Textile industry shows itself from the dynamic, side high-tech, attracted masses in Frankfurt although a contemporary fair for textile printing in Hamburg.<\/h2>\n

\u00abAlthough we had extra personnel on our exhibition stand, visitors still had to queue on occasions. For us, the fair was fantastic<\/em>\u00bb, said Dr Jan Zimmermann<\/strong> of Techtextil<\/a> exhibitor Forster Rohner from Switzerland. Many of the 1,789 exhibitors of Techtextil and Texprocess<\/a> had similar experiences. Over 47,500 visitors (an increase of around 14 % vs 2015: 41,826) from 114 countries made their way to Frankfurt Fair and Exhibition Centre last May, to discover the most innovative products in the field of technical textiles and the latest processing technologies.<\/p>\n

\u00abIndustry 4.0, smart and functional textiles and digitalisation are no longer tomorrow\u2019s trends<\/em> \u2013 added Braun<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 Today, the textile industry is in the thick of it. If any industry is fit for the future, it\u2019s the textile industry. Nevertheless, even in this age of digitalisation, a personal exchange of ideas and opinions is essential. Accordingly, we are delighted that so many visitors came to Techtextil and Texprocess \u2013<\/em>\u00a0explained Detlef Braun<\/strong>, Member of the Executive Board of Messe Frankfurt \u2013\u00a0Anyone who was not here in Frankfurt over the last four days has missed experiencing the dynamic nature of the textile industry for themselves.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n

Record number of visitors also at Texprocess: \u00abWe expected numerous visitors before the doors opened. But that there would be so many was a great surprise<\/em> \u2013 said Sebastian Feges<\/strong> of exhibitor Efka. \u2013 On occasions, we even had trouble in answering all inquiries<\/em>.\u00bb.<\/p>\n

\"High-tech<\/p>\n

High tech on stands<\/h4>\n

From scanning body dimensions of tomorrow\u2019s apparel customer, via IT-aided fashion design, automatic cutting, ever faster sewing and joining, as well as embroidering innumerable parts simultaneously, to delivering the garments: at Texprocess, the degree of interaction between man and machine reached a new level. \u00abThe garment manufacturing and textile industries set course for the future at an early stage and, during the two fairs, once again demonstrated that they rank among the most viable and progressive of sectors<\/em>\u00bb, said Elgar Straub<\/strong>, Managing Director, VDMA Textile Care, Fabric and Leather Technologies, conceptual partner of Texprocess, rounding off the overall impression.<\/p>\n

On all four days, the situation was similar at Techtextil where international trade visitors jammed the exhibition halls looking for high tech textiles for use in applications such as folding textile headlights, smart knee bandages, warming or cooling fashions, not to mention garments with integrated LEDs, fire-resistant fibres, bicycle frames made of carbon and textile membranes for stadium roofs.<\/p>\n

Made in Italy at top<\/h4>\n

After Germany, the three main visitor nations at Techtextil were Italy, France and Turkey. At Texprocess, they were Italy, Romania and Portugal. Particularly striking this year: very many young professionals attended the fairs \u2013 another indication of the positive and dynamic mood in the textile sector, which is clearly on course for growth.<\/p>\n

\u00abTechtextil and Texprocess provide the setting for a lively exchange of ideas and opinions, as well as networking between the players, especially from the industry and start-ups, as well as the research and scientific fields<\/em>\u00bb, said Parliamentary Undersecretary of State Dirk Wiese of the Federal Ministry of Economics and Energy during his visit to the two fairs.<\/p>\n

The very good mood at the fair was underscored by the visitor poll on the economic climate in the sector. According to 33 % of Texprocess visitors, the current economic situation can be described as good. In the case of Techtextil visitors, the figure was even higher with 42 % holding this opinion. To these figures must be added the outstanding ratings given to the two events. Thus, 96 % of Techtextil visitors said they were very pleased with the results of their visit to the fair. In the case of Texprocess visitors, the figure was even higher: 97 %.<\/p>\n

Also very well received were the numerous special exhibitions and events, which offered insights into the whole textile value chain and highlighted the synergistic effects between the two fairs. Opened by ESA astronaut Dr Reinhold Ewald<\/strong>, the space-travel oriented exhibition, \u2018Living in Space<\/em>\u2019 attracted numerous visitors with features such as a virtual-reality journey to Mars, materials for use in space and a \u2018Space Habitat<\/em>\u2019 designed by star architect Ben van Berkel<\/strong>. There was thunderous applause for the \u2018Innovative Apparel Show<\/em>\u2019, which drew packed crowds to the foyer of Halls 5.1 \/ 6.1 with a display of high-tech textiles live on the catwalk several times throughout the fair. Showing a complete textile production line in operation, the \u2018Digital Textile Micro Factory<\/em>\u2019 was praised as having been a complete success.<\/p>\n

The next Techtextil and Texprocess will be held in Frankfurt am Main from 14 to 17 May 2019.<\/p>\n
