Issue 8 – May 2008 The Fiber Year 2007 / 08 A World Survey on Textile and Nonwovens Industry Dear Readers, We are on the right course. It was our aim to position Oerlikon as the new corporate umbrella brand as well as the global market and innovative leader in the textile sector. And we have been more than successful in doing so last year – in particular thanks to your confidence in our per- formance. Therefore, we would like to thank you warmly, for example for your overwhelming feedback referring the ITMA 2007. There, you did not only show great interest in our innovative products. But you also accepted in a very positive way our five brands which we presented there under one roof for the first time. And we promise you: Oerlikon Barmag, Oerlikon Neumag, Oerlikon Saurer, Oerlikon Schlafhorst and Oerlikon Textile Components will continue to display their combined expertise in the fields of nonwovens, man-made fibres, natural fibres, twisting, embroidery and components. Dr. Carsten Voigtländer CEO Oerlikon Textile There are good reasons that you will profit from this: Our reorganisation creates synergies that will be of direct benefit for you. We offer leading total solutions all along the textile value-added chain and we are the number one player in almost all of our markets. Thus, we will offer you future- and solution-oriented products and services that are even more efficient. For we are able to advance product innovations and technological optimisation across the process chain stronger than before. One example for this is our e-save energy efficiency programme. With this label, we mark machines which save energy to a great extend in internal and competition comparison. In doing so, we serve central concerns of our group such as resource conservation, environmental protection and sustain- ability – subjects that the segment Oerlikon Solar also puts in the focus of its activities. We will consequently follow the pursued course in 2008 and are sure that we will be able, as has been the case so far, to provide the right answers to the questions of the future: highly productive machines. With our innovations, we are well prepared for 2008 and beyond. And we would like to invite you: Share our success and competence with us also tomorrow. Consistently challenge our technological competence anew. We commit ourselves to your goals – literally with every fibre. Yours sincerely, Dr. Carsten Voigtländer CEO Oerlikon Textile Foreword The information in this report is mainly based on the global network and in-house experience.

Statistical Appendix ...............................................................................................................72 “The Fiber Year 2007/08” is the eighth issue to describe in detail developments in the world manmade fiber, spun yarn and nonwovens industry. Its target is to provide a compre- hensive picture on the textile industry. Statistical information is instrumental in achieving an over all impression and inevitable to dis close the story behind the figures. However, it cannot explain the fundamental changes that have been taking place, as poli- tics explain much activity in this industry today and have consequences far beyond the boundaries of the industry. Last year, we have introduced the travels of a T-shirt in the global economy with trade flows around the globe from cotton cultivation in the United States to yarn spinners and garment factories in PR China, and ultimately to a used cloth- ing market in Africa.
