Product categories include cotton, denim, functional, knitted, linen, man-made, printed, ramie, silk, sustainable and wool fabrics, as well as accessories, embroidery and lace, fibers and yarns plus design and testing services.
Meanwhile, in the recent editions of Intertextile Shanghai, the fair organizers have received strong appreciation for creating distinctive pavilions and product zones. Wendy Wen, Senior General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) said that many exhibitors and buyers reported to them that their experience was more successful because it was easier for them to identify their target buyers or products due to the product zones and pavilions.
Following on from the success of previous fairs, numerous country and region pavilions, group pavilions and product zones are confirmed to feature again in this Autumn Edition, all designed to help exhibitors meet their target buyers.
