Leading suppliers of textile-care technology cancel their participation – Texcare International will not take place in 2021

07 settembre 2021

Frankfurt am Main, 7 September 2021. Leading suppliers of laundry and drycleaning
technology have used the free cancellation deadline offered by Messe
Frankfurt against the background of the pandemic and cancelled their participation
in Texcare International 2021 shortly before expiry. In view of this the Advisory
Council of the world’s leading textile-care fair have voted to cancel Texcare
International for this year because its success can no longer be guaranteed.

In view of the corona crisis earlier this year, Messe Frankfurt offered exhibitors of Texcare
International the right to cancel their participation free of charge until 3 September 2021.
As the months passed, the overall outlook became increasingly positive and, by the
beginning of August, around 200 companies – including the important and big
manufacturers from all parts of the textile-care sector – had registered to exhibit at
Texcare International in Frankfurt am Main from 27 November to 1 December 2021.
Factors contributing to this included the growing pace of vaccination around the world, the
categorisation of trade fairs as business events and the officially approved protection and
hygiene concept of Messe Frankfurt. Nevertheless, the mood changed shortly before the
cancellation deadline as leading companies decided to withdraw from the event because
of uncertainties regarding the future development of the pandemic.

Kerstin Horaczek, Vice President Technology Shows at Messe Frankfurt, took stock after
the deadline: “Together with our partners, we worked untiringly to stage the Texcare
International for the textile-care sector in the autumn. However, a leading international
trade fair with a significantly reduced spectrum on show would not do justice to
participants’ expectations of the fair as the most important meeting place and innovation
hub for the sector. Therefore, we have decided to accept the vote of the Advisory Council
and cancel Texcare International 2021. We are extremely sorry about this. At the same
time, we are grateful for the on-going, high level of commitment demonstrated by the
sector for their most important trade fair.”

Held every four years, Texcare International in Frankfurt am Main brings together
suppliers of laundry and dry-cleaning technology with customers from the textile service,
laundry and dry-cleaning segments. Until the next edition, Messe Frankfurt can already
offer the textile-care sector several events where they can do business in other important
economic regions of the world. Thus, Russian experts from the textile-care sector will
meet at Texcare Forum Russia in Moscow on 15 September. On 27 September 2021,
Messe Frankfurt France is holding Texcare Forum Nantes. Still in this year, Texcare Asia
& China Laundry Expo, Asia’s leading textile-care trade fair, will open its doors in
Shanghai from 22 to 24 December. At the Clean Show, the biggest trade fair for textile
care on the American continent and also organised by Messe Frankfurt, the industry will
present its latest innovations and developments in Atlanta from 30 July to 2 August 2022.
