Trevira CS joint booth withdraws from Heimtextil 2021

Heimtextil, the international trade fair for home and contract textiles is planned to be held from January 12-15, 2021 in Frankfurt/Main. However, as a result of uncertainties due to coronavirus, Trevira will not take part next year. The Trevira CS joint fair booth, where Trevira, its customers and partners presented their ideas, had been a popular feature of Heimtextil.

 
“Messe Frankfurt has shown us its comprehensive hygiene concept and plans and there is no question that their plans fully meet health and safety requirements,” Trevira CEO Klaus Holz, said. “But at Trevira, we are also very much aware of our responsibilities. Our joint booth concept is not only on an extensive scale, but it is also built around the idea of communication. This makes it even more important that we consider the potential risks involved and how they could impact our customers, co-exhibitors, visitors and staff.” 
 
Given the uncertainty as to how the situation might develop in the future, Trevira has decided it has no option but to withdraw from next year’s fair and postpone its participation in Heimtextil until 2022. This decision has been made in agreement with parent company Indorama Ventures PCL (Thailand), which has put stringent measures in place to keep its staff and customers safe. As a result, the concern and its subsidiaries are not currently participating in any trade fairs. 

At the 2020 Heimtextil, Trevira exhibited together with around 30 of its major Trevira CS customers with a joint booth whose total floor area measured over 2,000 msq. The number of partners exhibiting alongside Trevira has increased steadily over the past three years, and the Trevira display, along with many of the newest flame retardant Trevira CS collections from its customers, has always been hugely popular at the fair, especially in hall 4.2, where it has continually attracted a very high number of visitors.
