“The Chinese market is ready for a top-class textile processing trade fair that focuses on attracting visitors from companies who are producing garments and processing technical textiles, instead of international traders,” says Elgar e 2 Straub, Executive Director of the VDMA German Garment and Leather Technology Association. “Textile Processing China targets all textile processors, including not only producers of sports items and upholstered furniture, but also — and in particular — manufacturers of car seats and airbags.
In recent years, suppliers for the automotive industry have established themselves in the vicinity of automobile manufacturers in China, in order to ensure a short supply chain.
Now that virtually all of the international car manufacturers run their own manufacturing plants in China, the quality standard here is also high — this includes for instance the ability to document the stitching process used for manufacturing airbags as well as complying to safety requirements in seat production.”
Straub adds that productivity, flexibility, high quality and state-ofthe- art technology are key competitive factors in every area of textile processing in China today. At Textile Processing China, exhibitors from all over the world will be demonstrating these to their Chinese customers.
The concept behind the new event is based on the product groupings at IMB — World of Textile Processing — in Cologne: technologies and services for cutting, folding, fusing and finishing products made of textiles and flexible materials, as well as logistics and IT services.
