Istanbul - The ITM International Textile Machinery Exhibition and Hightex, the International Technical Textiles and Nonwoven Exhibition have been rescheduled for June 2021.

Usually held every two years in partnership with Tüyap Tüm Fuarcılık Inc. and Teknik Fuarcılık Inc., and in cooperation with TEMSAD, the shows were originally scheduled for June 2-6 this year. However, as the effects of coronavirus continued to increasingly impact global business, the shows were then postponed to 14-18 July 2020.

It has now been announced that the events will take place on 22-26 June 2021.

"We continue for preparation of ITM and HIGHTEX exhibitions at full steam," organisers said. "We believe that our textile industry will be revitalized and reach a better point with the end of the coronavirus pandemic. While all the world has difficulty for find masks and protective clothing, Turkey is among the largest manufacturers of nonwoven fabrics and sanitary outfits thanks to its strong infrastructure for the production of textiles, garments and nonwovens. "We know that the Turkish textile industry, which manufactures masks and protective clothing to offer health benefits to all the world today, will grow stronger in this process and continue its investments at full speed. We believe that this synergy and strength in the Turkish textile industry will have a positive impact on our exhibitions. For this reason, we believe that our ITM and Hightex exhibitions, that we had to postpone to 2021, will provide great opportunities for the global and Turkish textile industries, which we expect to will gain momentum after the coronavirus outbreak.

"Preparations for ITM and Hightex 2021 will continue at full steam to bring together hundreds of manufacturers and global investors who develop leading technologies in their fields."
