"The great advantage of Frankfurt is that the spotlight is on fabrics and nothing but fabrics. Thus, discussions with trade visitors are very focused and efficient. It is a real pleasure to be back again", says Urs Schläpfer, General Manager, Mira-X Stoffe AG, Switzerland, confirm-ing the high visitor quality.

After Germany, the ten biggest visitor nations were Italy, Great Brit-ain, the USA, Spain, China, Turkey, Greece, France, The Nether-lands and Belgium/Luxemburg. There were 15.2 % more visitors from Europe, 7.7 % more from America and 21.7 % more from Asia. Altogether, the visitors came from 122 countries thus once again con-firming the position of the Heimtextil as the world's biggest trade fair for home and contract textiles.

With 1,713 companies, Europe once again accounted for the biggest percentage of exhibitors who represent not only 60 % of all exhibitors but also 72 % of the exhibition space occupied (net). The number of exhibitors from outside Germany rose by 105 (+ 4.5 %) to 2,407, which means international exhibitors accounted for no less than 83 % of the total. The increase in the number of exhibitors came primarily from Asian countries such as India, Pakistan, the People's Republic of China, Singapore and South Korea. Altogether, 68 nations from all five continents took part in the fair.
