“The fact that leading companies from all the CEMATEX member countries have eagerly snapped up available space in Shanghai underlines their belief in the importance of the Asian and Chinese markets and signals that there will be an impressive display of technology at the show.”

Among CEMATEX countries, Germany will have the largest single contingent at ITMA ASIA + CITME 2008, with net space totalling over 9,100 sq. metres, followed by Italy with more than 7,200 sq. metres net, then Switzerland with 5,100 sq. metres net.

The show's partner country, Japan, occupies 3,000 sq. metres net. From the host nation, China, there will be a massive display of equipment, covering more than 33,000 sq. metres net.

In terms of major product categories on view, the yarn production and processing (spinning and winding) sector will occupy the largest stand space area, with a total of about 30,000 sq. metres net.

Dyeing, finishing and printing machinery will cover more than 18,000 sq. metres net, with weaving machines and knitting and hosiery machines each taking up around 11,000 sq. metres net.

ITMA ASIA + CITME is jointly owned by CEMATEX and a Chinese consortium made up of CCPIT (Sub-council of Textile Industry, China Council for the Promotion of International Trade), CTMA (China Textile Machinery Association), and CIEC (China International Exhibition Centre Group Corporation).

The show will take up all 11 halls at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre, which was opened in 2001 in the city's Pudong business district.

The halls are laid out in two blocks and the exhibits will be arranged according to the familiar CEMATEX product categories, as follows:-
• In the Eastern block, halls E1, E2 and part of hall E3 will accommodate dyeing and finishing machinery and accessories.
• Hall E3 will also feature making-up, testing, dyestuffs and chemicals and software.
• Halls E4 and part of E5 will house knitting and hosiery machinery and accessories.
• Hall E6 and part of E5 will accommodate weaving machinery and accessories.
• In the Western Block, all five halls (W1 to W5) will feature machinery for spinning and winding, with a section of Hall W4 devoted to nonwovens equipment.

Main Entry points to the fair site are located at the North and South ends of the complex, with car parking all around the perimeter.

All the halls feature pillar-free, single-storey construction, with all necessary expert services available on-site.
