“Thus, against the background of the favourable economic climate, the mood at this year's Texcare International was excellent. All exhibitors and visitors said they were satisfied. Texcare Forum and the fashion show were given a very good reception and are now essential aspects of the fair. All in all, trade visitors from all over the world were able to see the latest trends in the sector and gain a very good impression of the manufacturers' capabilities. Thus, Texcare International has con­firmed its reputation as the leading international trade fair for the sector in full."

Particular interest was shown in the four days of lectures at the Texcare Forum, which attracted no less than 1,180 international visitors. The new subdivision into themed days was also very well received – Future Day, Innovation Day, Sustainable Day and Market Day offered detailed insights into subjects of particular interest to the sector.

Texcare Forum was organised by Intex and DTV in co­operation with Messe Frankfurt.

One of the highlights of Texcare International was the fashion show entitled 'The future world of workwear today' at which manufacturers presented their latest collections and revealed the colour, style and function trends set to dominate workwear, professional apparel and protective garments in the industrial, health-care and tourism sec­tors.
