#Nonwovens / Technical Textiles

IVGT with the ETT Club at HANNOVER MESSE 2025

Technical textiles are highly developed materials that have been specially optimised for industrial applications. They are indispensable in many areas, even though they are often invisible. As "hidden champions" in the manufacture of numerous innovative products, technical textiles are a real alternative to conventional materials! HANNOVER MESSE, which will take place from 31 March to 4 April 2025, will bring together these important aspects for the first time and present the joint stand "Technical Textiles" in the innovative Future Hub in Hall 2.

Technical textiles take centre stage 

Stefan Schmidt from IVGT comments: "This is a great opportunity for our sector to present itself to the entire international industrial world. Our aim is to convince trade visitors of the capabilities of technical textiles".

The members of the four industry associations IVGT (Germany), Clubtex (France), Fedustria (Belgium) and TexClubTec (Italy) are leaders in the manufacture of technical textiles, which are essential for lightweight construction, electromobility, aerospace, medicine, smart wearables, environmental technology and filtration. Hannover Messe is the undisputed global industry meeting place for decision-makers and visionaries of innovative products. Together, the four industry associations, better known to many as the ETT Club, and HANNOVER MESSE are now organising a joint stand at HANNOVER MESSE 2025 for the first time. Stefan Schmidt: "Technical textiles in the research hall and thus at the heart of the trade fair for pioneering technologies and innovative developments. This is exactly what our industry needs right now!"
