Texworld USA: Domestic Resources Among the Mix
The organizers of Texworld USA are putting the spotlight on North American resources at the upcoming July 19–21 run of the show at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York.
In addition to the international resources at the show, German trade show organizer Messe Frankfurt will feature 23 American companies. In a post-show survey of attendees following the last show, in January, #8232;48 percent of respondents said they were looking for more domestic resources.
At the upcoming show, the Lenzing Innovation Pavilion will feature several American companies, including West Coast knitting mills such as Los Angeles–based Laguna Fabrics; Mansfield Textile and JH Textiles Inc., both based in Vernon, Calif.; Long Beach, Calif.–based Texollini; and SG Knits, which has facilities in California and in North Carolina. The show will also feature Jefferson, Ga.–based spinner Buhler Quality Yarns Corp.; Mt. Pleasant, N.C.–based spinner Tuscarora Yarns; and Orwigsburg, Penn.–based knitter and private-label manufacturer Fessler USA. Lenzing also has a Tencel facility in the United States in Mobile, Ala.
This is the 11th edition of Texworld USA, which will be co-located for the third time with the International Apparel Sourcing Show and Home Textiles Sourcing Expo. For more information, visit TexworldUSA.com.—Alison A. Nieder
