VDMA to showcase eco-friendly smart innovations at ITMA Asia + CITME 2024

Under the “Smart Technologies for Green Textile Production theme,” VDMA (German Engineering Federation) aims to leverage resources like textile materials, water, energy, and chemicals to significantly reduce CO2 emissions.
The ITMA ASIA + CITME 2024, scheduled for October 14–19 in Shanghai, will feature a strong presence from VDMA, with 49 exhibiting member companies, making them the largest foreign contingent at the trade fair. The exhibiting members will showcase a wide range of machinery categories, including spinning, manmade fibers, nonwoven, weaving, braiding, knitting & hosiery, finishing & dyeing, and textile processing.
On October 14, 2024, from 16:00 to 17:00 (China time), VDMA will host a press conference focusing on its commitment to reducing resource consumption in the textile value chain through highly efficient technologies.
In recent years, nearly 50% of German textile machinery exports have gone to Asia. However, between January and July 2024, shipments to Asia fell by 25%, totaling about 580 million euros. Despite this, China remains the largest market for German exports, accounting for 240 million euros, followed by India, Bangladesh, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, and Vietnam.

The VDMA team in Shanghai includes colleagues from both VDMA headquarters in Germany and VDMA China, ensuring robust support for exhibiting members on-site.
