FROM PORTUGAL TAKES TWO FORUMS TO HEIMTEXTIL
HOME TEXTILE AND GREEN CIRCLE TREND FORUM
JANUARY 9TH TO 12TH | FRANKFURT
Considered a global reference and taking on a leading position when it comes to home textile trends, it is with great enthusiasm that Heimtextil returns to the pavilions of Messe Frankfurt in Germany to present to the world the trends of the season, the textile sustainability, the diverse range of home textiles, as well as product offerings and information for interior design, home textiles, hospitality, and the sleep megatrend.
As usual, Portugal will represent a strong delegation in a total of 4,700m2 of exhibition area that promises to present the unique quality and distinctive design of Portuguese home textiles, with emphasis on the return of companies such as Coelima, Torres Novas, AMR, Elastron, Classitex and Perfect Life at Heimtextil.
In addition to these returns, which represent great news in themselves, it is worth highlighting the two forums promoted by Associação Selectiva Moda – the Trends Forum (HALL 12.1 – STAND A31) and the Green Circle (HALL 12.0 – STAND D15) in partnership with CITEVE) which are the anchors of the Portuguese presence at Heimtextil and serve as an open door for contact between Portuguese companies and international buyers.
All in all, the Portuguese contingent is stable, with a total of 66 stands, roughly the same number of exhibitors that in January 2023 were present in Frankfurt with the overwhelming majority of exhibitors (59 out of a total of 66, including the forums) located in pavilion 12.
The organization of the Forums at Heimtextil is an initiative of Selectiva Moda and ATP – Associação Têxtil e Vestuário de Portugal, which aims to promote the internationalization of Portuguese companies in the Fashion area. The “From Portugal” project is co-financed by the European Union, within the scope of Portugal 2030, through the Compete 2030 – Innovation and Digital Transition thematic program.
