Intertextile Shanghai Home Textiles international participation
will be enhanced this year with pavilions from Belgium,
India, Morocco, Portugal, Pakistan, Taiwan and Turkey in the
International Area. As a regular exhibitor, velvet supplier
Boyteks Tekstil from Turkey views Intertextile Shanghai as the
most effective fair in Asia. “In addition to China, we’ve had
buyers last year from South America, New Zealand, Australia
and the US, and many placed sample orders with us which
we believe will develop into good business afterwards,” Sales
& Marketing Manager, Dr. Gökmen Kara said. He was also
optimistic about the potential in China. “We think China will
become one of our most important markets soon because
the market is huge and the number of rich people is probably
more than Turkey’s population. If you have articles for this
market segment, your business will be in good shape.”
Intertextile Shanghai Home Textiles – Autumn Edition is
organized by Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd; the Sub-Council
of Textile Industry, CCPIT; and the China Home Textile
Association (CHTA).
