Expanding network for Vietnam textile businesses at Techtextil and Texprocess trade fairs

With over 1,600 exhibitors from around 50 countries, Techtextil and Texprocess reflect the extraordinary degree of innovation in the textile sectors. Exhibitors can look forward to meeting buyers and top decision makers from over 90 countries.

Olaf Schmidt, Vice President Textiles & Textile Technologies, Messe Frankfurt, introduced Techtextil and Texprocess 2024 in detail at the press conference held on November 10 in Ho Chi Minh City

The coming editions will be distinguished by several new special areas, such as the Nature Performance area, the Future Materials special show at Techtextil, the Denim Hub and an Emerging Markets area at Texprocess.

“The sectors are undergoing a rapid process of change. Participants at Techtextil and Texprocess will have the opportunity to stay in tune with the times, to present innovations to an audience of experts from all over the world and to find new solutions and business partners”, says Olaf Schmidt, Vice President Textiles & Textile Technologies, Messe Frankfurt, the organizer of Techtextil and Texprocess.

The spectrum of textile solutions presented at Techtextil is unparalleled worldwide. Visitors can discover an extraordinary range of products in twelve areas of application, which are used in many different industries – from automotive to fashion, and from medicine to construction. The latest developments in fibres and yarns, nonwovens, composites, coated textiles, technologies, etc., will be presented by companies at Techtextil, in many cases for the first time in public.

Texprocess is the international platform for exhibitors of the latest machinery, equipment, processes and services for manufacturing garments, as well as textile and flexible materials. The spectrum of products to be seen ranges from sewing technology and materials, embroidery technology, fastening, CAD/CAM and cutting to recycling technologies and much more.

Sustainability and economic efficiency go together and this objective is being promoted by the global trade fairs of Messe Frankfurt – the Texpertise Network – with the reorientation of the company’s sustainable formats. This encompasses not only the overarching heading, ‘Econogy’, which links ecology and economics, but above all the standardisation of sustainable evaluation criteria for the selection of resource-saving products, processes and exhibitors. Econogy thus creates transparency and comparability across the board.

The Innovation Awards are popular highlights at both events. Two high-calibre juries of experts honour the latest, most intelligent and outstanding innovations from the industries. The awards reflect the future of the sectors in terms of new ideas and developments, which offer solutions for the various aspects of digitalisation and artificial intelligence, as well as sustainability, new materials and processes.

Especially, ambitious founders and young entrepreneurs have the chance to present their companies in the start-up areas at Techtextil and Texprocess, to find business partners and investors and thus carve out their way in the sector. For them, the leading trade fairs are the perfect place to put forward their ideas, to find partners and investors and thus find their way into the market. Young, innovative start-up stars show their products to an international audience in the attention-grabbing ‘Textile Production’ and ‘Functional Materials’ start-up areas at Techtextil and at the ‘Textile Processing Technologies’ area at Texprocess.

At Texprocess, the Denim Hub puts the spotlight on sustainable jeans production, processing and recycling. Exhibitors offer first-class insights into their circular strategies while, in the Denim Talks, visitors can learn about sustainable approaches to washing, destroying, bleaching, lasering, dyeing, recycling and upcycling and customising jeans.
