The 2016 edition of Texcare International (11 – 15 June) will take place in both Hall 9 and Hall 8, the first time that demand for exhibitor space has justified opening a second hall.

Wolfgang Marzan, CEO of organiser Messe Frankfurt, says that already bookings take up almost all the space that was occupied in 2012 and he points out that there is still nearly one year to go. Extending the show to Hall 9 will allow both established exhibitors and newer companies to have more space.

Marzan believes that the larger edition will help widen the scope of the exhibition and give more emphasis to future developments and also assist in attracting more visitors and exhibitors from outside the host country.

Exhibitors that have already confirmed include Kannegiesser, Jensen, Lavatec, Miele, Multimatic, Ilsa, and Pellerin Milnor, Alliance, Ecolab and Christeyns.
