The sixth edition of ITMA ASIA + CITME, to be held in Shanghai, Oct. 15-19, 2018, has received strong support from both domestic and international textile machinery manufacturers. Over 1600 textile machinery manufacturers have applied to exhibit at the sixth combined show, snapping up all of the available 170,000 square meters gross of exhibition space to showcase state-of-the-art machinery, as well as products that boost automation and energy-saving features.
Chinese manufacturers take the largest area, followed by Germany, Italy, Japan and Switzerland.
Sector-wise, spinning machinery forms the largest sector. This is followed by finishing and dyeing, knitting, weaving and nonwovens.
The enthusiastic response for the exhibition is the result of China’s ongoing strategic push for innovation to enhance the global competitiveness of Chinese textile and other industry sectors under the government’s 13th Five-Year Plan period (2016 – 2020).
Fritz P. Mayer, president of CEMATEX, says: “We are delighted that the combined exhibition has continued to garner strong interest. It proves that our exhibition is the industry-leading platform in Asia for textile machinery manufacturers to showcase a wide spectrum of cutting-edge solutions.”
Wang Shutian, president of China Textile Machinery Association (CTMA), adds: “Interest in the combined show remains extremely strong, especially from Chinese textile machinery manufacturers. As China’s textile industry continues its transformation, the demand for advanced machinery and technology is on the rise.”
Although the space application deadline has passed, the show owners are still besieged with late applications, and a waiting list for space has now been drawn up. Approved exhibitors will receive their stand allocations on May 21.
The combined show is owned by CEMATEX and its Chinese partners - the Sub-Council of Textile Industry, CCPIT (CCPIT-Tex), China Textile Machinery Association (CTMA) and China Exhibition Centre Group Corporation (CIEC). It is organized by Beijing Textile Machinery International Exhibition Co Ltd and co-organised by ITMA Services. The Japan Textile Machinery Association (JTMA) is a special partner of the show.
