Texmac India 2011 To Take Place March 16-19 In Mumbai

Co-organizers Germany-based Internationaler Messe- und Ausstellungsdienst GmbH (IMAG) and
India-based Fair Design India Pvt. Ltd. (FSI) recently announced the next edition of Texmac India
will be held March 16-19, 2011, at the Bombay Exhibition Center in Mumbai. The second edition of
the show originally was scheduled for 2009, but was postponed after an opinion poll indicated a
later show date was preferred because of the difficult economic climate

. Organizers plan to return to a biennial

The premier edition of the show in 2007 hosted approximately 200 exhibitors and attracted

neighboring countries; will post advertisements in India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh;
conduct extensive public relations work with key media partners; and extend invitations through
textile industry associations and the media.

Texmac India 2011 will run concurrently with the Asian Textile Conference (ATEXCON), which is
organized by IMAG’s India-based partner, Confederation of Indian Textile Industry (CITI). Texmac
exhibitors and ATEXCON delegates will be invited to a joint gala dinner, which will provide a
networking platform for members of the industry.

Exhibits, which organizers hope will fill at least 11,000 square meters (m
2) of space with an additional 9,000 m
2 available if needed, will cover the following textile categories: spinning
preparation, man-made fiber production and spinning; winding, texturing and twisting; web
