Driving meaningful change in how textiles are developed, evaluated, and traded, emtec electronic will present its latest innovations at Techtextil Frankfurt 2026, Europe’s leading trade fair for technical textiles and nonwovens, taking place from April 21–24, 2026 at Messe Frankfurt. As a Germany-based technology provider, the event represents a true home game for emtec Electronic at one of the most influential textile innovation showcases worldwide – the ideal stage to demonstrate technologies that actively shape the future of the textile industry.
Leipzig, Germany, 24.02.2026 – At the center of emtec’s presence in Hall 12.0 at Booth A82 is the TSA Textile Sensation Analyzer, an award-winning solution recognized not only for measurement precision, but for its role as a changemaker in textile evaluation. By combining objective hand-feel measurement with a scalable cloud-based platform, TSA enables a fundamental shift from subjective assessment toward data-driven, transparent, and globally connected decision-making across the textile value chain. For that, the TSA has recently received two prestigious industry awards, confirming its outstanding innovation strength and market relevance:
Techtextil North America Innovation Award 2024 – New Product Category, recognizing TSA for its high degree of innovation, technological advancement, market relevance, and contribution to the evolution of objective textile evaluation methods.
Innovate Textile Awards 2025 – Winner of Changemaker, presented by WTiN, honoring groundbreaking technological contributions that drive transformative change within the textile and apparel industry. The award specifically recognizes solutions that demonstrate technological excellence, visionary innovation, sustainability-driven thinking, ethical responsibility, and a clear ability to shape the future of how fabrics are developed, evaluated, and utilized across textile value chains.
Beyond its proven hardware performance, TSA stands out for its future-oriented digital ecosystem. In combination with its cloud-based solution, the system evolves from a measurement device into a scalable digital platform. This enables users to store, compare, and benchmark textile hand data globally, paving the way for data-driven development, digital quality standards, and new forms of collaboration across companies and markets. By functioning as a digital marketplace and knowledge platform, the TSA cloud solution opens up entirely new possibilities for transparency, standardization, and value creation in the textile industry — making subjective textile perception objectively measurable, shareable, and tradable.
On site at booth number A82 in Hall 12.0, Markus Amthor from Global Business Development and Sales Area Manager Stefan Ruebesam will be available to demonstrate not only what the TSA can measure today, but what it can enable tomorrow to the textile experts at the Techtextil Frankfurt 2026.
