Established more than 100 years ago, World Textile Information Network (WTiN) is the world's leading textile news and information provider. WTiN's magazines - Textile Month International, Knitting International, Future Materials, Nonwovens Report International, Digital Textile, Twist and International Dyer - have long been recognised for their authority and market-leading coverage.

WTiN also publishes newspapers at many of the world's leading textile exhibitions in partnership with owners of these events.

WTiN Intelligence, a unique online service that combines next-generation technology with unrivalled textile expertise, was launched in 2009, followed in the same year by the WTiN E-Learning service, which provides multimedia textile and apparel education and training modules with the convenience of being able to study at any time and in any location.

In September 2011, WTiN launched a new online service called Textile Cost Manager, which provides a broad, concise analysis of all the elements of the textile manufacturing cost base, including fibres, yarns, fabrics, chemicals and dyes, as well as labour rates, energy, capital, taxes, tariffs and freight.

WTiN is also co-owner of the ITMA-ITMF World Textile Summit, which took place in Barcelona on 21 September 2011. A line-up of eminent speakers covering a range of topics that are strategically vital to the future of the world's textile enterprises included a keynote address from former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan.
