摘要

Techtextil South America, the major fair for the technical textiles and nonwovens sector in Brazil and South America, ended on November 13 in Sao Paulo with an attendance of 4,680 highly qualified buyers from 25 countries - mainly from South America, but also from North America, Europe and Asia-showing an overall increase of 15% over the 2001 show. The 3rd edition of Techtextil SouthAmerica attracted 181 exhibitors, showing a total increase of 20%. Among the exhibitors were not only manufacturers of technical textiles and nonwovens but also the related suppliers of raw materials, machines, equipment and services. Techtextil South America is part of the global Techtextil brand promoted by Messe Frankfurt in 5 countries (Brazil, China, Germany, Russia and USA). For Michael Jaenecke, Brandmanager of Techtextil world-wide, "by approaching strictly technical sectors and being oriented to pofessionals with high levels of capability, Techtextil does not count on a great quantity of visitors but on quality. Although we did predict a significant increase compared to the last show in 2001. Our target is to maintain and expand the quality of our visitors, by encouaging the exchange of information among the companies and professionals of the different sectors as well as by stimulating the use of technical textiles and nonwovens in new application areas".
