Texcare International closed its doors after registering a three percent increase in the number of visitors. Altogether, a good 15,800 trade visitors from 100 countries attended the world's leading trade fair for modern textile care in Frankfurt am Main from 5 to 9 May 2012 (2008: 15,275 visitors). Over half of all visitors (52 percent) come from outside Germany. The top ten visitor nations after Germany are Italy, Belgium, France, The Netherlands, Switzerland, Spain, Great Britain, the Russian Federation, Denmark and Sweden. For the five days of the fair, 264 exhibitors from 26 countries (2008: 261 exhibitors) presented their high-tech solutions and innovations for laundries, dry cleaners and textile-service providers. The focus of the presentations was on energy and resource-friendly technologies and systems for process optimisation, such as RFID and Real Time Management.

Accordingly, exhibitors rated visitors positively with regard to quantity and quality. 75 percent said they were extremely pleased with the level of visitor internationality and decision-making authority. Consequently, 85 percent of exhibitors said they had achieved their goals for the fair with a high level of sales, orders and new international contacts.

89 percent of exhibitors rate the economic situation in the sector as being very good, an increase of five percent over the last Texcare International in 2008. 86 percent of visitors also shared this opinion. Moreover, 95 percent of visitors said they were extremely pleased with the range of products to be seen at the fair.

Particular interest was shown in the four days of lectures at the Texcare Forum, which attracted no less than 1,180 international visitors. The new subdivision into themed days was also very well received – Future Day, Innovation Day, Sustainable Day and Market Day offered detailed insights into subjects of particular interest to the sector. Texcare Forum was organised by Intex and DTV in cooperation with Messe Frankfurt.

One of the highlights of Texcare International was the fashion show entitled 'The future world of workwear today' at which manufacturers presented their latest collections and revealed the colour, style and function trends set to dominate workwear, professional apparel and protective garments in the industrial, health-care and tourism sectors.
