FRANKFURT AM MAIN, Germany — Messe Frankfurt will launch Texcare Forum Russia, the International Forum for Modern Textile Care, at the Crocus Expo International Exhibition Centre IEC Moscow Sept. 30-Oct. 1.
The two-day conference program will feature sessions from the Frankfurt-based trade-show planner and the Russian Association for Dry Cleaning & Laundry Enterprises. The event will also offer an exhibit area for Russian and international providers of laundry and textile-cleaning technology to show off their products. Messe Frankfurt and the Crocus Expo International Exhibition Centre IEC Moscow plan to stage Texcare Forum Russia once a year.
“With Texcare Forum Russia, we are making an anticyclical investment in this time of economic difficulty,” says Detlef Braun, managing board member of Messe Frankfurt. “We are starting with the Forum and plan to expand it into a trade fair. Russia and [the former Soviet states] are highly promising markets for the German and international textile-care sector, and we see good medium- to long-term perspectives there, especially in the fields of garment textiles, industrial laundries and consumer services.”
Russian and international exhibitors will offer machinery and supplies for laundries, ironing, textile cleaning and dyeing; washing, cleaning and disinfection products; equipment, textiles and accessories for uniform- and textile-rental services; machinery and additives for cleaning household textiles; and systems for water recycling and environmental protection.
Supporters of Texcare Forum Russia include the German Association for Mechanical Engineering & Plant Construction (Verband Deutscher Maschinen und Anlagenbau, or VDMA), the Industrial Association for Textile Services (intex Germany), the Russian Association of Dry Cleaning & Laundry Enterprises, Moscow’s Department of Consumer Market & Services, and the Moscow Chamber of Commerce.
