ITMA ASIA will be held at Singapore Expo from 17 to 21 October, 10am to 6pm daily. The exhibition floor will be abuzz with machinery demonstrations, business transactions and networking opportunities.
Highlights of ITMA ASIA 2005:
• Exhibits will be displayed in 15 product sectors, ranging from spinning, nonwovens, weaving and knitting, to finishing, testing, handling and packing. The largest three product groups in the exhibition are spinning, finishing and weaving.
• For the first time, ITMA ASIA 2005 is held in partnership with JTMA. It has also secured the support of several textile machinery manufacturers groups, namely the American Textile Machinery Association, China Textile Machinery Association, Korea Textile Machinery Association and Taiwan Association of Machinery Industry.
• ITMA ASIA is a showcase that only manufacturers are allowed to take part. Some 55 per cent of the 800 exhibitors are from Europe, with the majority coming from Italy, Germany and Switzerland. The second largest group of exhibitors is from Asia, making up over 35 per cent of the total number.
Note: The Singapore Tourism Board hopes to attract 17 million visitors to the country by 2015. Fuelled by increasing competition in the textile industry due to global textile and apparel quotas having been lifted at the beginning of this year, ITMA ASIA 2005 is expected to lead the BTMICE (Business Travel, Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Exhibitions) segment to contribute to this growth target.
