Key fringe events to further promote industry evolution

Across the three-day fair, leading experts from a range of enterprises and institutes will bolster innovation and sustainability exchange at the fair’s fringe programme. As part of Messe Frankfurt’s Texpertise Network, Cinte Techtextil China promotes the textile industry’s eco-transition, and at this edition will launch its Sustainability Guided Tours to support green exhibitors. There will be two separate tours, with the first focusing on Mobiltech on Day 1 and the second on other highlighted exhibitors on Day 2. External sustainability expert Mr Karl Borgschulze will host both, sharing his knowledge and facilitating the building of meaningful connections.

Other highlighted events include:

+ Panel discussion – Innovation as a Driver for Sustainability: Managing Complex Requirements in the Global Textile Industry (Hall E1 – G13)

Finally, on Day 3, there will also be a press conference for moist toilet tissues hosted by CNITA, and co-organised by Henan Yixiang Hygiene Technology (Deeyeo) and the domestic TECHNICAL TEXTILES magazine. As an innovative product with an application scope different from ordinary wet wipes, a more updated set of standards is needed to meet moist toilet wet tissues’ performance requirements and to improve the user experience. The event aims to promote the implementation of these standards, foster improved quality and technological innovation amongst manufacturers, and better protect consumers’ interests. Improved standards are conducive to the sub-sector’s development towards the high-end market and increasing the international competitiveness of Chinese products.
