Techtextil will be participating at the upcoming Dornbirn Man-made Fibres Congress (MFC) to be held in Austria from September 20-22, 2016, with a stand, informing delegates the agenda at Techtextil 2017. In return, Dornbirn MFC will be given a three hour slot for lectures at the Techtextil Symposium 2017 and will also be given a stand at the trade fair.

The Dornbirn MFC provides a platform to present the results of the latest research, while Techtextil shows real life product innovations,” Michael Jänecke, director brand management - technical textiles & textile processing at Messe Frankfurt said.

“Our collaboration creates an even stronger link between research and practice and provides added inspiration for visitors to both events,” Friedrich Weninger, managing director of the Austrian Chemical Fibres Institute also said.
