Organisers of one of the world’s leading textile and garment technology exhibitions, ITMA 2019, have hailed the demand for space at next year’s event, adding that it is already fully booked despite the addition of two extra halls to the floor plan.
The exhibition will now occupy all nine exhibition halls at the Fira de Barcelona, Gran Via venue in Spain on 20-26 June 2019.

“The response for ITMA 2019 is so overwhelming that we have not been able to meet the demand for space despite adding two more exhibition halls,” says Fritz Mayer, president of Cematex, which owns the ITMA exhibition. “ITMA is a show for the industry, by the industry. Hence, we are of the opinion that ITMA should feature a wide spectrum of cutting-edge solutions from as many solutions providers as possible, whether established or new-to-market.”
Charles Beauduin, chairman of ITMA Services, says the event will accommodate some 1,660 exhibitors from 47 countries.
Among the sectors represented at the event are spinning, printing, and garment manufacture – where solutions are expected to include artificial intelligence, robotics, vision systems and other advanced automation.
As the textile and garment industry trends towards an integrated manufacturing value chain, many new-to-ITMA solutions providers are taking part in next year’s event, including Borsoi, Bullmer, Card Clothing & Services, Han’s Yueming Laser, Juki, Serkon Tekstil and SoftWear Automation.
