Following the success of the largest ever Cinte Techtextil China in 2014, the show returns to Shanghai from October 12-14 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre.

“Last year's fair saw 460 exhibitors from 22 countries and regions across an exhibition area of 35,000 sq. metres,” a press release from the organisers Messe Frankfurt stated.

According to Messe Frankfurt, the 2014 event was the largest ever Cinte Techtextil China in the fair's history, and comprised pavilions from Belgium, Germany, Italy and Taiwan, as well as a European Zone.

“Together with regional pavilions from China, the fair displayed a full range of nonwovens and technical textiles in 12 different application areas,” the press release added.

The fair also incorporated a debut Association Village bringing together 10 national technical textile associations from nine countries and regions.

The 2014 edition featured an Innovative Showcase Area which introduced the latest innovations and achievements from various fast-growing application sectors in the industry.

Additionally, a range of seminars were held to help participants absorb new technologies through a series of informative presentations.

The all-inclusive product profile of the fair, complemented by the innovative fringe programs, attracted 12,496 visits to the fair, with visitors coming from 61 countries and regions.

The China Nonwovens & Industrial Textile Association (CNITA) anticipates the total output of technical textiles and nonwoven products in the country will reach over 22 million tons in 2020, double that of 2013.

Furthermore, certain sectors of the China technical textiles market are experiencing high demand at present, according to Wendy Wen, senior general manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd.

“Textiles for filtration and separation, medical and hygiene, structural reinforcement and transportation are expected to be the main growth areas in the next 10 years in China,” Wen added.

Messe Frankfurt further added that positive feedback from exhibitors and visitors in 2014 is likely to encourage more participation in the 2016 edition.

“Cinte Techtextil China is renowned for showcasing products of good quality and technological advantage, which is reflected in the popularity of European technical textiles products,” Guy Decleer a 2014 exhibitor from Beaulieu Fibres said.

“Those manufacturers that are producing here for export in particular appreciate higher quality and being in the Belgium Pavilion helps too as buyers automatically see us having a different quality level,” he also added.

Ilker Arisoy from Turkish company AKM Metalurji Sanayi Temsilcilik said of the 2014 show, “This is my first time in China and I am amazed by the standard of quality here; it's much higher than I thought it would be.”

“In addition to high quality overseas products and technologies, visitors also observed the availability of domestic products and their versatility,” Messe Frankfurt noted. (AR)
