The Teijin Group announced today that its group companies Teijin Hong Kong Limited and N.I. Teijin Shoji Europe GmbH will exhibit a wide range of some 800 products made with high-performance polyester materials during the Texworld Paris international textile and fabric fair at the Paris Le Bourget exhibition center from February 13 to 16.

The Teijin booth (H.2 D138) will feature polyester filament fabrics manufactured by Teijin Group companies such as Thai Namsiri Intertex in Thailand and Nantong Teijin in China, as well as innerwear materials developed by Teijin Hong Kong.

Teijin's 15th appearance at the fair will promote the group's ongoing expansion in the apparel markets of Europe, where there is strong demand for functional fibers, as well as the U.S. and Asia. The group also is cultivating specialty retailers of private-label apparel to expand the global market for innerwear and outerwear made with Teijin's advanced polyester filaments.

Teijin's wide-ranging exhibit at Texworld Paris will include:

• Knitted materials made with highly functional fibers, such as a new innerwear material made with Nanofront high-strength polyester fiber that has a thickness of just 700 nanometers, or 7,500 times smaller than the cross-sectional area of a strand of hair.
• Stretchable, high-quality materials for men's and women's formal wear.
• Special materials for coats and blousons, such as breathable, water-repellent fabrics made with microfibers, and also fabrics that are laminated or highly washable.
