This year, the ITM 2020 (International Textile Machinery) Exhibition, which is organized with the partnership of TUYAP Tüm Fuarc?l?k Yap?m A.?. and Teknik Fuarc?l?k A.?., and in cooperation with TEMSAD (Textile Machinery and Accessories Industrialists Association) between 2 and 6 June, is expected by its participating companies and visitors with great enthusiasm.

Increase Both in Number of Visitors and Exhibitors

As the number of booths sold has increased and the companies expanded the size of the booth square meters, which attracted great attention from its participants, and therefore, there is no more vacant booths in some halls of the ITM 2020 Exhibition. It is already certain that the ITM 2020 Exhibition will break new records as in the ITM 2018, because of the increase in terms of both the number of visitors and participating companies.

Citizens of countries such as Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, Iran, Iraq, Egypt, Afghanistan, Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Indonesia, and Malaysia have difficulties to participate in the similar exhibitions organized in Europe due to the hardships encountered when obtaining a Schengen visa. But, the fact that textile manufacturers, who are citizens of these countries do not experience such problems while traveling to our country, and this plays a crucial role in increasing the number of participating companies and visitors in the ITM exhibitions. The consulates and commercial attaches receive an abundant number of applications from visitors from all over the world reveals that the ITM 2020 Exhibition will also host a large number of visitors. In addition to this, the efforts of some tourism companies pursue in order to organize tours to the ITM 2020.

ITM Exhibitions Contribute to the World Economy

The ITM Exhibition, which serves as a bridge between the east and the west, is making itself ready to feel the pulse of the sector, as it did in the previous years. This big appointment in Istanbul, which is located in the center of countries that are intensively in the textile business, facilitates sector representatives to introduce their state-of-the-art technologies for the first time at the ITM exhibition. The ITM exhibitions, in which not only Turkish companies but also textile manufacturers from all over the world market textile machinery, provides a great contribution to the world economy. The companies that have submitted their paperwork immediately in the first day of the applications count the days to experience the excitement of the ITM 2020 in Istanbul.

The geography for textile manufacturing has changed location because of the fact that the developed countries operating in the ready-to-wear sector started to search for cheap resources in production. In the recent years, Asian countries, which hold the advantage of inexpensive manpower, have started to strengthen in the textile industry as the quotas in global exports have been revoked.
