The next edition of Texprocess, the trade fair for processing textile and flexible materials, will take place in Germany from May 4 to 7, 2015. The fair provides a single platform for showcasing automation technology for the garment and textile processing industries, CAD/CAM, information technology, cutting, design and product development, distribution logistics and many more.

Texprocess features companies from south and east Europe, central Asia and Africa. The ‘Source It ‘area will offer detailed insights into new channels and technologies. The area is distinguished by its highly technological orientation and, therefore, is of particular interest to visitors, most of whom come to see machinery. Source It is a platform for contract manufacturing. Source It also presents companies from the outward-processing sector. This combination of production companies and suppliers of machinery and technology is unique in Europe and future-oriented.

Given the demand for environmentally-friendly and socially fair production in the garment sector, Source It will focus on social standards and textile labels in its next edition in 2015. Well-known testing and certification systems, such as GOTS and Oeko-Tex with STeP, have found their way into production facilities in eastern Europe and Asia.

Texprocess takes place parallel to Techtextil, the international trade fair for technical textiles and nonwovens.
