Key fringe events to further promote industry evolution
Across the three-day fair, leading experts from a range of enterprises and institutes will bolster innovation and sustainability exchange at the fair’s fringe programme. As part of Messe Frankfurt’s Texpertise Network, Cinte Techtextil China promotes the textile industry’s eco-transition, and at this edition will launch its Sustainability Guided Tours to support green exhibitors. There will be two separate tours, with the first focusing on Mobiltech on Day 1 and the second on other highlighted exhibitors on Day 2. External sustainability expert Mr Karl Borgschulze will host both, sharing his knowledge and facilitating the building of meaningful connections.
Other highlighted events include:
Panel discussion – Innovation as a Driver for Sustainability: Managing Complex Requirements in the Global Textile Industry (Hall E1 – G13)
AiDLab presentation (Hall E1 – G13) – A discussion on how AI can automate the inspection process of conventional textile, apparel and personal hygiene product manufacturing process
Groz-Beckert presentation (Hall E1 – D01) – An overview of the latest innovative products from the company
The 12th China International Nonwovens Conference (Hall E3 – C58)
2024 Innovation Award (Hall E3 – G55) and Innovation Product Presentations (Hall E1 – G13)
Finally, on Day 3, there will also be a press conference for moist toilet tissues hosted by CNITA, and co-organised by Henan Yixiang Hygiene Technology (Deeyeo) and the domestic TECHNICAL TEXTILES magazine. As an innovative product with an application scope different from ordinary wet wipes, a more updated set of standards is needed to meet moist toilet wet tissues’ performance requirements and to improve the user experience. The event aims to promote the implementation of these standards, foster improved quality and technological innovation amongst manufacturers, and better protect consumers’ interests. Improved standards are conducive to the sub-sector’s development towards the high-end market and increasing the international competitiveness of Chinese products.
The fair’s product categories cover 12 application areas, which comprehensively span a full range of potential uses in modern technical textiles and nonwovens. These categories also cover the entire industry, from upstream technology and raw materials providers to finished fabrics, chemicals and other solutions. This scope of product groups and application areas ensures that the fair is an effective business platform for the entire industry.
Cinte Techtextil China will be held from 19 – 21 September 2024.
The fair is organized by Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd; the Sub-Council of Textile Industry, CCPIT; and the China Nonwovens & Industrial Textiles Association (CNITA).
