More than 1,500 companies from 45 countries are likely to participate in ITMA 2019, the world's largest textile and garment technology exhibition beginning from June 20 in Spain. The exhibition, themed ‘Innovating the World of Textiles’, will showcase the latest technologies and sustainable solutions for the entire textile and garment manufacturing value chain, as well as fibres, yarns and fabrics.
"We are grateful for the vote of confidence from the industry. It shows that ITMA is the launch pad of choice for the latest technologies from around the world," Fritz P Mayer, president of CEMATEX, organiser of ITMA 2019, said.
Applicants from CEMATEX countries have booked 65 per cent of the space; the top countries are Italy, Germany and Spain. The applicants from Turkey, India and China take the top spots in terms of space applied. The top sectors are finishing (25 per cent), spinning (14 per cent), printing and weaving (12 per cent) and knitting (11 per cent).
"Interest in ITMA 2019 is extremely strong, and we have received more applications at an earlier date compared with previous editions. We continue to welcome new applicants, especially manufacturers who are launching new products, as they will help to make ITMA 2019 an even more vibrant sourcing platform for our visitors," concluded Mayer.
