Virtual Communication Platforms As Alternatives to Real Trade Fairs?

Fairs, Nonwoven

The coronavirus crisis is demanding new approaches for servicing the global market. The coronavirus pandemic is also presenting the global textile machine industry with new communication challenges. Leading technology and continental trade fairs such as the ITMA Asia, the ITM, the INDEX and the ITME, along with important sector events such as the Global Fiber Congress (GFC) in Dornbirn, will not be taking place as normal in 2020 and have had to be postponed until next year.

Unity is Strength

Associations

The Swiss Textile Machinery Association has been crisis-proof for 80 years. When an organization reaches its 80th anniversary, there is a strong chance that it has survived several crises over those years. In the case of Swiss Textile Machinery, the association was actually born out of a crisis situation. Looking back over its history today inspires optimism that current and future challenges will be met with equal success. Past experience provides hope for the future... In 1940, a year after the start of World War II, events far away from the battlefields began to impact on the local machinery industry in Switzerland.
