With around nine months still to go before the doors open, Texprocess, the leading international trade fair for processing textile and flexible materials, already boast of an outstanding number of registrations with almost 100 per cent exhibition space occupied by the fair in 2015 having been booked. Companies from 14 different countries that have already registered include many new exhibitors such as Mitsubishi Electric Europe, Inventech Europe, Gemini CAD Systems and Hatapress & Garments. In addition to national pavilions from China and Taiwan, Japan will also supplement its individual exhibitors with a joint stand for the first time. A USA presentation is also in planning.

Texprocess will present finishing technologies, with the ‘Textile Effects Lab’ special area. The World Textile Information Network (WTiN) will hold its European Printing Conference for the first time at Texprocess. Following the success of the première in 2015, the Innovative Apparel Show will be held again with one German and three European universities presenting fashion designs made of functional textiles and the associated production and processing stages. The show links Texprocess with Techtextil. Again, the IT@Texprocess area will present IT solutions for the production, logistics and distribution of textiles.
