Texpertise Network

Trend-setting

We’ve set ourselves a big challenge. When it comes

to textile trade fairs, our aim is to be the absolute bench-

mark – for individual market players, and also for the

entire industry. How can we achieve that? By bringing

together the most important and the most ambitious

trade fairs from the textile industry. Under one roof.

Take in the whole picture!The comprehensive Messe Frankfurt Texpertise Network

covers the entire textile value chain, including research,

development, yarns, fabrics, apparel, fashion, contract

production, home and interior textiles, technical textiles,

processing and cleaning technologies. In our view,

everything’s here.

The market – showcased for you.To enjoy maximum success, it’s essential to understand

the market. Ideally throughout its full breadth and depth.

Which is why our trade fairs are designed to offer unpar-

alleled market transparency. Our high-quality lecture

forums are just one example. What’s special about them

is the combination of realistic insights and forecasts.

Both of these enable you to fully exploit the possibilities

presented by current markets and the opportunities of

tomorrow!

The beating heart of the industry.At the same time, our fairs are inspirational meeting

places. Don’t miss the opportunity to make new contacts

with the industry’s international top players. And perhaps

even initiate your first collaborative projects right away.

Where else does the heart of the industry beat so

strongly?

Explore our source of ideas and inspirations that connects experts from around the globe – and excites visitors worldwide! We’ve created a network for people and brands in the textile industry. Its name says it all: “Texpertise Network”.

CooperativeHow do market partners from all over the world find one another? This can prove a challenge in the huge arena of a highly international industry. Our guiding principle: Stop searching, start finding! And that’s why our partnerships offer you the ideal basis for cooperative ventures – across all industry sectors and levels.

Driving forward developmentFor us, exploiting new sales markets in the future

means identifying growing domestic markets,

building bridges with the manufacturing sector and

developing new opportunities. And how do we do

that? By picking up on new trends and highlighting

the latest developments. Our trade fairs, special

shows, lectures and congresses are the launch pad

for further advancement. Plus, it goes without saying

that our measures include nurturing the upcoming

generation.

Our motivation: Commitment to forward thinking

and a pro-active approach. These are just two of the

reasons why our fairs are now represented in the

world’s most important markets.

Only you can decide about the right market

partners for your business. That’s because the

criteria for successful cooperations are always

individual – whether they concern positioning

in the market, specialist requirements for materials

and production, sustainability concerns or regional

proximity. The constant? Simply put: the best

foundations for identifying the right partners

are an international profile and cross-industry

networking. The Texpertise Network offers both,

in perfect combination.

Apparel Fabrics & Fashion

Apparel Fabrics & Fashion

ExceptionalExplore exciting new ideas from the world of apparel and fashion! Inspired by new colours, designs and materials from all over the world, our shows present fascinat-ing combinations – as stimulating as the changes that are happening in the fashion industry itself. Our ‘Top Trends’ are today’s showcase of the topics that the sector will be talking about tomorrow.

Experience the fabrics that will shape the future.

Our exhibitors are extremely important. They

operate at the industry’s cutting edge and give

apparel and fashion an unmistakeable allure.

But that’s not all. How we showcase the very

latest topics reflects what our visitors love

about our trade fairs: the fact that they are

carefully curated and inspiringly presented.

And, at the same time, the comprehensible

and practical information on offer here can

be put to direct use.

Live know-howExhibitors and visitors should always find the

ideal conditions at a trade fair. Not only do we

celebrate our customer focus, we live it each

and every day. That’s why maximum dependa-

bility and highly professional event organisation

are top priorities for us. Seems too good to be

true? We invite you to come and find out for

yourself!

Careful attention to detailAnyone who has ever let their hand caress a

beautiful fabric knows that quality lies in the

detail. The basic materials such as fibres and

yarns yield the potential for something excep-

tional. Only by paying close attention to detail

can you expect to achieve optimal results.

Perhaps it’s this passion for sources and origins

that makes our trade shows so unique.

Would you be satisfied with less?Creativity is in evidence at every stage, not

simply in the finished garment. Alongside

designers and fashion retailers, the final

product bears witness to the extensive skills

of weavers, dyers, tanners and finishers. What

does this mean for our trade fairs? It means

that they provide a surprising and compelling

showcase that spans the entire world of apparel

and fashion – in all its facets. No one now has

to limit themselves to a restricted selection.

