expecting 100,000 participants

The sixth edition of ITMA ASIA + CITME 2018 is gearing up for another huge exhibition in
Shanghai, China with a participant’s expectation of approximately 100,000 from around the world.

Mr Fritz P. Mayer, president of CEMATEX said, “We are looking forward to welcoming large
numbers of visitors from both inside and outside of China to the combined show, and we
would like to encourage our visitors to plan their trip early and purchase their badge online
now to beat the onsite queues. Registering ahead of time on the show website provides visitors
with useful information for preparing their trip and finding out the details on the exhibitors.”

The joint owners of ITMA ASIA + CITME, due to an overwhelming response have booked
additional space at the North Hall (NH) at the National Exhibition and Convention Centre (NECC).

1700 local and international textile machinery manufacturers from 28 countries are expected
to demonstrate their latest machinery as well as other products that boost automation and
energy saving features.

Mr Wang Shutian, president of China Textile Machinery Association (CTMA), said, “The
strong demand for space attests to the effectiveness and popularity of the combined show.
We had a long waiting list for space by the deadline for applications. Therefore, we made the
decision to book the additional space available in the venue.”

Held from 15 to 19 October 2018, ITMA ASIA + CITME 2018 is owned by CEMATEX and its
Chinese partners - the Sub-Council of Textile Industry, CCPIT (CCPIT-Tex), China Textile
Machinery Association (CTMA) and China Exhibition Centre Group Corporation (CIEC). It is
organised by Beijing Textile Machinery International Exhibition Co Ltd and co-organised by
ITMA Services. The Japan Textile Machinery Association (JTMA) is a special partner of the show.
