ITM Texpo Eurasia
to showcase
Turkey as major textile power
events
The overwhelming response re-
ceived to ITM Texpo Eurasia 2012
to be held during April 21-24 also
underlines the importance of Turkey
in the global textile industry. Most
of the exhibition space has been ful-
ly booked. Foreign textile machin-
ery manufacturers, who were not
sure about the world textile industry
trend and the future of textiles in
Turkey a few months ago, do under-
stand the growing importance of the
Turkish companies, as the country
ranked among the first three in terms
of the number of exhibitors and visi-
tors at the exhibition.
Especially in terms of machinery
purchases, Turkish textile indus-
trialists attracted attention in terms
of their conscious investments as
professional visitors at ITMA 2011.
ITM Texpo Eurasia 2012 has re-
ceived very good response from in-
ternational exhibitors.
ITM Texpo Eurasia 2012 Exhibi-
tion organized simultaneously with
HIGHTEX 2012 and Yarn Exhi-
bition will be the most important
sectoral meeting of the year. Hall
2 and Hall 3 dedicated for spinning
and dyeing-printing-finishing tech-
nologies are fully booked. Hall 7,
which is also dedicated to dyeing-
printing-finishing technologies, is
booked 70 per cent. Hall 12, dedi-
cated to weaving-knitting technolo-
gies is booked 90 per cent, and in
compliance with the space book-
ing demands received, Hall 10 has
also been dedicated for knitting and
weaving technologies.

The Turkish textile ex-
ports were estimated at
$704.248.000 in Octo-
ber 2011. Compared to
the same period of the
previous year, this is an
increase of 12.3 per cent.
Exports for the January-
October period also in-
creased by 25.8 per cent
compared to the previ-
ous year. These figures
indicate that the Turkish
textile industry is again on
an upswing.
