China International Trade Fair for Apparel Fabrics &
Accessories, Shanghai New International Exhibition Centre, Shanghai, China, 20-
23 October 2008
9 September 2008, Shanghai- More than 2,400 suppliers from
30 countries have confirmed their attendance at Intertextile Shanghai Apparel
Fabrics set for 20 - 23 October 2008 at the Shanghai New International Expo
Centre, Shanghai China. The show has blossomed to 10 halls with more than
115,000 sqm of trade space.
A highlight at the show will be four unique booths created
by international chemical fibre makers to showcase the applications for their
speciality products.
For example, rather than explaining how Lenzing's latest two
products work, the Austrian company has invited 37 weaving mills that use the
products to show the innovative fabrics they've created. Lenzing will highlight
the launch of the Tencel and Lenzing Modal knitted and woven collections. By
including weaving mills at the booth, Lenzing will help visitors to better
understand these products and to source fabrics containing them more easily.
Lenzing will also feature the Promodal, Micromodal, Lenzing
FR and viscose brands and will feature display entries to its worldwide Fabric
Competition in its booth. Visitors can register at the booth to serve on the
contest jury.
Invista from USA will
feature a booth with 35 mills that use its Coolmax, Lycra and Thermolite
brands. Invista will also do product demonstrations in the new Lingerie &
Swimwear Fabrics zone.
USA company Dow Fibers Solutions will showcase its XLA
brand, the world's first olefin-based stretch fibre that is resistant to harsh
chemicals and high heat. Visitors to Dow's booth will see the XLA application
on denim products and other products from Dow's global mill partners. Dow will
also present trend forecasting for autumn 2009 / winter 2010.
Hyosung from Korea together with nine mills will showcase
its spandex brand Creora; nylon fibre line Mipan; and latent crimped yarn
XANADU 55, a highly flexible and comfortable polyester.
Products arranged by end use for easy visitor navigation
Visitors looking for other products will have no trouble
finding other places to look for products at the shop. For the first time,
Chinese domestic halls will be organised by end use to help visitors find what
they need. Zones and pavilions in the International halls will be set up for:
* Suppliers from Germany, Italy, Japan, Korea, Pakistan,
Portugal, Taiwan, Thailand and Turkey
* Lingerie and swimwear fabrics
* Accessories in Hall W4
* Finished garments from ASEAN countries as part of Source
It.
