China Interdye 2015 and China Textile Printing 2015, the world’s largest dyestuff exhibition continues to lead development trends across the sector. With the exhibition area of 40,000 square meters will house over 600 exhibitors from more than 14 countries and regions. Exhibits will include a variety of advanced environmentally-friendly dyestuffs, organic pigments, catalysts, intermediates and environmentally-sound equipment as well as textile printing products and equipment, printing and dyeing automation technologies and materials.

The expo is organized by China Dyestuff Industry Association, China Dyeing and Printing Association, and China Council for the Promotion of International Trade, Shanghai Sub-Council and hosted by Shanghai International Exhibition Service Co., Ltd., will be held at the Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center (SWEECC) from April 15th to 17th, 2015.

With the rapid changes taking place in the world economy, many kinds of new fibers and blended fabric products are constantly being developed to meet the specific requirements of consumers, which, in turn, boosts domestic demand for high-end dye with better dyeing properties and unique dyeing characteristics. Environmentally friendly new dyestuff products and new application technologies will be presented by well-known domestic and foreign producers including Dystar, Tanatex Chemicals, Huntsman, Yorkshire Chemicals, Pulcra Chemicals, Asahi Glass, Daikin, Lamberti s.p.a, Bozzetto, Rudolf Group, Duo Wen, Zhejiang Longsheng Group (Lonsen), Run Tu Chemical, JiHua Chemical Industry, Yabang Chemical Group, Wuhan Huali Environmental Technology, Transfar, Dymatic, Anoky, Argus, Merida, JECO (Group) Ltd, Wuxi Haijiang Printing and Dyeing and Jingjin Environmental Protection.

During the exhibition many professional seminars will be held concurrently by various industry associations including the China Dyeing and Printing Association, the China Cotton Textile Association, the China Knitting Industry Association and the Color Masterbatch Speciality, Catalyst and Organic Pigment Committees under the China Dyestuff Industry Association. Leading players including Dymatic, Anoky, Intertek, Testex and Xrite will hold technology sharing seminars where advanced technologies and concepts will be recommended and where a venue will be created for networking opportunities that could lead to meaningful exchanges and collaborations among industry insiders.

In recent years, China has been encouraging the printing industry to develop in non-polluting methodologies that consume little energy. It behooves industry leaders to implement “green printing” in terms of equipment, technology and materials. The industry is at a turning point in terms of its transformation as manpower costs are soaring.

Digital printing will become mainstream, and the future development of the industry is depending on it. China Textile Printing 2015 will create a “green printing” communication platform based on the exhibition. Leading domestic and foreign printing equipment makers, including Italian Reggiani, MS, Durst, Zimmer, Ichinose, Atexco and Human Digital will bring their latest digital printing technologies to the venue. Face-to-face communication will help the printing equipment makers decide the future direction of development, understand the market trend and push the companies to upgrade.

At the 2014 State Science and Technology Prize conference, the digital automatic bobbin dyeing technology and equipment developed by Shandong Companion Group was awarded the first prize of the National Science and Technology Progress Award for 2014. Digital automatic bobbin dyeing technology is a major breakthrough for China’s textile printing and dyeing industry as it moves into digital and intelligent applications. The technology is key if China is to produce high-grade fabrics that improve the product’s functionality and increases its value. Shandong Companion Group will share an exhibit for the first time and plans to display advanced automation products and technologies side by side with other leading printing and dyeing automation companies like: Open Source, Phantom Technology, GreenEnsign New Energy, Shanghai Chain-Lih Automation and Golden Color Digital.

Interdye Asia continues to provide a stage for the industry to explore the international market. In the future, transnational production, regionalization of production and marketing as well as trade liberalization will be on the rise. As a result, the tendency towards globalization will become increasingly apparent. It is inevitable that China’s pigment manufacturers will reduce the size or shut down production facilities at home and transfer their production capacity to emerging markets as they expand into world markets.

Interdye Asia has had 4 successful sessions since 2011, with events in India, Turkey, Indonesia and Vietnam.
