Technical Textiles Come to Frankfurt
last month’s Techtextil and Advantex fairs break
By Helena Engqvist
Techtextil, held in Frankfurt on June 12-14, attracted 1086 exhibitors and 23,200 trade visitors from 80 countries. A wide array of materials and products were showcased for smart textiles with stretchable electronics, industrial filter media, automotive sound absorption and heavy duty flame protection apparel as well as a plethora of nano technologies and much more. Many of the traditional nonwovens companies and suppliers showed types of materials different than normally presented, making nonwovens stand out as high-tech materials. In addition to the exhibition, Techtextil and Avantex held 120 seminars and expert lectures.
“More exhibitors and 7% more trade visitors than two years ago make Techtextil and Avantex 2007 the biggest since they were founded – and the most successful: exhibitors and visitors gave both events top grades for their business quality,” said Detlef Braun, member of the board of management of Messe Frankfurt, summing up the results of the biennial fairs.
