Furthermore, brands such as Crea8iveSkill, DRAWstitch International, Embodee.com, Fiery, and Fulfill Engine will showcase solutions for workflow efficiency, colour management, and production.
Callum Legg, Group Sales and Project Manager at FESPA, comments on the launch. He says, “Textile printing and garment decoration is one of the most dynamic growth areas across the speciality print sector. In light of this, we’ve developed our new event – comprising a strong line-up of exhibitors and a dedicated conference programme – to provide our community with access to textile-related technologies, expertise and applications that can benefit their businesses. We look forward to seeing and supporting members of our community in Barcelona!”
Debbie McKeegan, CEO of Texintel and FESPA’s Textile Ambassador, adds, “FESPA Textile is providing a vital platform for the conversations that actually matter. We must confront the immediate challenges facing textile printers, whilst examining exactly how technology is being applied in the here and now. More importantly, we need to understand how these innovations – and the trends driving them – will fundamentally reshape the manufacturing landscape for printed fashion, sportswear, furnishings, and interiors in the years to come. Together we will define our industry’s future.”
