Five stops worth planning before you reach the floor
ITMA ASIA + CITME 2026 runs from November 20 to 24, 2026 at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai, one of the largest exhibition complexes in the world. The combined show draws machinery suppliers across spinning, weaving, knitting, nonwovens, dyeing, and finishing, alongside a growing technical textiles and digitalisation segment. With that breadth spread across multiple halls, a buyer without a route plan will cover far more ground than necessary and still miss key conversations.
The five companies in this Shared Spotlight represent a practical first-day sequence for buyers whose work touches fabric production equipment, process automation, or international market access. TRÜTZSCHLER NONWOVENS GMBH addresses complete nonwovens line sourcing. Lindauer DORNIER GmbH covers rapier and air-jet weaving machines plus film stretching and composite systems. Staubli Tec Systems India Pvt. Ltd. focuses on weaving preparation and Jacquard shedding for mills managing frequent style changes. Erhardt + Leimer Inc. brings web guiding, tension control, and monitoring hardware for continuous textile and converting lines. Beijing Dongfong Ruiji International Exhibition Co., Ltd rounds out the group as a contact point for Chinese manufacturers evaluating overseas trade show participation.
