ITMA 2015, a leading textile and garment machinery exhibition, is getting ready to 1,300 technology and raw material manufacturing exhibitors who have already confirmed their attendance.

The show that takes place from 12-19 November 2015 in Milan will present an expanded fibre and yarn showcase, with a new sub-chapter on recycled fibres and yarns.

The debut of the fibre and yarn chapter at ITMA 2011 was endorsed as an excellent platform by exhibitors, organisers say.

New sub-chapter

 According to the data, almost all of the exhibitors surveyed at the event that was held in 2011 indicated they would return with a bigger participation. Among the major brands who participated at ITMA 2011 are Rieter, Rhodia, Hermann Bühler AG and Lenzing.

“The introduction of the new sub-chapter on recycled fibres and yarns at ITMA 2015 will be a boon to textile and garment makers and manufacturers and professionals from other industrial sectors,” said Serkan Gülmurat, Director of Foreign Trade Department, Kale Iplik.

“It provides us with an excellent platform to showcase our recycled yarn which is Kale Iplik's commitment towards the planet as well as the global textile and garment industry.”

Business platform

ITMA is the business platform for fibre and yarn producers that attracts an international pool of buyers sourcing for end to end solutions in the production of traditional textile and innovative textile materials.

Attended by global brands and apparel groups such as Adidas, Aeffe, Benetton, Burberry, Hugo Boss, Inditex, Levi's, Nike and Reebok, the show presents a rare opportunity for fibre and yarn producers to work alongside machinery partners during live demonstrations.

It is also said to be the only exhibition in the world that features the largest and most comprehensive range of textile and garment technology products and raw materials in one venue.

Environment standards

“At Buhler, we are committed to produce high quality yarns through the highest environment standards in our production process,” commented Martin Kägi, CEO, Bühler Group.

“The sustainability theme for ITMA 2015 underscores the importance of the drive towards sustainability in the entire textile and garment value chain. We look forward to showcasing our latest innovations that promote sustainability at the show.”
