Global sourcing is changing fast, with new regulations, digital tools and rising sustainability requirements. Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics, Autumn Edition 2026, set out to show how suppliers are responding. From 25 to 27 August 2026, Azgard9 returned to the fair's Beyond Denim zone at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai.
The 2026 edition was organised around four pillars: Fashion Forward, Sustainability, Performance Textiles and Textile Future. Textile World's preview named Azgard Nine among the highlights of the Beyond Denim zone: the company would "demonstrate vertically integrated denim production, featuring eco-efficient yarn blends, low-resource washing technologies, and its own circular initiatives".
Each of those has numbers behind it. Azgard9's integrated operation has headline capacities of about 15,000 tonnes of yarn, 42 million metres of fabric and 15 million garments a year. In FY2026, the company bought 4,815 tonnes of recycled fibre, recovered 20.8 percent of process water, and cut absolute water use by 10 percent through low-liquor washing machines, recipe optimisation and more laser and ozone finishing. Its energy plan centres on a 6 MW biomass cogeneration plant and 1.5 MW of solar PV.
The company travelled to Shanghai with a growing workforce of 10,839 people and net sales of Rs42.5 billion for the year to June 2026.
