Honeywell International, Henry Ardiff, Principal Scientist, Specialty Materials Advance Fibers & Composites, USA:
“Attending Techtextil North America and Texprocess Americas is a great way for an industry newcomer to start building their base. An informative symposium, live demonstrations with real materials on real equipment, and high energy presenters result in a rich experience.”
Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Blaine Kessler, Global Non-Wovens Research & Engineering Development Lab Mechanical Engineering Support, USA: “This was my first visit to Techtextil North America and I was impressed with how many different companies were represented. Even though my expertise is in the Nonwovens arena, we were able to develop a list of four or five potential vendors to follow-up with to further discuss our equipment needs on an upcoming project. With my technical background, I truly enjoyed chatting with the various manufacturers. My colleague and I came away with some cool ideas that will enable us to be a bit more creative on future projects.”
China Nonwovens & Industrial Textiles Association Ph.D., Mr. Li Lingshen, Chairman, Beijing, China: “Techtextil North America as part of the Messe Frankfurt Techtextil Brand is the perfect platform for Chinese companies in the technical textile field to engage in foreign markets. Not only are they doing business at events like these, but they are also able to learn a lot.”
Gehring Textiles, Bill Christmann, VP Sales, USA: “Overall, I would say one of the best shows in the past few years - based on quality of attendees; feasibility and viability of their needs; and expectation of real and probable new business opportunities germinated over these three days.... Honestly, I have never been a part of a show with so few 'tire kickers.”
Kraig Biocraft Laboratories, Inc., Kim K Thompson, CEO, USA: "Techtextil North America was an ideal venue for us to debut our products and technology to the technical textile industry. We found it to be unmatched in terms of providing us with networking probabilities and connections to potential customers and corporate partners.”
Navis Tube Tex, Jeff Dixon, Senior Director, International Sales, USA: “We feel the Techtextil North America was beneficial to assisting Navis TubeTex to continue expanding into the technical and industrial markets.”
TenCate Protective Fabrics, Mike Allen, Senior Director of Marketing, USA: “Techtextil North America has stepped it up a notch and has proven to be one of the best shows we have exhibited at in years! The exhibit hall stayed crowded with quality buyers and produced the key people we have been reaching out to. The collocation between Techtextil North America and Texprocess Americas was brilliant! We look forward to participating in Anaheim in 2013 and going back to Atlanta in 2014!”
Texel, a division of ADS Inc., François Bourgault, Marketing Manager, USA: “The Techtextil North America Show has always been the most productive Trade Show for us. The 2012 Edition was no exception and once again delivered a very good Return On Investment for Texel. The Messe Frankfurt team and their subcontractors were also available and easy to work with, before, during and after the Show. “
Textiles Omnes S.A., Jefe de Ventas, Columbia: “We had a very good show, many visitors and hopefully promising new business.”
Techtextil North America 2013 The tenth edition of Techtextil North America, the only trade show in the Americas dedicated to technical textiles and nonwovens, will be held March 19 – 21, 2013 at the Hilton Anaheim in Anaheim, California.
