ANDTEX 2019 was a major success with over 200 exhibitors and 4000 buyers and conference attendees from 32 countries across the globe. ANDTEX 2020 expects international trade pavilions from China, Indonesia, Japan and Taiwan and a growing participation out of Europe.
Nonwoven capacity and production demand in Southeast Asia is expected to continue to expand during the next years driven by favourable demographics, economic conditions, local and export market demand and increasing market penetration. The strong growth amongst the ASEAN countries (Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam) leads to rising employment, higher productivity and wages. This in turn drives increased consumption of disposable nonwoven products. The different areas of nonwoven applications such as medical, personal hygiene, automotive, geotextile or filtration have enormous potential with significant opportunities for all manufacturers and providers in this industry.
ANDTEX is the only nonwovens and disposable hygiene exhibition in Thailand and the ASEAN countries. “We participated in ANDTEX 2019 in Thailand to expand our reach into the South East Asia market. Visitors showed tremendous interest in our 100% Cotton products, considering the increasing awareness towards finding sustainable material alternatives in manufacturing of commonly used products towards the environmental waste. In 2020, we will again be exhibiting our range of products for manufacturing of health and hygiene products such as Bleached Cotton and Cotton Spunlace Nonwoven Fabric along with Pure Cotton Wipes.” stated Asad Ali, Marketing Manager at IHSAN Sons (Pvt) Ltd. Pakistan, a leading manufacturer of non-woven fabrics from 100 % cotton.
ANDTEX, Southeast Asia’s premier event for the nonwovens and engineered fabrics industry will showcase the complete industry chain including engineered materials, disposable and durable hygiene products, equipment, and the latest manufacturing technologies.
