The combined show owners – CEMATEX and the Sub-Council of Textile Industry, CCPIT (CCPIT-Tex), China Textile Machinery Association (CTMA) and China Exhibition Centre Group Corporation (CIEC) – are pleased with the positive response received for space application. Compared to the previous edition, the size of the exhibition is expected to be bigger. To-date, about 1,700 leading textile machinery manufacturers have applied for space. Among them are CHTC, Cixing, Fadis, Groz-Beckert, Itema, Karl Mayer, Memminger-Iro, Murata, Picanol, Rifa, Saurer, Savio, Shima Seiki, SPGPrints, Staubli, Tsudakoma, Truetzschler, Toyota, Vandewiele and Yoantion.

Mr Ernesto Maurer, President of CEMATEX said: “The textile industry is undergoing rapid transformation due to factors such as digitalisation and sustainability. Automated systems are driving efficiency across fibre processing, yarn production, weaving, dyeing and finishing. Textile machinery manufacturers are excited to promote these technologies at the upcoming ITMA ASIA + CITME exhibition.”

The combined exhibition will be held from 14 to 18 October 2024 at the National Exhibition and Convention Centre, Shanghai, China, showcasing a comprehensive range of machinery, from spinning, weaving, knitting, nonwoven, printing and inks, dyeing and finishing, to garment making, recycling, testing and packaging.
