Last April, the 2024 edition of the TechTextil exhibition joint lots of international exhibitors who presented the entire spectrum of technical textiles, nonwovens, functional apparel textiles and textile technologies. Texprocess, the leading trade fair for the apparel and textile processing industry, took place parallel to Techtextil.
More than 38.000 visitors from 102 countries, including industry, academia, EU institutions and citizens, participated in the 20th Techtextil, which took place from 23 to 26 April 2024 in Frankfurt, Germany.
Techtextil is the only platform in the world to showcase the entire range of high-tech textiles across 12 application areas. Some examples of applications are medical textiles with a virus barrier, fibre structures for sound insulation in the construction industry or technical nonwovens for the automotive industry.
As project experts in functionalised (antimicrobial, self-cleaning, etc) sustainable textiles aimed for technical textiles, our colleagues from KORTEX had a booth at the fair, promoting, among others, the SSbD4CheM project. Additionally, they took the chance of learning on new developments technical and sustainable textiles, networking and engaging with relevant stakeholders.
