The Swedish Textile Machinery Fair (STM) returns for the second time Swedish School of Textiles. This meeting place for sustainable textile production spans two days, featuring open labs, visiting exhibitors, and exciting discussions about the future of local textile production. Welcome to an exciting update on the technology and expertise in AI, automation, digitization, recycling, and traceability that is available in Sweden today!

About STM

Interest in local textile production in Sweden is growing. Advantages such as automation and AI, cutting-edge machines and technology, and knowledge of the need to implement sustainability in everything from material selection to production and distribution provide excellent conditions for moving all or part of production back home. Therefore, we gather machine manufacturers, textile producers, students, and other stakeholders for a Swedish textile machinery fair where we can showcase new machine technology, share knowledge, and increase collaboration in the industry.

On-site, you can meet Swedish manufacturers of cutting-edge textile machinery and representatives of international machine brands. There will be opportunities to see machines in operation in Swedish School of Textile’s labs, participate in presentations about the latest machine technology across the entire value chain, and network with industry players.
