Confirming the strong international recognition that Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics receives, leading fibre and yarn suppliers from around the world are organising Group Pavilions which can be found in halls W2 and W3. Cotton Council International, DuPont, Hyosung, INVISTA, the Korea Chemical Fibers Association (KCFA), the Korea Textile Trade Association (KTTA) and Lenzing will each host a pavilion containing their partner mills which will showcase collections of natural and synthetic fibres and yarns. The organisers will also use this opportunity to display cutting-edge industry technologies and the latest raw materials.
One of these organisers is Lenzing, the well known manufacturers of cellulose fibres. Their pavilion this year will highlight their Tencel? denim and yarn-dyed shirting fabrics which are known for being comfortable, functional and eco-friendly. “This fair is a good platform to strengthen our brand awareness in the industry, and provides us with a very good opportunity to collaborate with our long-term partners,” said Ms Maggie Shen, the China Marketing Manager of Lenzing Fibers (Shanghai). “We plan to meet with a wide range of buyers from throughout the entire supply chain that will be at the show, including clothing brands, retailers, garment makers and fabric mills.”
As well as the strong presence from European pavilions and exhibitors, Asia is also well represented. In halls W2 — W4, India, Indonesia, Japan, Korea and Thailand exhibitors, as well as the Pakistan zone, will display the best of Asia. The Thailand Pavilion will feature textiles which are strengths of this country: cotton, polyester, functional fabrics and silk, along with their advanced fabrics technology and craftsmanship.
For those visitors looking for accessories, they are sure to find something to suit their needs in the accessories halls. Located in halls E6 and E7, international and domestic suppliers will showcase their wares across 23,000 sqm of exhibition space. A selection of buttons, zippers, linings, trims, as well as fashion accessories, can be found here.
Running concurrently with this fair are three other events: Yarn Expo Autumn and PH Value (previously known as the China International Knitting Trade Fair) which are located within the same venue as Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics, and the Planet Textiles Conference which will be held in the nearby Kerry Hotel.
Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics is co-organised by Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd; the Sub-Council of Textile Industry, CCPIT; and the China Textile Information Centre.
