Elgar Straub, General Manager of VDMA Garment and Leather Technology observes: "The first Texprocess far exceeded all exhibitor expectations. For manufacturers, Texprocess has now become the leading trade fair, at which to present their latest innovations to an international public for the first time." Meanwhile, the registration process has now begun. Interested companies can sign up for the next trade fair from today at www.texprocess.com under the heading “For exhibitors”. The early-bird rate for early registrations will apply until 30 June 2012. Texprocess covers the entire value-creation chain in the textile processing industry, from preparation, pattern design and cutting to sewing, embroidery and knitting - and includes IT, logistics and finishing. 326 exhibitors presented themselves, their products and services at Texprocess 2011. Some 10,500 professional and trade visitors were attracted to the leading international trade fair, with a further 6,500 coming from Techtextil, which was held in parallel.
