Advansa and Paltex ‘most searched for’ at Performance Days

07/06/2013
A functional fabric from yarn producer Südwolle and Advansa was the most searched-for fabric in Performance Days’ forum at the recent edition of the Munich-based fair.

‘Ferntree’ combines ThermoCool for thermoregulation with the natural feel of merino wool and was searchable by QR code using the event’s mobile tool.

Two laminates from Taiwan’s Paltex were the second and third most searched for. They have technical specifications of 15K/15K and were the highlights in the softshell category, said organisers. One has embossed prints in a honeycomb structure for a three dimensional look, while the other fabric used a punchneedle technique to create lightness.

Organisers of the fair reported continued growth, with 11% more visitors than May last year and 10% more exhibitors. More than two-thirds of the exhibit stands for the winter edition (November 19-21) have already been filled.
