Additionally, 23 provinces, cities, and autonomous regions in China had registered for the event, creating a total of more than 900 Chinese exhibitors and 500 foreign ones. All exhibition booths have been confirmed or reserved. In order to satisfy the exhibition needs of more companies, the temporary hall is being prepared now.

This exhibition is highlighted by six characteristics: 1. The exhibition scale is the ever largest in history, reaching 120,000 m2, and the exhibition space is divided into nine indoor exhibition areas and a temporary shed. 2. Different equipment and technology are exhibited in corresponding specialized exhibition areas, breaking through the former boundary between Chinese and foreign exhibition areas to greatly facilitate professional visitors who come from all parts of the world with different needs. 3. In light of the current developmental trend of dying and trimming technologies in the textile industry, this exhibition focuses on new dying and trimming technologies, which account for 30% of the entire exhibition. 4. According to protection of environment and energy by the state macro regulation and control, another focus of this exhibition is on energy saving, with new equipment and new technology for environmental protection. 5. The former routine measure is changed for the trade liaison work in the exhibition. Apart from focusing on purchasing overseas exhibits after the exhibition closes, export of equipment and newly developed technology in China is also emphasized. 6. In addition to attaching importance to specialization, this exhibition pays more attention to service. The online reservation system will be open for visitors before the exhibition and the press center. The office for putting high-tech achievements into production and appraising companies, the IPR office and the trade liaison department are all on-site to better serve exhibitors and visitors.

As an exhibition for famous brands in the textile machinery industry, SHANGHAITEX has always been followed closely by the global textile industry. More than 130,000 professional visitors from over 60 countries or regions in the world are expected to come to the event and hold talks and, likewise, more than 40 private media outlets, and public media from around the world as well as important textile provinces within China, will cover the development of SHANGHAITEX at the same time.

2007 is the key year in the “Eleventh Five-Year” plan for China’s textile industry, which has entered the stage of tackling key technical problems, industrializing key technical achievements, enhancing independent innovative ability, pushing forward technological progress and industrial upgrading, and actively advancing the gradual transfer of the textile industry. In order to raise the professional-added value of the exhibition, exchange meetings on “Probing into Applications of Close Spinning Technology” and “Applications of New Spinning Technology and New Products” will be held. There will also be seminars on “New Equipment, New Technology and New Products for a New Weaving” and “New Dying and Trimming Technologies and Environment-friendly Chemicals”.

Twelve sessions of SHANGHAITEX have been held since it was initiated in 1984. From the 100,000 m2 in 2005 to the 120,000 m2 in this session, SHANGHAITEX has made great progress. It has become one of the most influential specialized exhibitions in Asia and, in particular, is recognized by industry insiders as an authoritative and forward-looking trade exchange event.
