The Heimtextil has been the biggest international trade fair for home and contract textiles for decades. Held over four days in the middle of January as the first trade fair of the year, it serves as a platform for manufacturers, the trade and designers from all over the world. This year, over 2,800 exhibitors from 65 countries presented their products from 9 to 12 January 2008 to over 86,000 international trade visitors barely a stone's throw from the city centre, in the halls of Frankfurt Fair and Exhibition Centre. To ensure that the Heimtextil is the highlight of the year for the sector, the organisers, Messe Frankfurt, supplemented the product show by new kinds of presentation and special exhibitions.
For the first time, the contract business, which has already gained a foothold at the Heimtextil with a large number of manufacturers, was given its own, independent profile under the motto, 'Contract Creations', in 2007. A special pocket guide lists 350 manufacturers of contract textiles for use in offices, hotels, hospitals, the transport sector, etc. Additionally, the stands of these exhibitors were marked by special Contract Creations logos while, during the run-up to the fair, an online contact forum gave exhibitors and visitors the chance to get in touch and make appointments during the Heimtextil. |
