Welcome
Homing in on technical textiles at Heimtextil
Sabine Anton-Katzenbach reports from Frankfurt
February 2010, Frankfurt - If someone wants to catch up on
technical textiles the Frankfurt trade show Heimtextil is a perfect place to
identify their diverse application areas because carpets, interior sun
protection, mattresses and bedding strongly depend on them. But it is no place to
discuss technical features of specialty textiles, except at the booths of fibre
mills, which exhibit at Heimtextil to present their latest developments for the
house and home textile sector.
Heimtextil in Frankfurt is an annual trade show for house
and home textiles where retailers used to place seasonal orders, inform
themselves about the latest trends and scan the fair for new suppliers.
