Owned by CEMATEX, next year's event is anticipated to keep the standard of exhibitors as high as ever, with CEMATEX's President, Mr Fritz P. Mayer saying, “The combined showcase is highly appreciated by leading textile machinery industry players as it offers them a cost-effective platform for their products and services in Asia. In today’s global market, textile makers are sourcing innovative solutions and upgrading their facilities. The drive for better technological solutions is expected to grow in Asia, especially China.
