The owners of ITMA Asia + CITME — the European Committee of Textile Machinery Manufacturers (CEMATEX), China Textile Machinery Association (CTMA), the Sub-Council of Textile Industry, CCPIT (CCPIT-Tex) and China Exhibition Centre Group Corporation (CIEC) — have decided to change the venue of the event to a new location and the opening time from June to October since 2016. Hence the fifth edition of the combined show will be held on October 21-25, 2016 (instead of every June) at the new National Exhibition and Convention Centre (NECC) in Shanghai (instead of the Shanghai New International Exposition Center).

Since 2008, CCPIT-TEX, CTMA and CIEC and their European partner CEMATEX combined China's most important textile event – CITME with ITMA brand to create a mega high-quality event, scheduled to take place every two years. Now this combined show has become the most influential professional event for Asian and global textile machinery industry, with exhibition space expanding from the 120,000 square meters in 2008 to the present more than 150,000 square meters, attracting near 1,600 exhibitors and over 100,000 visitors.

The upcoming event is expected to take up 180,000 square meters with participation from some 1,600 exhibitors, according to Mr. Wang Shutian, President of China Textile Machinery Association (CTMA).

Space application is now available on the show website. It will close on February 29, 2016. To apply for space or for more information, please visit www.itmaasia.com or www.citme.com.cn.
