Messe Frankfurt continues expansion into Africa
Exhibition organiser Messe Frankfurt will further expand its portfolio of textile trade fairs in Africa after agreeing a collaboration with the organisers of Maroc in Mode and Maroc Sourcing, two important events in Morocco dedicated to the fashion industry. 

The events have taken place since 2014 and showcase products in a number of categories including denim, lingerie, knitwear, sportswear, workwear and accessories. This year they welcomed 120 exhibitors from Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Turkey, China and a number of Western European countries. 

The move follows on from Messe Frankfurt’s acquisition of two South Africa-based trade shows, Source Africa and ATF (Apparel, Textile & Footwear), and the incorporation of its Texworld, Apparel Sourcing and Texprocess events into the 2017 edition of Africa Sourcing and Fashion Week (October 3-6 in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia).
