The organizers of the three key industry trade shows in the Americas – ATME-I/MEGATEX, SPESA Expo, and Techtextil North America – have jointly announced that they have reached a landmark agreement to co-locate and align their trade shows at the Georgia World Congress Center, Atlanta, GA on May 18-20, 2010.

Techtextil North America is the premier exhibition for high performance technical textiles and nonwovens in North America. This is the only trade show that assembles all vertical aspects of the technical textile industry. From research and development, through raw materials and production processes, finally ending in conversion, further treatment and recycling. Held in conjunction with the show, the Techtextil North America Symposium offers several sessions, covering various application areas, focusing on the latest in research and emerging technology.

ATME-I/MEGATEX – American Textile Machinery Exhibition – International is the largest show of its kind in the Americas, drawing buyers of textile equipment and services to see the very best textile manufacturing technology in the world. ATME-I is one of the key international events for textile equipment buyers operators and professionals worldwide. The exhibition covers all types of textile equipment and services: dyeing, finishing, spinning, weaving, knitting, non-wovens, processing, making up and much more. It is recognized as the leading exhibition for the textile machinery, equipment, accessories, supplies and services for the yarn and fiber, weaving, knitting, dyeing, printing and finishing and for other nonwoven manufacturing industries. The roots of this long established, four-yearly show can be traced back to 1915, when the first Southern Textile Exposition was held in Greenville, SC. Since then the show has developed to reflect the changing face of textiles technology and production service solutions. The most recent edition of ATME-I/MEGATEX took place in Atlanta in October 2006.
