VDMA member companies received an encouraging response at the recent ITMA 2015 trade fair that concluded in Milan last month, with 96 per cent of them expressing satisfaction over both the quantity and the quality of visitors to their booths.

Three out of four VDMA German companies were able to ink new deals during the show, which was the prime motive behind participating in the fair. The company demonstrated that sustainable textile production continues to be a major issue for the industry. According to the VDMA survey, energy and material efficiency were the topics in which customers showed highest interest. 72 per cent of the respondents said that it was a topic of high interest for the customers. Material efficiency ranked number two in the list.

Visitors from Bangladesh, India, Mexico, Pakistan and Turkey showed high demand for VDMA solutions. The company is continuing its series of conferences in dedicated markets. It is planning a forum based upon the theme of ‘German Technology meets Vietnamese Textiles’ in Hanoi on July 5, 2016 and Ho-Chi-Minh-City, on July 7 and 8, 2016, during which VDMA member companies will present their updated technologies to Vietnamese textile producers.

VDMA initiated official German pavilions will make their presence felt at INDO Intertex in Jakarta that takes place from April 27-30, 2016 and Techtextil North America to be held from May 3-5, 2016 in Atlanta.
