Masias Maquinaria Highlights Innovation and Recycling Solutions at ITMA Asia Singapore 2025

At ITMA Asia 2025, Masias Maquinaria reaffirmed its position as a global leader in fiber processing technologies, presenting advanced solutions for home textiles, nonwovens, and recycling applications. Speaking to Kohan Textile Journal, Patricia Masias, General Manager of Masias Maquinaria, shared insights into the company’s growing international presence and its commitment to innovation-driven progress.

Masias Maquinaria specializes in developing complete fiber-processing lines for pillows, quilts, and mattresses, as well as insulation products and advanced nonwoven structures. “We provide solutions for fiber processing lines, especially for the home textile market,” Masias explained. “Our machinery supports applications from airlay and carding to cross-lapping, helping manufacturers produce felt, insulation materials, and more.”

With a well-established client base across Europe, North America, and South America, the company attended ITMA Asia with a clear goal: expanding its footprint in emerging Asian and Middle Eastern markets. Masias described the Singapore edition as “better than expected,” emphasizing the diversity of visitors. “We met people from Iran, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia, Brazil, and even South Africa. Singapore’s strategic location brings together audiences that we normally don’t reach as much in Europe,” she added.

Innovation and Reliability at the Core

Masias highlighted that the company’s long-term success is driven by its commitment to continuous innovation and high-quality service. “The secret is innovation—always pushing to solve new problems for our customers,” she said. “Service quality and machine safety are essential. We design complete lines with high reliability, complexity, and security in mind. That’s what makes us a reference in Spain.”

Strong Focus on Recycling and Circular Solutions

One of Masias Maquinaria’s key priorities is developing machinery that helps manufacturers reuse and recycle textile waste. Their flagship solution, Flexipad, is designed for the mattress industry. The system allows manufacturers to process foam scraps, mattress trimmings, and quilted waste by shredding and blending them with low-melt fibers to create new padding layers that replace foam.

“This helps mattress producers reuse their own scraps and reduce waste,” Masias noted. The company also provides defibering systems capable of processing pillow, quilt, and mattress scraps—supporting both pre-consumer and post-industrial recycling streams.

Beyond mattresses, Masias offers technologies to convert post-consumer cotton into nonwoven products, helping customers integrate circularity into their value chains. “Part of our heart has always been in recycling,” Masias emphasized. “Now we are using all this experience to support post-consumer waste solutions as well.”

Expanding Horizons Through ITMA Asia

The company views the Singapore edition of ITMA Asia as a major opportunity to connect with new customers and present its recycling-focused innovations to markets seeking sustainable, cost-effective fiber solutions. With global demand rising for circular systems and efficient processing lines, Masias Maquinaria’s participation underscores its commitment to shaping the future of textile machinery.
