ITMA Asia+CITME 2016 Exhibition Will Be The Largest Textile Machinery Show Of The Year

ITMA Asia + CITME 2016 exhibition which will be held from 21 to 25 October in Shanghai, China, has closed its space booking application and has sold over 90% of the 180,000 sq. meters of exhibition space. The exhibition is expected to feature over 500 domestic and international textile machinery manufacturers from over 26 economies who will showcase advanced solutions and energy efficient machinery and processes. This will be the largest ever ITMA Asia + CITME exhibition in terms of space booked. Chinese exhibitors make up the biggest country group, booking over 65 per cent of the total exhibition space. The other top participating economies are Germany, Italy, Japan, Switzerland and Taiwan.

This keen response by the exhibitors proves that the Chinese marketplace with its vast hinterland still offers great business opportunities. Charles Beauduin, President of CEMATEX said, “The high level of interest from exhibitors has reaffirmed ITMA ASIA + CITME as the leading marketing platform for textile machinery manufacturers seeking to tap the China market. We are pleased to provide them with a recognised platform for their strategic promotion and will ensure that the combined show continues to be a relevant and effective platform for sellers and buyers to transact business and to take advantage of the vast potential that China offers.” “As China’s textile industry continues its transformation, the demand for advanced machinery and technology is on the rise. For textile manufacturers to be ahead in the industry, they need to readjust their strategy to enhance overall production efficiency. They should adopt a longer-term outlook to focus on the quality of their products which will ultimately contribute to their company’s bottom line. This will lead to a demand for new machinery and technology to modernise and upgrade their existing textile equipment.” said, Gu Ping, Vice President of China Textile Machinery Association (CTMA).

ITMA ASIA + CITME 2016 will be held at the new National Exhibition and Convention Centre (NECC) in Shanghai. Located in the Hongqiao business district, the venue features state-of-the-art facilities and easy accessibility.
