“The textile care industry repeatedly demonstrates a strong sense of unity and a clear commitment to finding solutions. Challenges such as the shortage of skilled workers or rising energy costs are met with pioneering automation, digital processes and strong innovative power. The fact that we jointly realise an event every four years that attracts trade visitors from over 120 countries to Frankfurt underlines the relevance and vibrancy of this industry. With four further events on three continents and various forum formats, the sector has long established its global standing.”
