FRANKFURT AM MAIN, Germany — Messe Frankfurt, organizer of Texcare International, reports registration is open for exhibitors interested in attending the Nov. 27-Dec. 1, 2021, event here, which was rescheduled due to the coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic.
Companies that reserve their place by Jan. 29, 2021, will benefit from an early-booking discount.
“By stating their intention to exhibit at Texcare International, companies register their interest in taking part in the fair in Frankfurt next year,” says Texcare Director Johannes Schmid-Wiedersheim. “When the early-booking deadline has expired, we will begin positioning exhibitors successively and making agreements with them.
“By this time, it should be possible to assess how the pandemic is developing in global terms. The latest news from China gives us good reason to be optimistic.”
Messe Frankfurt says Texcare Asia & China Laundry Expo took place in Shanghai in October, generating important impulses in the recovering Chinese market. Great interest was shown not only in hygiene solutions but also in digital technologies and smart laundry systems.
Texcare International 2021 is set to be the first post-pandemic trade fair to bring together suppliers and users from all of the world’s key textile-care markets, according to the organizer.
“Following the postponement and the disruption caused by the crisis, expectations on next autumn’s Texcare International are particularly high,” says Kerstin Horaczek, group show director technology, Messe Frankfurt. “Manufacturers are in urgent need of a platform to present and demonstrate their explanation-intensive innovations to an international audience of trade visitors.”
The trade fair organizer says Texcare International visitors—operators of laundries, dry cleaners and textile service—have been affected to a widely differing extent by the corona pandemic, depending on whether they service health facilities, hotels, restaurants, industrial companies, the installation trade or consumers.
To make their business fit for the future, they are looking for solutions to current challenges (e.g., professional hygiene, process optimization and customer-structure diversification), and they see great opportunities in the increasing debate about the reliability of supplies and sustainability concerning recycling in the textile sector.
In addition to the physical event, exhibitors and visitors of Texcare International will be able to access the sector’s biggest online product show for a whole year. The latest products of the exhibitors will be available on the Texcare website until the coming fair.
