Groz-Beckert is Performed Its One from the Most Successful Exhibitions

Nonwoven, Weaving
In Atlanta, Georgia/USA, from 22 to 24 May 2018, the Texprocess Americas and Techtextil North America trade fairs were held at the exhibition site of the Georgia World Congress Center. Groz-Beckert was represented with its product sectors Sewing, Felting and Carding and welcomed around 500 guests at its booth. For Groz-Beckert this years' exhibition was very successful with an increased visitor number compared to 2016. One reason was that the fairs did not overlap with the IDEA as in 2016. Furthermore, the automation and filtration sector are becoming more and more important, which attracted more visitors than in the years before. With a two-thirds majority, visitors at Groz-Beckert’s booth were mainly from the US but also more guests came from Central and South America than in 2016.
