Roica: a single future for stretch fabrics

Roica by Asahi Kasei will return to Performance Days Munich on 13 and 14 October 2026 to present a selection of new textile innovations developed by seven European partners and two Japanese specialists under the banner of the global slogan ‘Stretch your future’. On display at the Roica stand, these developments will highlight different approaches to textile engineering, performance, comfort, craftsmanship and the expressive qualities of materials.

From breathable, three-dimensional constructions to engineered fabrics, from sophisticated wool-based designs to pieces crafted with distinctive Japanese precision, each partner will offer a unique perspective on how stretch fabric enhances contemporary clothing. Together, the nine partners (Borgini Jersey, Brugnoli, Cifra, Penn Solutions, Reda, Siti, Tibia Tricot, Imai Kigyojo, and Kawada Knitting Group) will demonstrate how Roica can support a broad range of textile solutions thanks to the reliable stretch, comfort, fit and versatility of the materials. From Europe to Japan, the solutions showcased by our partners at the Roica stand will demonstrate how stretch fabric can be interpreted in different ways, reflecting technical expertise, creative vision and specific manufacturing know-how.

By teaming European expertise and Japanese craftsmanship on a single platform, Roica invites visitors to discover how collaboration and shared know-how can help shape the future of performance, active and lifestyle fabrics. With the ‘Stretch your future’ message, Roica is resolutely pursuing its commitment to promoting a collaborative model throughout the entire textile supply chain.
