New textile technologies for the aviation industry are being unveiled by fabric expert Aunde as the company makes its air show debut.

The German-based company is the largest supplier of seating fabric to the automotive industry, but its Australian arm has a long-established tradition to develop and manufacture technical textiles for the aerospace industry.

"These textiles are for use in aircraft seating and curtains," says managing director Michael Estibeiro. "With its subsidiary in Thailand, Aunde Australia can now offer customers a complete one-stop package for seat cover and curtain development, and manufacturing as well as complete logistic services. We produce first- and business-class seat covers for Qantas," says Estibeiro.

Aunde fabrics on display at the show include the latest developments called Textrim and Textab, which Estibeiro says offer "unique design opportunities".

"This is our first aviation show and we're looking forward to speaking to potential customers," Estibeiro says.
