The sector for equipment for recycling, waste reduction and pollution prevention is more clearly structured and now complements the range of environmentally compatible and energy-efficient textile machines.
Safety products are also a new index category. They include equipment for workers such as protective clothing or hearing protection as well as safety-related machine components. Manufacturers of these products for the textile industry qualify for admission to ITMA 2007, as do companies that produced drives and control units or dyestuffs and chemicals for the industry.
The sector for machines and accessories for the clothing industry has also been restructured and updated to reflect the state of the art. As was the case at ITMA 2003, training and research organisations that deal with textiles, technical textiles and clothing are eligible to participate as exhibitors.
The new hierarchical numbering system that was introduced is supposed to enhance the clarity and transparency of the product index. In the halls of the New Munich Trade Fair Centre, the latest products of the international textile machinery industry will be presented on 13 - 20 September 2007.
The European umbrella organisation CEMATEX, which comprises nine European member associations, is the owner of ITMA and has selected the Textile Machinery Association of the VDMA to engage Messe München to hold the event in 2007.
MMI organises around 40 trade fairs for capital and consumer goods and key high-tech industries. Each year, over 30,000 exhibitors from more than 90 countries and over two million visitors from around 180 countries take part in the events in Munich. In addition, MMI organises trade fairs in Asia and in North and South America.
