Messe FrankfurtMesse Frankfurt is to launch Texprocess, a new machinery, equipment and process exhibition which will compliment Techtextil, the leading technical textiles and nonwovens show. Texprocess will make its debut in Frankfurt in parallel with Techtextil from 2011.

 “As the investment-goods fair for the textile and fashion industry, Texprocess will be the meeting place for over 500 exhibitors and around 25,000 visitors from all over the world”, explains Detlef Braun, Member of the Board of Management of Messe Frankfurt.

Texprocess will make its debut from 24 to 27 May 2011, and take place parallel to Techtextil, the international trade fair for technical textiles and nonwovens, which has been well established in Frankfurt for several decades. From then on, Texprocess will continue its biennial cycle of events alongside Techtextil thus creating a potent duo of leading international trade fairs with approximately 1,700 exhibitors and around 50,000 visitors from 120 nations.

 “Texprocess is an uncompromising step forward in our international strategy with which we will further extend our market leadership in the textile sphere. With over 30 events worldwide, we now cover the entire process chain from materials and fabrics, via fashions and garments, to the vital technology fair for processing and care”, said Braun.

In the textile sector, Messe Frankfurt has a unique portfolio of fairs for home and contract textiles (Heimtextil), technical textiles (Techtextil), garment fabrics (Intertextile, Texworld, Interstoff Asia) and machinery, plant and technology for the sector (Texprocess, Texcare). The textile and investment-goods fairs are highly international events.

On around 80,000 square metres of exhibition space, Texprocess will present the latest machinery, plant, processes and services for manufacturing textiles and other flexible materials. The range of products to be shown will embrace all process stages from design and cutting, CAD/CAM processes and preparations for processing using appropriate technology and processes to distribution logistics, finishing, waste disposal, recycling and environmental protection. Texprocess is aimed at an audience from the industrial fields of garment manufacturing, textile processing, technical textiles, trade, services, research and training. On the exhibitor side, over 50 percent of the 25,000 visitors expected are likely to come from outside Germany.

Techtextil is the world’s leading trade fair for technical textiles. It is divided into innovative applications categories and incorporates an extensive programme of congresses and conferences. The fair is held in line with the cycle of innovations prevailing in the industry. Thus, every two years, around 1,200 exhibitors present their latest products and innovations at Techtextil in Frankfurt am Main to around 23,000 trade visitors, over half of them from outside Germany.

Holding Texprocess parallel to Techtextil means more than just a new fair. Rather, the result is a textile powerhouse in Frankfurt, two leading international trade fairs at the same time and place, which will generate unique synergies at a stroke. For example manufacturers have the chance to make contact with twice the number of potential customers while visitors benefit from a much bigger and optimised range of products and services,  all coupled with reduced costs in terms of time and travel. Additionally, this will open up new internationalisation perspectives for Frankfurt Fair and Exhibition Centre, for the new Texprocess trade-fair brand and for the entire textile and technology division of Messe Frankfurt”, Messe Frankfurt says.
