ITMA is the world's most influential textile and garment technology exhibition.
Owned by CEMATEX, ITMA is the place where the industry converges every four years to showcase the latest textile and garment processing technologies, machinery and materials, promote collaborations and forge partnerships.
Participated by a global audience, ITMA is THE place to meet key decision-makers from the world's top textile and garment producers and leading brand owners, gather market intelligence and forge collaborative partnerships. It is where business is done.
Innovation and sustainability have become critical drivers and enable the creation of new technical textiles with advanced materials and functionalities which are used in various applications. These applications are not only in fashion, but also sports, outdoor, building and construction, defence and medical.
Ground-breaking developments in robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) have enabled the progressive adoption of automation in textile manufacturing processes while digitalisation of manufacturing processes and its impact on the supply chain is shaping the future of the entire integrated textile and garment value chain.
Exciting breakthroughs in production processes such as fibre and yarn processing continue to help propel the textile industry forward.
Manufacturers and brands are adopting the use of innovative materials and integrating advanced processes to achieve a competitive edge and build a greener planet.
Towards an eco-friendly exhibition
ITMA is committed to reducing the carbon footprint of the exhibition.
During the last presentation in Barcelona, ITMA worked alongside exhibitors, visitors, partners and the venue owner to reduce waste in printed materials, encourage the re-use and recycling of materials and reduce single-use plastic and water bottles, among other activities.
