their own production requirements,” said Jan Mohammad Khan, Segment Head Finishing, Archroma Pakistan. “By combining Archroma’s chemistry expertise with BW Converting’s precision spray technology, we can give customers in Pakistan a more direct way to explore new finishing approaches and assess the potential benefits for their own operations.”
Laboratory-Scale Capability Planned in Pakistan
Under the planned laboratory arrangement, BW Converting will place a laboratory-scale spray-finishing unit at Archroma’s facility in Pakistan.
Archroma will use the equipment for application development and internal trials with its textile chemistries. Customers and prospects will also be able to evaluate their own fabrics, applications and finishing requirements using precision spray technology.
Applications that progress successfully could then move to larger-scale production trials at Monforts’ Advanced Technology Center, connecting local laboratory development with industrial-scale testing.
“Moving a promising application from the laboratory to production means understanding how it performs across the finishing process,” said Manfred Havenith, Area Sales Manager, Monforts. “At our Advanced Technology Center, mills can explore how precision spray application and textile chemistry work together with fabric handling and thermal processing under production conditions. That opportunity complements the planned local capability at Archroma and helps manufacturers assess both the finished fabric and the production requirements behind it.”
Al-Ameen Trading Corporation to Provide Local Connection
Al-Ameen Trading Corporation represents BW Converting, Archroma and Monforts in Pakistan. The company provides a local connection for textile mills seeking technical support, application guidance and access to the respective technologies of the three companies.
Visitors to IGATEX Pakistan 2026 can meet the companies at stand F-2-09, Hall 2, Expo Centre Lahore, from October 15–18.
