Don't get lost in the crowds: our editorial team has begun posting information about the plans of the exhibitors at the next Techtextil. Keep checking our News Section to help plan your way around the busy Halls in Frankfurt next May.

In addition, Technical-Textiles.Net will be exhibiting and you can visit our team at the event (Hall 4.1, Stand number FOY06).
