ShanghaiTex goes yearly

SHANGHAI The International Exhibition on Textile Industry in Shanghai (ShanghaiTex) will become an annual event starting in 2006, changing its original cycle of once every two years.

ShanghaiTex is organised by Shanghai Textile Technology Service and Exhibition Centre, Adsale Exhibition Services Ltd and Shanghai International Exhibition Company.

There was more than 1,400 worldwide suppliers from 23 countries and regions, including ten country pavilions. A total of 121,516 trade buyers from more than 60 countries and regions attended the show, occupying an area of 100,660 sqm. ShanghaiTex2006 will be staged from July 5 to 8, 2006 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre.
