About 100 Indian companies are expected to exhibit their products at ITMA Asia and CITME 2014, one of the largest textile machinery expos to be held in Shanghai, China from June 16 to 20, 2014. The event would host over 1,500 exhibitors from 26 countries. The exhibition would be spread over 1.5 lakh sq. mt. in 13 halls and is expected to attract over 1.1 lakh visitors. Machinery related to spinning, non-woven, weaving, knitting, printing and dyeing and other segments of the textile value chain would be exhibited.
This year, printing is one of the focus areas. With labor costs going up, textile units require automated solutions and this would be highlighted at the exhibition. The participation from India this year would be 50 per cent higher compared to previous editions held in China in 2012. About 3,000 Indian visitors are expected at the expo. ITMA organised road shows in eight Indian cities to create awareness about the exhibition.
Since 2008, the combined show known as ITMA Asia and CITME has been held in China every two years. The event features the unique strengths of the ITMA brand and China’s most important textile event, CITME.
