Texcare International, the leading global trade fair for laundry, drycleaning, and textile services, is set to undergo significant changes in response to the desires of exhibitors and visitors. Organizers have listened attentively and made adjustments to both the event's timing and days of the week, aiming to better accommodate participants.
Starting from 2024, Texcare International will span four days, running from Wednesday to Saturday, specifically from November 6 to November 9, in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Every four years, Texcare International brings together the global textile-care sector, focusing on technological advancements and fostering knowledge exchange among international business partners. To prepare for the upcoming event, Messe Frankfurt conducted thorough surveys among exhibitors and visitors, both nationally and internationally.
The results were decisive: a majority favored an autumn timeframe, preferred a condensed four-day schedule, and desired enhanced opportunities for learning and networking. Kerstin Horaczek, Vice President of Technology Shows at Messe Frankfurt, emphasized the importance of staying attuned to industry needs and collaboration.
The organizers are thrilled to meet the changing requirements of participants through the new timing and assure attendees that the event's content will also evolve accordingly. In addition, participants were asked about post-Covid challenges for textile care companies.
The key concerns that emerged were the automation of work processes to address the shortage of skilled workers, improving efficiency and quality, and securing energy supplies. The reduction of emissions also garnered significant relevance, highlighting the impact of global political situations on the textile care industry, including high energy costs, supply shortages, conflicts like the war in Ukraine, and the pressing issue of climate change.
Further details and the final thematic focus of Texcare 2024 will be unveiled throughout the year. Exhibitor registration for Texcare International will commence in September 2023. Texcare International's commitment to the industry extends beyond its flagship event in Frankfurt. Messe Frankfurt offers additional textile care gatherings in key economic regions worldwide.
Texcare Asia & China Laundry Expo, the industry's premier meeting in the dynamic Asian markets, is scheduled for September 25-27, 2023. Preparations are already underway for Texcare France, taking place from November 25-27, 2023. Furthermore, The Clean Show will be held in Orlando, USA, from August 23-26, 2025.
