Eight French companies to partake at Techtextil India

France’s innovations will be on display in Hall 6, Booth A48/B33/B34/B38.

With a turnover exceeding €5.4b in 2011, France is one of the world’s and Europe’s leading producers of cutting-edge technical textiles. The sector involves a core target of 355 French businesses with a 29.9% average export share.

France’s dynamism truly materialised with the founding of the European Centre for Innovative Textiles (CETI) in late 2012, a one-of-a-kind place in Europe devoted to research and innovation in the textiles sector. Its aim is to develop textiles that are able to provide the 21st-century economy with creative solutions.

The last edition of Techtextil India in 2011 attracted 130 exhibitors and close to 4,000 business visitors. Given a market that is expected to double by 2016/17, reaching €22b, India is undoubtedly a favourite destination for French companies in the technical textiles sector.
