This year’s Texprocess, a leading trade fair for the garment-manufacturing and textile processing industry, which took place concurrently with Techtextil in Frankfurt, last week, has set a record as the biggest edition ever, welcoming 312 exhibitors from 36 countries, an increase of 14% compared to 2015. Over 47,500 visitors from 114 countries made their way to Frankfurt to visit the two exhibitions.
