Techtextil & Texprocess show advanced textile technology
May 20, 2019 - Germany
Leading textile and apparel industries participating in Techtextil and Texprocess exhibitions displayed progressive technologies from apparel, fashionwear, upholstered furniture, and leather products. Around 1,818 exhibitors from 59 countries and 47, 000 trade visitors from 116 countries attended the events which were held from May 14-17, 2019, in Germany.
“Over the last four days, Techtextil and Texprocess have brought together the entire world of textiles and their areas of application in Frankfurt. This double-barrelled trade fair had, in particular, three major things going for it: a larger number of top decision-makers, higher levels of international participation and a greater degree of satisfaction amongst exhibitors than ever before. Both exhibitors and visitors were extremely well prepared and actively took advantage of what was on offer at the two fairs, in order to drive their business forward in focussed ways,” Detlef Braun, member of the executive board of Messe Frankfurt said in a press release.
There was, amongst other things, strong representation at Techtextil for suppliers of fabrics for functional apparel and of smart textiles with integral lighting, heating and sensory functionality, which are used in sportswear, fashionwear, outdoor clothes, and workwear. With these products, companies like Schoeller, Freudenberg, Rudolf, and Lenzing attracted designers, product managers, and buyers from a host of well-known clothing manufacturers.
Texprocess was also all about digital solutions for the sector – from fully networked production lines in the form of micro-factories and machines capable of autonomous learning to cloud-based collaboration between designers, product developers, manufactures and retailers across national boundaries. Leading knitting machine manufacturer like Stoll showcased the 3D knitting of shoe uppers in the digital textile micro-factory at Techtextil and Texprocess.
“With our ‘Pixel to Product’ concept, we were able to clearly show our many visitors the benefits of made to measure garments and the end-to-end workflow to produce them. The connection to the clothing and fashion industry plays a very important role for us. That is why we will a show micro-factory in July with several partners at the world‘s largest trade show for sustainable fashion, Neonyt, during Berlin Fashion Week,” Luca Traian, CEO Gemini CAD Systems said.
With ‘Sustainability at Techtextil and Texprocess’ both trade fairs concentrated the focus on the approaches that its exhibitors are adopting to sustainability issues. A dedicated exhibition guide took visitors straight to the relevant exhibitors. (GK)
