The joint owners of the ITMA ASIA + CITME 2018 exhibition have announced new dates for the sixth combined show. The new dates are from 15 to 19 October 2018.

The show was originally scheduled to take place from 26 to 30 October at the National Exhibition and Convention Centre, Shanghai.

According to show owners CEMATEX and Chinese partners, the Sub-Council of Textile Industry, CCPIT (CCPIT-Tex), China Textile Machinery Association (CTMA) and China Exhibition Centre Group Corporation (CIEC), the shift in the exhibition dates is due to a new national initiative, which affected the scheduling of all events at the exhibition centre in October.

The exhibition is organized by Beijing Textile Machinery International Exhibition Co Ltd, co-organized by ITMA Services and supported by Japan Textile Machinery Association.

The last ITMA ASIA + CITME combined show in 2016 welcomed the participation of 1,673 exhibitors from 28 economies and registered a visitorship of over 100,000 from 102 countries and regions.
