Strickzella has developed moth-resistant, ultra-fine merino wool
Finally no more moths in the merino wool
PERO, a wool yarn doped with scent, is the world's first wool yarn with built-in reliable protection against feeding by pesky clothes moths (Tineola bisselliella). The process of protecting wool against insects has been developed by Strick Zella in recent years and is patented now. For this purpose, the ultra-fine merino wool fibers are mixed with Lyocell fibers in a very small proportion (3%).

Fair TechTextil to be postponed until 2022
Now the leading international trade fair for technical textiles and nonwovens has also been cancelled for 2021
As the coordination team of the SmartTex network, we have been informed by Messe Frankfurt that TechTextil, planned for 4-7 May 2021, will be postponed until next year. Due to the ongoing pandemic, it is not possible for international exhibitors to plan and probably not yet allowed to organise a large trade fair. For several years now, member companies of the SmartTex network have been presenting their new technical textiles, functional apparel textiles and textile technologies on a joint stand.
Cancellation of our international smart textiles conference InMotion2021
The planned alternative date in October 2021 is also not possible
Since InMotion2020 could not take place in April 2020 due to the Corona pandemic, we had planned a new "Smart Textiles International Conference" for 2021. Now virulogens and politicians are warning of the 3rd Corona wave and we have to realise that such an international conference with guests from all over the world is not feasible under the current conditions. We hope that we can make up for this event in 2022.
