The event, which is supported by the Garment and Leather Association of the VDMA, will take place in Frankfurt from 24 – 27 May 2011. The first show will run parallel to TechTextil, the international trade fair for technical and non-woven textiles. The two events will then run on a biennial basis. They are expected to attract around 1,700 exhibitors and around 50,000 visitors from 120 nations.
