At SaigonTex 2025, running from April 9-12 in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, Monforts is highlighting its cutting-edge finishing technologies for denim. With over 900 Thermex hotflue dyeing systems in operation worldwide, many dedicated to denim production, the company is showcasing the benefits of its Econtrol and Econtrol T-CA processes.
Econtrol is a one-step continuous dyeing process that fixes reactive dyestuffs into woven cotton and cellulosic fabrics using a controlled mix of steam and air. The pad-dry process is completed within two-to-three minutes at 120-130°C with 25-30 per cent relative humidity, ensuring efficiency and high-quality results.
Monforts denim range solutions also enable gentle stretching and skewing, enhancing fabric reproducibility. Its ‘double rubber’ Thermex system, with two compressive shrinkage units and two felt calenders, is ideal for super elastic and bi-elastic materials. The ThermoStretch unit further optimizes drying, stretching, and skewing, integrating the EcoApplicator for minimal chemical use.
“These latest Monforts lines offer unmatched versatility and fast production turnaround,” says Hans Wroblowski, Monforts Head of Denim. He will be at the exhibition with Peja Vietnam, the company’s regional partner, at stand 1L01 in Hall A1.
Vietnam’s textile and apparel exports surged to $44 billion in 2024, surpassing Bangladesh. The industry is set for further growth in 2025, driven by lower labor costs and competitive tariffs. “Vietnam is a key market for us, and Peja Vietnam has been instrumental in supporting our success,” Wroblowski adds.
