In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, ITMA ASIA + CITME 2020, originally slated to be held in October, has been rescheduled and will now take place from 12 to 16 June 2021 at the National Exhibition and Convention Centre (NECC), Shanghai, China.

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 postponement is necessary due to the pandemic.

CEMATEX emphasized that this decision has been made with the safety and health concerns of participants and partners in mind.

Meanwhile, CTMA believes that the combined show with the new exhibition dates would be timely when the global economy is predicted to improve.

Keen interest at close of application period

In spite of the pandemic, at the close of space application, almost all the space reserved at NECC has been filled. The show owners will create a wait list for the late applicants and if necessary, to secure additional exhibition space from the venue to accommodate more exhibitors.

Buyers to ITMA ASIA + CITME 2020 can expect to meet industry leaders who will showcase a wide array of latest technology solutions that will help textile makers to become more competitive.

ITMA ASIA + CITME 2020 is organized by Beijing Textile Machinery International Exhibition Co Ltd and co-organized by ITMA Services. Japan Textile Machinery Association is a special partner of the show.