What comes first: the idea or the collection? For us there’s no question.

We sense the industry’s vibrations before they reach the market. With each of our fairs we bring together all the highlights in a way that is unrivalled. What should you expect? Nothing less than the latest developments in the textile and fashion industry.

Interior & Contract Textiles

InnovativeThe industry is propelled by the desire for an aesthetic lifestyle and the beautification of living spaces. Inspiration for new styles of living can be found in many countries around the world. But you don’t necessarily have to go there! Each of our trade fairs concentrates all trends in a single location. That makes things easier, doesn’t it?

that runs through all our fairs. International

trends and related innovations are shaping

regional markets. Alterations to detail mature

into great ideas. This vibrant exchange is what

encourages our exhibitors to play an active role

in the process of change and also attracts visi-

tors from all over the world, not to mention our

broad and diverse range of products.

DynamicThe market for technical textiles is bursting with life! And it is constantly growing. That’s why it continually requires new solutions for the pro-duction and processing of materials. Market players exhibit the same dynamism and are engaging in even more networking than before. Inter-national collaborations are combining with regional proximity. Can you feel the excitement?

Technical Textiles & Textile Processing

Cooperation makes the difference.

Collaboration across all disciplines must have firm foundations. We offer a platform for the ongoing development of new areas of application and new production processes. The result? Shared ways of thinking and doing business. For shared progress.

In the growth market of technical textiles, sup-

pliers in the areas of technologies, materials,

processing and applications must cooperate

closely, particularly in view of future develop-

ments. The dynamism of Industry 4.0 will sub-

ject the sector to further change. Perhaps even

more strongly than ever before.

The success duo: Techtextil and Texprocess.Two events that work with each other and for

each other. By linking Techtextil and Texprocess

in Frankfurt and Atlanta, we have established an

excellent basis for ensuring our ongoing suc-

cess to the benefit of customers in this age

of constant change. Synergies with greater

promise are surely few and far between!

Techtextil and Texprocess cover all aspects

of technical textiles and functional clothing

textiles – including production and processing.

These two fairs are designed to showcase the

most innovative materials and the latest tech-

nologies; in other words, the future of the textile

and textile machinery industry.

16

Technical Textiles & Textile Processing

The driving force? Without a doubt, this lies in

the innovative materials, the constant stream

of potential new applications, digital transfor-

mation and the fresh opportunities presented

by intelligent networking.

Promoting talented youngstersHere, too, the same applies: thinking ahead is

essential! Thanks to our Student Competition,

the Innovative Apparel Show and Texprocess

Campus, we have launched important initiatives

to establish the next generation of idea providers

in their careers in technical textiles.

Textile Care

Textile Care

Harmonious“And” not “or”. In this era of constant change, we must be able to combine automation with resource conservation, and growth with sustainability. A challenge that we are only too happy to accept.

19

Textile Care

The integration of innovation and sustainability.

The solutions that the industry is now demanding must fulfil a multitude of different requirements. Above all, they must blend innovative technology and sustainable business into one entity. Our mission: the integration of all activities in one overall platform.

20

Textile Care

The demands on the industry are high. Automa-

tion and the digital synchronisation of the flow

of goods and information are among the current

challenges faced in the area of textile care – as is

the implementation of innovations from logistics

and the IT and software industry. The sector

furthermore faces new requirements with

regard to sustainable business, conservation

of resources and environmental protection.

Global leaderWith Texcare International in Frankfurt am Main,

we organise the leading trade fair for the textile

cleaning sector. Events in Moscow and Shanghai

extend the offer to additional attractive locations.

The high quality and international profile of visi-

tors reflect the uniqueness of this event. Thanks

to their range of products and solutions, our

exhibitors are pacesetters and market leaders.

During the fair itself, machines can be seen in

operation, thus underlining the event’s major

relevance to industry.

An area experiencing strong growth is textile

leasing, including workwear and protective and

functional clothing. Another integral component

is radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology,

which is enjoying increasing popularity. It is used

to identify textiles and furthermore enhances

service quality for the customer.

And that’s not all: the practically oriented lectures

at the Texcare Forum in Frankfurt and Russia

are designed to consolidate the latest industry

topics. The forum therefore serves as an additional

magnet for highly qualified decision makers.
