Texcare International 2024 trade show will be held from 6 to 9 November, in Frankfurt am Main, Germany. Industrial and commercial laundry machines, detergents and washing systems suppliers, premium textiles manufacturers, smart logistics and software solutions – in few words, the textile care market. In addition to being driven by a natural commercial spirit, the trade fair aims to be an important place for debate on several key issues: automation, energy saving, labour shortages, circular economy, and textile hygiene. Compared to its previous editions, the trade fair is changing both its days and season. A survey conducted among exhibitors and visitors in 2023 indicated a preference for a different schedule and timing. As result, Texcare International 2024 will therefore open its doors from Wednesday, November 6, to Saturday, November 9, 2024. It will take place in Hall 8 and the Gallery, the exhibition area remaining nearly the same as in the previous edition thanks to a better organisation of the available space. Now, let’s give the floor to the companies and their outstanding achievements

This prevents overdosing and no expensive chemicals are unnecessarily transported into the sewer, which clearly improves the wastewater residual values! In addition to enzymes, detergents and fabric softeners, SMART AIR® can also be used to nebulize FC-free products for water and oil repellency as microbubbles and apply them to textiles in the pre-wash. •
