April 13, 2015 - Germany
Organisers of Techtextil, Messe Frankfurt say with less than four weeks to go before it begins from May 4, over 1,350 international exhibitors have signed up for the trade show.
“This means that the fair for technical textiles and nonwovens will once again grow in terms of both floor area and numbers of exhibitors,“ says Michael Jänecke, director of brand management technical textiles.
“Alongside increase in floor space, we are particularly pleased by the increasing levels of international participants with some 68 percent of international exhibitors coming from over 50 countries,” he added.
Altogether, Messe Frankfurt expects more than 1,650 exhibitors at Techtextil and the parallel Texprocess.
More companies will be exhibiting in the areas of ‘Research, Development, Planning, Consulting’, ‘Technology, Processes, Accessories’ and ‘Functional Apparel Textiles’, with Nonwovens and Bondtec showing slight gains.
“The increase in the group of functional apparel textiles is particularly noteworthy, as we count this as a consumer trend that is beginning to emerge,” Messe Frankfurt said in a press release.
“More and more customers worldwide are showing an interest in, for instance, multifunctional jackets, which communicate, cool, illuminate, measure, protect and warm at the same time,” Jänecke noted.
In relation to the twelve application areas of Techtextil, Clothtech and Sporttech have showed particular growth this year, whilst there is hardly any change in the remaining areas as against 2013.
The five largest application areas like Indutech, Mobiltech, Buildtech, Hometech and Protech remain unchanged.
Amongst the exhibitors with the largest stands are; Asota, Groz-Beckert, Elmatex, FiberVisions, Heathcoat Fabrics, Hyosung, Kordsa Global, Mehler Texnologies, Miller Weldmaster and IBENA Textilwerke.
Others include, Olbo & Mehler, Picanol, PHP Fibers, Sandler, Sattler, Sioen, S.M.R.E., Teijin Aramid, Thrace Plastics, Trützschler, the TWE Group and Wirth Fulda.
Techtextil is growing across all geographical regions and in particular, it is seeing increases in the number of exhibitors from Germany, Switzerland, Great Britain, China and the Czech Republic.
Moreover, 15 countries have registered a joint stand at the trade fair like Belgium, Canada, China, France, Great Britain, Italy, Portugal, South Korea, Spain, Taiwan, The Czech Republic, Turkey and the USA.
Adding to the many features at Techtextil is an extensive complementary program, which includes the Techtextil Symposium, the Techtextil Innovation Award and “Textile Structures for New Building” student competition. (AR)
