We believe in competence – the need for specialized information is greater than ever. We want to satisfy this need by increasingly reporting cross-medially and reaching our readers as well as users in a flexible way – on the road, at your workplace and of course also in your home office. We have merged our online platforms techtexTRENDS and nonwovensTRENDS and have launched our new information hub www.textiletechnology.net. All our trade media (Chemical Fibers International, melliand International, Technical Textiles/Technische Textilien, melliand Textilberichte) have found their digital home here. In this way, we combine competence and speed and offer our readers/users a complete information network and their “daily dose of specialist information”. Source
