Compared to recent seasons, the rising raw materials and energy costs along with the much stronger negative trend in the international economy will feature more prominently in the discussions. Many textile companies are expecting increasing cost pressure burdens.
Price increases are no longer being ruled out and in some cases have already been announced to customers, because the last drastic cost increases, particularly in the energy sector, could no longer be offset by efficiency programmes.
The management at munich fabric start know all about the difficult situation. Exhibition Director Wolfgang Klinder: “We have organized the fair in such a way that with the additional trend range for kids and teens, a strong input through art, with new collections and refinements in the event organization, we can inspire our exhibitors as well as visitors ensuring that they all take a positive energy impulse with them into the new season.”
