Organizers have dispatched a trade liaison team to visit related associations and large corporations and enterprises located in provinces such as Shandong, Zhejiang, Hubei, Hunan and Jiangsu, with a journey totalling 7,000 kilometres, aimed at promoting and communicating policies of the exhibition and investigate client willingness and preparations for purchasing equipment during the exhibition, and at getting their appraisals on ShanghaiTex.
During the exhibition, the organizers will have a trade liaison office to assist with the purchase of exhibits after the event comes to an end. In addition, organizers will arrange a free shuttle bus, a press centre and IPR office at the exhibition.
This ShanghaiTex will be divided into professional areas upon the request of exhibitors and audiences, i.e. an area for textile and chemical fibre machinery, an area for weaving machinery, an area for printing and dying machinery, an area for clothes machinery, an area for knitting machinery and an area for related spare parts, with a view to provide specialized equipment users a more comprehensive service.
