With the latest trends, new products and over a thousand exhibitors, Intertextile Beijing Apparel Fabrics 2008 proved itself to be one of the most important textile trade fairs targeting northern China and Beijing. More than 25,000 people visited the show, which ran March 27 - 29, 2008, an increase of 17% over 2007.

Exhibitors were enthusiastic about the fair and in particular, the number of high-quality buyers. "We had really good customers. It's getting better each year - no one is coming just to look at the fabrics. The buyers who come, they really intend to buy," said Mr Alberto Azzola, of Cotonificio Honegger, Italy.

"The quality of visitors was very high," echoed Shanghai Branch manager Mr Gregory Guttermann, with Guttermann AG, Germany, a first time exhibitor. "They know what they are talking about and what they are doing."

After eight years, Intertextile Beijing Apparel Fabrics has become an essential fixture on the textile trade calendar in northern China.

The show coincides with CHIC, the China International Clothing & Accessories Fair, and the yarn and fibre trade event Yarn Expo, making Beijing a convenient one-stop shop for trade in the region.

The fair was held at the China International Exhibition Centre, with 30% more space than in 2007. More than 1,130 suppliers attended from 15 countries and regions and a new highlight this year was an entire hall dedicated to accessories and a special zone for lace and embroidery products.
