The tenth edition of Techtextil North America TTNA), the leading trade fair for technical textiles and nonwovens, will take place from 19-21 March 2013 at the Hilton Anaheim in Anaheim, California.

This will be the first time TTNA will be held in California and the move to Anaheim is expected to solidify the West Coast version of the event into a strong, focused must attend event for the technical textiles and nonwovens industry.

“California boasts a gross domestic product of $1.9 trillion with major industries that include aerospace, entertainment, agriculture, and manufacturing. California also represents 13% of the U.S. economy and is itself the 8th largest economy in the world,” the exhibition organiser said.

“By repositioning the West Coast version from Las Vegas to California, Techtextil North America will be more accessible to a larger audience.”

“Anaheim is served by four major domestic and international airports and has a drive market of 20 million people within a 90 mile radius.”

TTNA is owned by Messe Frankfurt, Germany’s leading trade fair organiser. With approximately 457 million Euros in sales and 1769 active employees worldwide, the Messe Frankfurt Group has a global network of 28 subsidiaries, five branch offices and 52 international Sales Partners, giving it a presence in more than 150 countries.

Messe Frankfurt events take place at more than 30 locations around the globe and in 2011, the organisation organised 101 trade fairs, of which more than half took place outside Germany.

The North American headquarters in Atlanta produces trade shows in the USA, Canada and Mexico across various industries.
