Picanol is participating in ITM 2026 and will present its latest innovations to the visitors in Hall 8, booth 802 including the Ultimax, OmniPlus‑i Connect and PicConnect
Experience top‑level weaving performance with the Ultimax
Designed with sustainability as a core principle and equipped with a high degree of digitalization, the Ultimax rapier weaving machine offers an unprecedented level of ease of use.
“It is a highly focused and razor‑sharp machine that is ready to run at audacious speeds and delivering top‑quality output,” the Belgian advanced weaving machine manufacturer said in a press release.
“At ITM 2026, two of our Ultimax weaving machines will be on display, each featuring a wide range of options. One of the machines will be weaving denim fabric, while the other one will be weaving voile fabric,” Picanol added.
Picanol’s next generation of OmniPlus‑i Connect
At the end of 2025, Picanol launched the next-generation OmniPlus-i Connect, which set a new benchmark in airjet weaving technology and will be demonstrated weaving poplin fabrics.
This latest evolution of the trusted platform demonstrates how Picanol continues to deliver innovative, performance-driven solutions to meet the evolving challenges faced by modern weaving mills.
Thanks to a complete redesign and optimization of key machine components, Picanol achieved an impressive energy saving of up to 1.5 kW per machine.
This breakthrough innovation, which is called EcoBoost, has drastically reduced the energy consumption of weaving machines, making it a real game-changer for customers who focus on realizing sustainability and cost control.
