Covering an area of more than 1,300 sq metres, the exhibition shows textile innovations made in Germany from the fields of technical textiles, nonwovens, textile-processing machines, smart textiles and textile research. Additionally, the exhibitors will introduce their products and services in lectures, demonstrations and multi-media presentations at the ‘Plaza’.

“The USA is one of the most important export markets for German textile companies. For us as representatives of the German textile sector, the joint presentation within the framework of ´High-Tex from Germany´ is a great opportunity to cultivate existing contacts in the USA and to make new ones,” says Marc Lorch, member of the board of clothing and fabric manufacturer Zwissler Holding and exhibitor president of the participating companies.

With its Gertex and Zoeppritex divisions, Zwisstex and other exhibitors will present the latest fabrics and technologies for laminating, backing and coating, primarily for the automobile sector, while at the Kufner Textile Group, trade visitors from the outdoor, fashion and sports industries will find insoles and, at wool-based yarn supplier Südwolle Group, technical yarns.
