How to enter technical textiles markets - the 4th symposium is to be jointly organized by International Newsletters Ltd and citeve from 22 to 23 March 2007 at Porto, Portugal.

As the global economy makes consumer textile manufacture more and more competitive, textiles companies are coming to see higher added-value products as essential to a profitable future. However, to enter or expand in these markets can be very difficult.

All elements of the manufacturing chain need to be re-engineered: not only new product development but also raw materials, machinery, manufacturing processes, marketing and sales techniques, testing and quality control, and certification; from finding new suppliers to targeting new customers.

Whether you are a traditional textiles company seeking to enter the technical textiles market for the first time, a technical textiles company wishing to expand into new market areas, or simply a technical textiles company wanting to keep ahead of the increasing worldwide competition, this symposium is designed to ease that process.

It will analyse all the areas which a company needs to consider when making this transition: which markets should I choose? how do I re-engineer the company? what machinery and materials do I need? how can I get advice and funding? how do I make the change?

Speakers will be drawn from a wide range of supplier companies, consultants, industry associations and research organisations. Presentations will include case studies from managers of companies that have successfully engineered this change.
