ITMA expansion not enough to satisfy exhibitor demand
20/08/2018
ITMA 2019 will take place from June 20-26, 2019 in Barcelona, Spain. The venue has space for 1,660 exhibitors and this was fully booked by the application deadline in April. Many more applicants have been placed on a waiting list.
Fritz Mayer, president of organiser CEMATEX (the European Committee of Textile Machinery Manufacturers), has said: “The response for ITMA 2019 is so overwhelming that we have not been able to meet the demand for space despite adding two more exhibition halls. ITMA is a show for the industry, by the industry. Hence, we are of the opinion that ITMA should feature a wide spectrum of cutting-edge solutions from as many solutions providers as possible, whether established or new-to-market.”
One of the top sectors in terms of space allocated will be spinning machinery. Printing will have a standalone area in 2019, having previously been part of the finishing sector. There will also be space dedicated to the garment making sector.
