“After all, the world market for technical textiles and nonwovens is growing continuously,” he added.
Exhibitors include British Textile Machinery Association, Carrington Workwear, Lankhorst Pure Composites, Nike IHM, SATI, Sympatex Technologies and Technische Textilien Lörrach.
Belgium, China, France, Great Britain, Italy, Portugal, South Korea, Taiwan, Turkey and the US will have country specific pavilions at Techtextil.
