With pandemic restrictions lifted and the textile care industry adjusting to the new norms of standardisation, specialisation, and digital intelligence, Asia’s leading laundry and textile care trade fair is primed to help facilitate the next technological revolution. In a move that raises the bar for smart washing, two new zones will be added to the show floor this year – the Leasing Laundry Circle, which encompasses the shared linen, uniform rental and laundry areas; and the Luxury Care Zone, which is comprised of the high-end clothing and leather renewal areas.
The fair will host multiple well-known domestic and international exhibitors, for a comprehensive three-day platform of innovational products and technology, in categories such as laundry, dry cleaning, folding, ironing, and dyeing. Suppliers that have already confirmed their participation include Alliance, Chuandao, CSM, Fagor, Girbau, Jensen, Kannegiesser, Laundrymate, Oasis, Sankosha, Sea-Lion, Weishi, and many more.
Renowned global brand and frequent TXCA & CLE exhibitor Kannegiesser is looking forward to this year’s industry showcase. In a recent interview, Ms Qi Huiwen, Managing Director of Herbert Kannegiesser Laundry Equipment (Shanghai), said: "We are hopeful that TXCA & CLE 2023 will reunite the industry, and that it will be both well-attended and business-friendly. We are optimistic that the fair will continue to lead the textile care industry's high-quality development, showcase China's achievements and communicate the industry's selling points internationally."
Mr Liyi Lyu, President of Shanghai Weishi Machinery, spoke about the role this year’s show will play in industry progress: “Over the past three years, Weishi has been working hard to turn pandemic pressure into a driving force for technological development. At TXCA & CLE 2023, the company will showcase its innovation in intelligence and digitilisation in multiple categories, with one example unmanned towel folders. We are looking forward to connecting with all the visitors in Shanghai and wish the fair every success.”
In addition to a product category expansion and exhibitor increase, this year's fair has received support from a multitude of domestic and international industry associations. Over 90 such institutions from China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan will continue to provide full support, while more than 10 organisations from Canada, France, Germany, Korea, Malaysia, the Netherlands, and more have also confirmed their active participation. Together, their continued backing plays a key role in attracting quality buyers to each edition.
