A new EU Horizon Europe project led by DITF is building a digital‑enabled microfactory network to deliver circular, demand‑driven knitted garment production across Europe

Denkendorf – Knitted textile and garment producers in Europe are set to benefit from a new EU‑funded initiative to organise apparel production around short supply chains, microfactories and high‑quality recycling.

The ALADIN project, coordinated by the German Institutes of Textile and Fiber Research Denkendorf (DITF), launched in May 2026 with €5 million of Horizon Europe support to develop circular, demand‑driven models for knitted garment manufacture.
