Around 40,000 visitors from 113 countries attended Techtextil and Texprocess trade fair duo last week to find out about the latest innovations and trends. A total of 1,652 exhibitors from 56 nations presented their latest products and innovations.

“Techtextil and Texprocess have once again set new records,” said Detlef Braun, member of the executive board of Messe Frankfurt, commenting on the results of the textile trade-fair double. “With an increase of 15% compared to the previous events, the two leading trade fairs confirmed the worldwide significance of technical textiles and textile-processing machinery”, he added.

The events focusing on technical textiles combined various aspects of the industry from light to very heavy materials – from functional garments, via car seats and safety belts, to aircraft interiors.

Techtextil

For the 15th time, Techtextil underscored its position as the premium international event for the technical textiles and nonwovens sector. From 11 to 13 June, 1,322 exhibitors from 48 countries presented their future-oriented products from research and industry.

Techtextil brought together all areas of application and product groups from the technical-textiles sector to create an innovation platform unrivalled worldwide.

Texprocess

The second Texprocess consolidated its position as the leading international trade fair for textile processing with 330 exhibitors from 38 countries who presented their high-tech solutions and thus demonstrated the innovative potential of the sector.

Presenting machines and processes, as well as IT and logistics solutions, for the textile and apparel industries, Texprocess covers all stages of the textile-processing chain with a comprehensive product spectrum stretching from design and cutting, via sewing, joining, embroidery and knitting, to finishing and textile printing.

Results

“Exhibitors and visitors from all segments were enthusiastic about the future-oriented concept of Techtextil and Texprocess. In particular, the descriptive application examples to be seen at the two events confirmed the innovative character of our exhibitors”, said Detlef Braun. “The results in 2011 were excellent and the fact that we have been able to improve on them so clearly underscores the successful strategy of our trade-fair double.”

The high degree of visitor satisfaction reflects the great quality of the two trade fairs, the internationality of which also increased with a total of 22,000 visitors from outside Germany attending them.

After Germany, the top visitor nations and regions are Italy, France, Turkey, Great Britain, Switzerland and East Europe, including the Russian Federation, Poland, the Czech Republic and Romania.
