SPONSORED CONTENT – Techtextil North America and Texprocess Americas will once again be reunited for one large, co-located industry event in May 2023. The exhibition will build on the success of previous years by bringing together technical textiles, nonwovens, and sewn product sectors, amassing exhibitors from across the globe to showcase the latest, most innovative technologies from all industry sectors. The platform presents an amazing opportunity for visitors to gain essential industry insight, reinforce B2B connections, and become equipped with solutions needed to optimize their production.

“The disruptions caused due to the pandemic have created the need for more flexible sourcing and automated technologies that allow the industry to efficiently scale up production,” says Kristy Meade, Vice President of Technical Shows. “Development in future-oriented fields such as 3D design, blockchain, and sustainable processes are providing multi-faceted insights for businesses to upgrade their shop floors, and Techtextil North America and Texprocess Americas will serve as the ideal industry meeting point to see these advancements in person. At the 2023 edition, visitors can expect to find the most relevant, on-trend innovations and can discover for themselves how new R&D developments and technologies are revolutionizing all kinds of industries from apparel to upholstery to agriculture to construction — opening doors for the industry’s diverse sourcing needs.”

Attendee registration is live. Companies interested in visiting can register here to attend Techtextil North America or here to attend Texprocess Americas, to get access to both shows. Likewise, companies interested in exhibiting can check out the information and latest floorplans and reserve a booth for Techtextil North America here and Texprocess Americas here.

“This is a significant year for the sewn product industry to rebuild supply chains and optimize efficiency,” says Michael McDonald, President of SPESA. “The synergy created through these co-located shows will generate a business environment that encourages the exchange of knowledge, resources, and technology that not only benefits the companies that participate in the show but also strengthens our collective industries. We are extremely excited to bring the latest advancements of sewn product industry suppliers to live audiences in 2023 and provide a platform in which they can instantly engage with and respond to the information they are being presented.”

Covering trending topics and the most pressing industry challenges, the Symposium will feature a series of educational sessions about new technologies, through which attendees will also be able to gain in-depth business insights. At these highly acclaimed sessions, industry experts will discuss some of the most pivotal advancements being made in technical textile, nonwoven, and sewn product technology and will highlight ways in which these advancements are changing the industry landscape.

Techtextil North America’s versatile range of displays will target agriculture, construction, furniture, apparel, and more. The technologies on display at Techtextil North America can be applied across diverse industry sectors, making it a must-visit platform for visitors to make sourcing decisions. Similarly, Texprocess Americas is the perfect business platform for all professionals involved in the sewn products industry — including retail, brand, and manufacturing executives — to meet with leading international manufacturers and distributors of machinery, equipment, parts, supplies, systems, technology, supply chain solutions, and other products and services used for the development of sewn products.

Together, the Techtextil North America and Texprocess Americas platforms aim to empower attendees to integrate technology and fuel innovation that will drive the textile and sewn product industries forward and will be a pivotal meeting point in 2023!
