Shanghai, 24 July 2024. In the sectors of technical textiles and nonwovens, the German flag is a respectable brand unto itself, distinguished by its high caliber goods and cutting-edge technology. It has been confirmed that the German Pavilion, a well-known platform at one of Asia’s top industry trade shows, will make a comeback from September 19–21 at Shanghai New International Expo Center.
