			<description>After a successful IMB 2009 – Worldof Textile Processing – exhibitors are eagerly looking forward to the IMB Forum 2010 – Information Technology for the Textile Processing and Apparel Industry. The preparations for this event are currently in full swing. However, the IMB Forum has been moved from May to November 2010, in response to the requests of suppliers and buyers from the sector. In anticipation of a global economic upturn and with an expanded event concept, the event can thus more effectively take advantage of the need for investment and help to boost demand. The new dates are 10th and 11th November 2010.After a successful IMB 2009 – Worldof Textile Processing – exhibitors are eagerly looking forward to the IMB Forum 2010 – Information Technology for the Textile Processing and Apparel Industry.

The new dates are 10th and 11th November 2010.<br />
<br />
The IMB Forum covers almost the entire spectrum of interfaces with the trade by offering a wide range of IT products and services for the textile processing industry. The exhibitors present practice-oriented solutions along the entire textile value chain. Although the products on offer from IT and systems suppliers are becoming more and more industry-specific, the growing ramifications of the supply chain and the requirement to flexibly integrate new and additional processes will continue to create problems, as these are inherent in the system. The IMB Forum is therefore the ideal business platform for promoting direct dialogue between users and suppliers of IT solutions for clothing production and the processing of textiles and flexible materials.<br />
<br />
With the IMB Forum, Koelnmesse GmbH is confirming its role as an international hub and marketplace — a role which it also occupies thanks to IMB, the centre for the global textile processing network, located in the heart of Europe. "From our point of view, the IMB Forum has established itself as a fixed point in our sector. The event offers a high-level specialist audience the opportunity to keep abreastof the most important new developments on the market. <br />
<br />
The IMB Forum is the perfect supplement to IMB – World of Textile Processing – in May 2012, as this special event for information technology corresponds to the fast development cycles of the sector," says Udo Traeger, Vice President Furniture, Interior Design & Textiles at Koelnmesse.</description>

			<title>IMB 2009: International Meeting Place Attracts the Sector's Top Decision-makers</title>

			<description>After four days, IMB 2009 - World of Textile Processing, ended on Friday, April 24, 2009, and the trade fair's exhibitors and visitors indicated they were entirely satisfied with the event. A total of 509 companies from 34 countries presented themselves - and their talents for innovation - to the international trade visitors at the textile processing industry's leading trade fair. "IMB 2009 thoroughly lived up to its claim of being the sector's top event," concluded Gerald Böse, Chief Executive Officer of Koelnmesse. "Nearly all the market leaders from Germany and around the world were represented at IMB in Cologne. They generated new momentum for the sector and sent a positive signal at the right time concerning the future development of the industry. That is what makes a sector-leading trade fair stand out from the rest."After four days, IMB 2009 - World of Textile Processing, ended on Friday, April 24, 2009, and the trade fair's exhibitors and visitors indicated they were entirely satisfied with the event.

