What we stand for

A trade platform, not a newsroom

We are open about where our content comes from. And about where the line between editorial and commercial runs.

Independent selection

We choose what gets published; suppliers don't.

Built for practitioners

Material data and case studies, not marketing copy.

One industry, end to end

Every textile market and technology, on one platform.

How we work

Our editorial policy, in six points

Where our content comes from, what we check before we publish, and what advertising does and does not buy.

Where our content comes from

Most of what you read on TextilesInside starts with the industry itself: product news, case studies and technical articles submitted by manufacturers, suppliers and research institutes. Our editors select what gets published, rewrite and edit it for clarity, and place it in the right market and technology zone. We are a trade platform, not a newsroom. And we think you should know which is which.

What we check before we publish

Every submission is reviewed by a named editor. We check that the source company is identifiable, that technical claims are specific rather than promotional, and that the subject is genuinely relevant to one of our markets or technology zones. We shorten, retitle and rewrite where needed. We do not publish everything we receive.

Editorial and commercial are separated

Display advertising, directory memberships and sponsored content give companies visibility. They never buy influence over editorial judgement, ranking in our news selection, or the wording of an article about a competitor. Paid and promoted placements are labelled as such. Sponsored content written with our editorial team still goes through the same review.

How we use AI

We use AI tools to support translation, editing and summarising. Nothing is published on TextilesInside without a human editor reading and approving it. Technical claims are always traced back to the source company, not generated.

Our experts

Answers in Ask the Expert come from named specialists who work at named companies. That affiliation is always shown, so you can weigh the advice accordingly. Experts answer in their own words; we do not edit their technical conclusions.
