Anticipation is building around the 2015 Spring edition of Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics. The fair is on track to set a new exhibitor record, coinciding with its relocation to a brand new venue. More than 2,500 exhibitors from 21 countries and regions have confirmed their participation, setting a new high point in the fair’s history.

French suppliers are increasing their presence at Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics, with a dedicated France zone making its first appearance at the Spring edition after a strong showing last October. Some of the leading names in the industry will participate at the fair, including new exhibitors Malfroy Million and Solstiss Sarl. Malfroy Million is well known for silk scarves and will exhibit premium silk at the fair. Solstiss Sarl will showcase its French lace produced on Leavers machines.

Yarn expo spring will be held alongside. This will showcase a spectrum of natural and blended yarns including cotton, wool, flax or regenerated flax, and man-made fibers and yarns as well as specialty products including elastic and fancy and blended yarns. The Chinese fiber pavilion will feature a bio fiber zone to promote the use of biochemical fibers. Some of the international highlights include the Indian pavilion and the Pakistani zone.
