The International Association for the Nonwovens and Related Industries (EDANA) and MP Expositions, the organiser of ITMA 2015, have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU), intended to support the organisation of a conference on nonwovens during ITMA 2015 that will be taking place from 12-19 November in Milan.

Pierre Wiertz, General Manager of EDANA, commented: “For more than 40 years, EDANA has served its member companies through a number of programmes and events designed to bring the industry together. We share a common objective of helping the textile and, in our case, nonwoven industries reach out to a wider audience through greater innovations and education.”

Joint efforts

Among the proposed joint efforts outlined in the MOU, which was signed in Geneva on 10 April is the collaboration on a nonwovens conference to be held at ITMA 2015 in Milan.

Charles Beauduin, President of CEMATEX, said: “As the owner of ITMA, we warmly welcome EDANA to co-organise the nonwovens conference. Many of our CEMATEX national association members who produce machinery and related solutions for the nonwovens sector will look forward to this joint initiative.”

Eileen Ng, Executive Director of MP Expositions, added: “ITMA is the world’s largest textile and garment technology exhibition and it showcases the entire value chain. Since the introduction of the fibre and yarn sector at ITMA 2011, there is a growing emphasis on solutions for nonwovens and technical textiles. Visitors are able to witness the interaction of the materials and chemicals with the machines on the spot during live demonstrations. The cooperation with EDANA is synergistic and beneficial for the industry.”
