“For more than 40 years, EDANA has served its member companies through a number of programmes and events designed to bring the industry together,” said Pierre Wiertz, general manager, EDANA. “We share a common objective of helping the textile and, in our case, nonwoven industries reach out to a wider audience through greater innovations and education.”
“ITMA is the world’s largest textile and garment technology exhibition and it showcases the entire value chain,” said Eileen Ng, executive director, MP Expositions. “Since the introduction of the fibre and yarn sector at ITMA 2011, there is a growing emphasis on solutions for nonwovens and technical textiles. Visitors are able to witness the interaction of the materials and chemicals with the machines on the spot during live demonstrations. The cooperation with EDANA is synergistic and beneficial for the industry.”
“As the owner of ITMA, we warmly welcome EDANA to coorganize the nonwovens conference,” said Charles Beauduin, president, CEMATEX. “Many of our CEMATEX national association members who produce machinery and related solutions for the nonwovens sector will look forward to this joint initiative.”
