Messe Frankfurt announces Texworld USA in cooperation with Innovation Asia, July 11 – 13, 2006 at the Penn Plaza Pavilion in New York     
      
The success of Texworld in Paris, France can easily be measured by the thousands of international buyers that attend this major industry event.  Based on this success and in response to a sincere interest by suppliers and buyers of international apparel fabrics, Messe Frankfurt is excited to enter the American market in New York on July 11 – 13, 2006.

Innovation Asia and Texworld USA
Innovation Asia has been organized by Lenzing Fibers (formerly TENCEL New York Inc.) as a fabrics trade fair for five years.  Innovation Asia was held twice a year parallel to the international fabric shows in New York.  Lenzing gave 24 exhibitors the chance to present their collections based on Lenzing fibers to an audience of around 800 American trade visitors.  The success of Innovation Asia among both exhibitors and visitors prompted Lenzing to consider expanding the event.  To ensure the best possible use is made of the expansion option, Lenzing Fibers has decided to cooperate with Texworld / Messe Frankfurt.  Thus, the first Texworld USA will take place in New York and Lenzing's Innovation Asia will be integrated into the new Texworld USA.

New Buyers and New Opportunities
With the introduction of Texworld USA, Messe Frankfurt will be able to provide an American outlet to the many suppliers and buyers of all ranges of apparel fabrics and accessories that have asked for such an event for several years. 

Texworld USA will provide quality products offered at reasonable prices from Asia and other regions.  These featured exhibitors are well selected thanks to Messe Frankfurt’s expertise and market knowledge, as well as our excellent network within the textile industry around the world.

This international business platform will offer a wide array of fabrics of high creativity and excellent price / quality relationship.  Some of the best companies in this global marketplace will showcase fabrics of innovative structures, inspiring materials and surprising color palettes.

Featured product groups will include cotton, denim, embroidery, fibers, functional fabrics, knitted, lace, linen, prints, silk, wool and accessories.

New York – the place to be this July
As one of the major fashion centers in the World, New York offers a dramatic backdrop to this exciting new event.

The apparel fabrics industry will focus their attention on New York this summer.  Messe Frankfurt and their partners encourage suppliers and buyers of all quality and price ranges to participate in this unique, exciting event.
