ITM 2022 Exhibition, which will bring together the leading brands of textile technologies and host world launches, will set new records with both the number of visitors and participants.
ITM 2022- International Textile Machinery Exhibition, organized in partnership with Teknik Fairs Inc. and TüyapTümFuarcılıkYapımInc, will open its doors at Tüyap Fair and Congress Center between 14-18 June. ITM 2022, which will be held in 12 halls on an area of 120 thousand square meters, will host the latest innovations developed by textile technology leaders. ITM 2022, where all halls have reached 100% occupancy rate and 1280 exhibitor companies are located, will also attract attention with the stand areas and machine parks that the manufacturers have enlarged compared to the previous exhibitions.
The Heart of the Textile Industry Will Beat at ITM 2022
The ITM 2022 Exhibition, which will be held in Istanbul, acting as a bridge between the East and the West, will host exhibitors and visitors from all over the world for 5 days. ITM 2022, which will continue to keep the pulse of the sector this year, as it successfully did in previous years, will turn into a textile feast with the participation of hundreds of manufacturers who develop technologies in their respective fields, and the visits of global investors and commercial delegations.
Significant Contribution to Exports Aimed with Machine Sales and New Investment Decisions
The textile industry, which is among the locomotive sectors in Turkey’s exports, has made a significant contribution to the Turkish economy, especially with the performance increase it has achieved during the pandemic period. Having achieved an increase of up to 40 percent in its exports of textiles and raw materials, Turkey also managed to increase its exports of medical textiles, technical textiles and home textiles. The industry will further increase this success with the collaborations to be realized at ITM 2022. The textile machinery industry will gain great momentum with the machinery sales and new investment decisions to be made at the exhibition.
ITM 2022, which will be attended by many domestic and foreign companies and visited by thousands of people, will be an organization where both domestic and foreign companies will make sales amounting to millions of Euros and many business connections will be realized.
Company owners, company representatives and visitors left the 2018 edition of the ITM Exhibition very satisfied. ITM 2018 Exhibition, attended by 1150 companies and company representatives from 64 countries and visited by approximately 60 thousand people from 94 countries made a significant contribution to the export records of the textile industry that year.
Companies will showcase their state-of-the-art technologies for the first time at ITM 2022
Many companies that focus on product development and new productions under pandemic conditions will have the opportunity to introduce their products to their customers for the first time in 3 years at the ITM 2022 Exhibition. Company owners, managers, employees and sector representatives visiting the exhibition will have the opportunity to see the latest technological innovations for the first time and witness their world launches.
Sector representatives, who will open up new horizons in their minds about textile technologies, will sign new products by transforming the extraordinary and original ideas that they have obtained at the ITM 2022 Exhibition into design. Participating companies will also update their machines in line with the demands and needs from the sector representatives and lead the development of new technologies.
Istanbul’s Location Makes ITM 2022 a Center of Attraction
All of the participating companies and international visitors, which you will not have the chance to encounter in other exhibitions, will meet at the ITM 2022 Exhibition, as Istanbul is located in a very convenient location in terms of ease of transportation, lack of visa problems and hosting international events.
Due to the geographical location of Istanbul, companies in both European countries and the Middle East, North Africa, Turkic Republics, Balkans and Asian countries will come together at ITM 2022.
Located at the crossroads of civilizations, Istanbul will offer great convenience to the exhibitors and visitors coming for the exhibition, with its accommodation facilities as well as being at the center of world trade, its historical and cultural attraction. Thanks to the proximity of the hotels to the fairgrounds, participants and visitors coming to the ITM 2022 Exhibition from Turkey and abroad will not have any difficulties in terms of accommodation.
