The Professional Clothing Industry Association Worldwide (PCIAW®) is pleased to announce Magellan as an exhibitor at the PCIAW® Summit, Exhibition & Awards 2026, taking place at the De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in London on 21–22 October.
Magellan will bring its expertise in Digital Product Passports (DPPs), traceability and product data management to the exhibition, giving visitors the opportunity to explore how organisations can prepare for emerging product transparency requirements while unlocking wider opportunities around circularity, sustainability and customer engagement.
At the Summit, Magellan will showcase its Digital Product Passport solution alongside practical insights from live UK pilots and industry collaborations, helping professional clothing businesses understand what DPP implementation can look like in practice.
From product data to Digital Product Passports
Magellan is a European consulting and technology group supporting organisations through digital transformation, combining business consulting, technology expertise, platform integration and secure digital services.
Following the acquisition of Worldline’s Mobility & e-Transactional Services (MeTS) business, Magellan brings together capabilities spanning digital product development, secure transaction services, cloud platforms, AI, traceability and regulatory compliance.
Its Digital Product Passport solution is designed to help brands and manufacturers capture, manage and share trusted information throughout the lifecycle of a product.
For the professional clothing industry, this is becoming increasingly significant as businesses consider how they will collect and manage information relating to materials, sourcing, manufacturing, supply chains and end-of-life pathways.
Rather than treating this information as a series of disconnected datasets, Magellan’s approach creates a centralised source for product, material and supply-chain information that can support traceability and future DPP requirements.
See a dynamic textile DPP in action
Visitors to the PCIAW® Summit will be able to explore Magellan’s dynamic textile Digital Product Passport, demonstrating how complex product information can be transformed into an accessible and engaging digital format.
The showcase will provide practical insight into how organisations can approach the collection and management of product, material and supply-chain data, as well as how that information can be integrated with existing business systems and supplier ecosystems.
For businesses still at the beginning of their DPP journey, the demonstration will provide an opportunity to see how a Digital Product Passport functions beyond the theoretical concept.
For organisations already developing product transparency strategies, Magellan will demonstrate how DPP infrastructure can be designed to scale and adapt as regulatory requirements continue to evolve.
Building traceability across complex supply chains
One of the major challenges facing the textile and professional clothing industries is the complexity of the supply chain behind an individual garment.
Product information can sit across multiple manufacturers, suppliers and internal systems, making the creation of a reliable digital product record dependent on strong data foundations.
Magellan combines nearly a decade of track-and-trace expertise with involvement in CIRPASS-2 and live UK Digital Product Passport pilots, bringing practical implementation experience to this challenge.
Its platform supports end-to-end traceability across complex value chains while integrating information from existing data sources.
This approach can help organisations establish greater visibility across their products and supply chains while preparing the infrastructure needed to respond to emerging transparency and compliance requirements.
Moving beyond compliance
Magellan will also use the Summit to demonstrate why Digital Product Passports have the potential to provide value beyond regulatory compliance.
A trusted digital record can make product information more accessible throughout a garment’s lifecycle, creating opportunities to support repair, resale, refurbishment and recycling.
For brands and manufacturers, greater transparency can also help strengthen customer trust by providing accessible and verified information about products and their origins.
The result is an opportunity to transform data initially collected for compliance into a wider strategic asset that can support sustainability objectives, circular business models, customer engagement and long-term brand value.
Preparing early for product transparency
Magellan’s solution is particularly relevant for brands, manufacturers and retailers selling products into the EU and preparing for emerging Digital Product Passport requirements.
Establishing the necessary product and supply-chain data infrastructure takes time, making early preparation an important consideration for businesses expecting to be affected by future requirements.
Early implementation can also allow organisations to identify gaps in their existing data, develop relationships with suppliers and gain practical experience before regulatory deadlines take effect.
At the PCIAW® Summit, Magellan will provide visitors with an opportunity to explore these challenges directly and understand how a scalable Digital Product Passport strategy can be developed around their existing systems and supply chains.
Meet Magellan at the PCIAW® Summit 2026
Magellan’s participation reflects the wider theme of the PCIAW® Summit 2026 – “The Implementation Phase”, as the professional clothing industry moves from discussing digital traceability and product transparency towards putting the necessary systems and data infrastructure into practice.
Visitors will be able to discover Magellan’s approach to Digital Product Passports, experience its dynamic textile DPP and gain practical insight into how trusted product data can support compliance, transparency and circularity.
Meet Magellan at the PCIAW® Summit, Exhibition & Awards 2026 at the De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms, London, on 21–22 October 2026.
