New Sportswear Pro event partners with Spanish sports association

14/11/2019
The inaugural Sportswear Pro event has garnered official support from AFYDAD, the Spanish sports association. The exhibition and forum, to be held 24-27 March 2020 at IFEMA in Madrid, has also released a growing number of participating companies. 

As part of the partnership, AFYDAD will promote Sportswear Pro with its members in the run-up to the event and will take part in the Triathcon programme of seminars, focusing on the state of the sports market in the Iberian region. Members of AFYDAD will receive free entrance to the event and a guided tour, among other benefits.

“We are proud to be collaborating with Sportswear Pro and, of course, we wanted to support an international event that held its first edition in our country,” said Marta Mercader, general secretary of AFYDAD. The event will be a good opportunity for their many association members who use textile printing technology and, she added, “Sportswear Pro will have conferences dedicated to sustainability and digitisation which are two key focus areas for AFYDAD.” 

The current line up includes companies such as FK Group Spa, Perma Press AB, Tajima DST, Gemini CAD and Caron Technology, which will showcase innovations in manufacturing technologies for sports and athleisure garments, such as heat transfer systems, fabric cutting equipment and automatic spreaders and loading systems.
