Come October, ITMA ASIA 2005 is gearing up for another mega international showcase in Singapore.
The 2nd Asian international exhibition of textile machinery, ITMA ASIA, will be held from 17 to 21 October 2005. Space sales for this second show are over 20 percent greater than for the show in 2001, and to date the event has attracted the participation of 753 participants from 33 economies to display their latest textile machinery, related products and services.
Show owner, The European Committee of Textile Machinery Manufacturers (CEMATEX), attributed the support from the industry to the strong interest in Asia, which has the biggest gathering of textile economies and the leading export source of textiles.
Mr Edward Roberts, President of CEMATEX, said: “More than half of the participants are European manufacturers as Asia is an important market for our members. The Asian textile and garment industry is expanding rapidly to meet the challenges of a more competitive global marketplace.”
According to Meeting Planners International Pte Ltd (MPI), the local organiser of ITMA ASIA 2005, applications for space are still being received. Ms Sylvia Phua, Chief Executive Officer of MPI, said: “We are still getting requests from potential exhibitors as ITMA ASIA is the leading international textile machinery show in the Asia Pacific region, backed by the support of leading textile machinery associations.”
ITMA ASIA 2005 has the support of CEMATEX member associations and the Japan Textile Machinery Association. It also enjoys the support of other associations including the American Textile Machinery Association, China Textile Machinery Association, Korea Textile Machinery Association and Taiwan Association of Machinery Industry.
