With three months still to go before Texprocess opens its doors, 95 percent of the exhibition space occupied by the previous fair has already been sold. Thus, Messe Frankfurt is looking forward to a very well booked third edition of the Leading International Trade Fair for Processing Textile and Flexible Materials (4 to 7 May 2015).
“Clearly, the market leaders find the concept of Texprocess compelling. At this point in time two years ago, we had only sold 70 percent of the space taken by the previous event”, says Olaf Schmidt, Vice President Textiles & Textile Technologies. Moreover, new exhibitors from all parts of the textile value chain have announced their intention to take part.
The registration level for Texprocess is stable or increasing in all product segments. More exhibitors are expected in the ‘textile machinery’, ‘Stitching, joining and fastening technology, automation technology’ and ‘textile finishing’ segments. There have also been positive developments in the fields of ‘cutting room and automation technology’ and ‘product processing and finishing’.

The new heart of Texprocess and the concurrent Techtextil is the ‘Innovative Apparel Show’ in the foyer of Halls 5.1 and 6.1. There, four universities and fashion schools will present their innovative designs on all four days of the fair. After a stage presentation, they will explain the processes and materials used. These and further creations by the students will be on show at a special exhibition in Hall 6.1.
Texprocess Innovation Award
For the third time running, Messe Frankfurt will give the Texprocess Innovation Award for the best new developments at the fair. Entries are invited from all exhibitors of Texprocess 2015, as well all other companies, institutes, universities and individuals. The deadline for receipt is 20 February 2015.
The awards in the various categories will be presented during the joint opening ceremony of Texprocess and Techtextil in Room Dimension (Hall 4.2) on 4 May 2015. At the same time, all products selected for the Texprocess Innovation Award will be on show in a special exhibition in Hall 4.0.