"Nearly all the market leaders from Germany and around the world were represented at IMB in Cologne. They generated new momentum for the sector and sent a positive signal at the right time concerning the future development of the industry. That is what makes a sector-leading trade fair stand out from the rest."<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
Elgar Straub, Managing Director of the VDMA German Garment and Leather Technology Association, the conceptual sponsor of IMB, agreed: "This was what the sector needed: an IMB to demonstrate the sector's innovative power in line with the highest international standards, while serving as the ideal sector meeting place. Also important is for the exhibitors to offer a good spectrum of products and services and to reach the right visitor target groups. IMB 2009 succeeded on both counts."<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
Of the roughly 20,000 visitorsfrom 100 countries that were registered for IMB 2009, more than 50 percent came from outside Germany. As expected, the number of visitors from abroad was down due to the worrisome economic conditions. The turnout of visitors from European countries (including Germany), however, remained stable and strong. This also was confirmed by Eva Jubitz, Marketing Director of Lectra Deutschland GmbH: “IMB went very well for our company. We were pleasantly surprised that the fair surpassed our expectations. Not only was the turnout of visitors very good, their decisionmaking power also was very impressive. They were mostly from India, Russia and Germany.” Dr. Andreas Seidl, CEO of Human Solutions GmbH, welcomed fewer visitors at his company’s stand, especially from North and South America, but he was nonetheless quite satisfied with IMB: “On every day of the trade fair we made about 30 percent more customer contacts than at IMB 2006. As far as we are concerned, the turnout of trade visitors and their decision-making credentials was a very welcome surprise.”<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
Exhibitors have high praise for trade visitors’ decision-making status The very high level of decision-making responsibility of the IMB trade visitors was the object of almost unanimous praise by the fair exhibitors. “Although there were fewer visitors than at the 2006 event, the quality of the discussions and the contacts made increased considerably,” summed up Petra Grathwohl, Sales & Marketing Manager Industry of Gütermann SE. Thomas Willing, Managing Director of Avery Dennison Central Europe GmbH, also was very impressed by IMB: “It was simply a super trade fair, a complete success. We welcomed many more trade visitors than in 2006. And they were top decisionmakers.” The high level of decision-making responsibility among the trade visitors was confirmed by the results of an independent visitor survey: The survey respondents said that about 80 percent of visitors are involved in purchasing and procurement decisions, and 33 percent even play decisive roles in the decision-making prcess.<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
One of the main reasons that IMB is sosuccessful is because it brings together what belongs together: This is where the producers of textile processing machines can directly meet with the “users” of their products — with the managing directors, technical directors, engineers and procurement managers of manufacturing companies from the textile industry processing industry. In short, they meet with the real decision-makers in the industry. For example, 33 percent of visitors work in management positions, 33 percent in production, 25 percent in research and development and 18 percent in procurement.<br />
<br />
 <br />
<br />
Klaus Weber, Managing Partner of Intex Software GmbH, was therefore thrilled with the results: “It was an absolutely great trade fair! The economic crisis was the farthest thing from our minds during the four days of IMB. We engaged in talks around the clock, practically all day long. We made some great contacts, and the people who visited our stand indicated that they had come to invest. Visitors used IMB to plan for the post-crisis period and for the future in general.”</description>

In today's clothing industry, off-the-peg producers have different tasks to the people retailing their clothes. The verticalisation trend and the boom in floor space management by the clothing industry are changing both the internal relationship between suppliers and customers and the necessity of process control. Individual arrangements that are reached require the greatest possible transparency and integration in the IT systems of the other partner. Considerable attention must be paid to these sensitive interfaces, which is where the IMB Select 2010 concept comes in. The extensive trade fair programme and supporting congress on 10 and 11 November 2010 in the northern halls will focus on the entire supply chain, all the way through from procurement to stock management systems, without losing sight of its core processing competence. IMB Select is the ideal business platform for promoting direct dialogue between users and providers of IT solutions in the areas of clothing production and the processing of textile and flexible materials. The central meeting point will be the open and generous communication area, while entirely uniform stand design will make it easier for visitors to find their way around. "Visiting this trade fair will be of immense importance for all decision-makers. It is the only place where they will get a complete overview of the IT industry's offers for the sector. It will enable key investment decisions to be made based on flawless information", says Bettina Glamsch, IMB Product Manager, of the new trade fair format.<br />

IMB Select also depicts peripheral and additional processes along the supply chain, doing full justice to the fast development cycles in this sector. By staging IMB Select 2010 and IMB 2012, Koelnmesse GmbH is confirming its position as a hub and marketplace at the heart of Europe for the handling and processing of textile and flexible materials in global business.<br />

 <br />
DOW XLA™ Re:Flex4™ is specially designed, patent-pending technology delivering four-way stretch that adapts to the body's silhouette with enhanced shaping memory for the ultimate in soft comfortable denim with a custom-like fit.  The body moves in different ways and now denim will, too.  Four-way stretch denim with DOW XLA™ Re:Flex4™ premium stretch fiber in both the warp (vertical) and weft (horizontal) reduces fabric compression in key areas and matches the body’s natural movement for better fitting and more comfortable garments.  <br />
 <br />
DOW XLA™ fiber is inherently resistant to high-heat and harsh chemicals allowing designers to create innovative looks through bleaching, stonewashing, distressing, and imprinting all without sacrificing the stretch performance.  DOW XLA™ integrates seamlessly into the base cotton fiber maintaining the authentic cotton feel but with the benefit of comfortable, breathable stretch.  Additionally, processing efficiencies and color consistency can be achieved in multi-dimensional stretch denim with DOW XLA™ fiber due to its ability to be rope dyed in warp fabrics. <br />

“DOW XLA™ Re:Flex4™ is the next evolution in denim.  Designers and consumers were looking for new denim innovations and we responded, providing the answer to their toughest fit and comfort questions.  By matching the body’s natural movement in every way, DOW XLA™ Re:Flex4™ offers an irresistible combination of comfort, fit and durability.” Justin Chen, Global Product Director & Asia General Manager for  Dow Fiber Solutions.</description>
