Six new exhibitors for Winter Showtime, Dec. 6-9
HIGH POINT, N.C., Nov. 13, 2009 – Suppliers of textiles, trims and leather for industries ranging from retail to the manufacture of everything from furniture and yachts to handbags and lampshades bring their latest and best products and deals to buyers who attend the International Textile Market Assn.’s semiannual Showtime.
Since the last edition of the show in June, seven more companies have joined ITMA, six of which will be presenting goods for attendees at the upcoming Winter Showtime fabric event here, Dec. 6-9.
The new members are Atretis Fabrics, Holland & Sherry, Kalin Devee Fabrics (will exhibit in June 2010), Keystone Weaving Mills, Leather Apogee, Sanjarr (Image USA), and Yakar Tekstil Sanayi Ve Ticaret.
Catherine Morsell, executive director of ITMA, producer of Showtime, says, “As American vendors and buyers attend fewer international shows every year, Showtime is gaining importance for international vendors who realize they must come to the United States if they want to get in front of American buyers.”
