Textile Colourant and Chemical Leaders Forum

The Textile Dyestuff and Chemical Leaders Forum, launched at ITMA 2011, was an industry initiative that drew lively participation from dyestuff, colour and chemical professionals from around the world. The forum has been rebranded as Textile Colourant and Chemical Leaders Forum, to be in line with the ITMA index of products change from dyestuffs to colourants. This forum will be held on 14 November 2015.

Innovation launch pad

ITMA is returning to Milan after 20 years, and response for exhibit space for the 2015 exhibition has been positive. Over 65 per cent of the space booked to date has been reserved by CEMATEX members. Currently, Italy takes the top spot, followed by Germany, Turkey, India, Switzerland and Belgium. Washing, bleaching, dyeing and finishing; spinning; knitting; weaving; and printing are the top sectors.

Ms Sylvia Phua, MP's strategic partner of ITMA 2015, said, “ITMA has a strong reputation as the world's most established textile and garment technology showcase. Every four years, the entire global industry converges at ITMA to witness the launch of cutting-edge innovations. Hence, we are anticipating even more applications to stream in once ITMA ASIA + CITME has concluded as most of the exhibitors have been busy with the combined show."
