The Hofer Vliesstofftage 2026, also known as the Hof Nonwovens Days, bring the nonwovens industry together at Freiheitshalle Hof in Hof, Germany, on November 4–5, 2026. The 39th edition offers 21 expert presentations on energy efficiency, circular economy, and sustainability, plus more than 50 exhibitors and plenty of networking between producers, machine manufacturers, raw material suppliers, and users. Datacolor will be on site to show how reliable color control helps textile producers cut waste and deliver consistent results from the first sample to the final roll.
Color consistency across the textile supply chain
Every color that misses its target means rework, extra dyeing cycles, and wasted energy, water, and material. As the industry moves toward more sustainable and circular production, getting color right the first time is both a cost lever and a sustainability goal. Clear color communication between brands, mills, and suppliers keeps that goal within reach.
- Reduce rework, lab dips, and reprocessing
