Heimtextil: Summer Special in June 2022
Heimtextil, the leading international trade fair for home and contract textiles, will be held as a one-time Summer Special from 21 to 24 June – at the same time as Techtextil and Texprocess, the respective leading trade fairs for technical textiles and nonwovens and for the processing of textile and flexible materials. Thanks to the parallelism of the three trade fairs, national and international buyers will be able for the first time to experience global trends and innovations along large parts of the textile value chain bundled in one place - starting with fibers and yarns, through functional textiles, textile technologies and production and finishing processes, to the end product for textile interiors and recycling.
"The close proximity to Techtextil and Texprocess provides Heimtextil buyers with exciting new perspectives on innovative functionalities of technical textiles or also nonwovens as well as processing technologies for the home textiles industry. Through these synergies, we create additional incentives to attract national and international buyers for the re-launch of Heimtextil in summer, explains Olaf Schmidt, Vice President Textiles & Textile Technologies. And adds: It is great to see the high level of trust that our exhibitors have in us, even after more than two years of the pandemic. The results of the vote and the first confirmations of participation show: The need to finally return to personal business meetings and new global contacts in
face-to-face exchanges before the end of this year is as strong as ever – even if the reunion this year will take place in a different setting than usual. Francisco Jover Pastor, CEO of Jover Group sagt: "From our point of view, it is a good decision to reschedule Heimtextil to summer this year. We need a platform to present our new products to the market. The industry needs to see each other again, a personal relationship is important. We hope that the situation this summer will allow exhibitors and visitors to travel freely and that the fair will mark the beginning of a return to normality." (am)
