For the tenth consecutive show, a joint presentation of German companies producing high performance technical textiles and nonwovens made in Germany will take place in Houston. From 3 to 5 May, 31 German companies will be showcasing their latest products in an official German Pavilion at the Georgia World Congress Center.

Germany is the leading international trade partner for textiles within the European Union. In terms of its annual turnover of 28 billion Euros and the size of its labour force, the textile and fashion industry represents Germany’s most important consumer goods sector. The German textile industry, producing products for the market of apparel fabrics, home textiles and technical textiles, generates 60% of the overall turnover (40 % clothing). The share of technical textiles in the overall production output of the German textile and fashion industry amounts to more than 40 %, with producers supplying their innovative products and services globally to customer industries, such as the automotive, medical or building sector. Technical textiles are anticipated to have the greatest growth prospects in the years ahead with German producers being global market leaders.
