The eyes of the textile world will be on Shanghai from this Wednesday, when Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics – Spring Edition is joined by four other international textile fairs to create the industry’s biggest spring / summer gathering of the entire supply chain. For Intertextile Shanghai alone, a total of 3,386 exhibitors from 22 countries and regions will feature this year, making this the largest Spring Edition in history.
“This is the ninth consecutive year of expansion in the exhibitor number for the Spring Edition, which has increased a remarkable 130% in the four years since it moved to Shanghai. The next three days will once again show why Intertextile Shanghai, with its unrivalled number of quality suppliers and buyers together in one place, is the key sourcing destination for the industry’s order writers. With not only the full fabrics and accessories product spectrum on display, but across all price and quality points too, the fair is the most efficient and effective way to discover new suppliers and make purchasing decisions,” said Ms Wendy Wen, Senior General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd.
More than 70,000 trade buyers from 100-plus countries and regions are expected at the fair, and will have at their fingertips everything from fabrics for ladieswear, menswear, suiting, shirting, lingerie and swimwear to high-end wool fabrics, original pattern designs, functional & performance fabrics, sustainability products & services, digital printing technologies, garment & fashion accessories and more.
