VDMA to Hold Joint Annual Meeting for Textile and Machinery Sectors
The global situation has prompted the German textiles services association VDMA Textile Care, Fabric and Leather Technologies (TFL) to decide to conduct its annual industry meeting along with the annual conference for its textile machinery arm, VDMA Textile Machinery (TXM). Together, the sectors bring German textile care, textile manufacturing, and machine manufacturers.
According to Elgar Straub, managing director of the VDMA: “Due to the tense economic situation in Germany, Europe, and worldwide, we have decided to largely combine this year’s VDMA TFL industry meeting with the Annual Conference of the VDMA TXM on 4-5 June in Augsburg.”
The event will start on June 4 with registration and the opportunity to exchange ideas over coffee/tea and snacks at Maximilians Hotel Augsburg. After the joint opening event, the VDMA TFL industry meeting will occur. “You can look forward to exciting presentations on highly topical subjects and interesting speakers,” said Straub. Delegates will benefit from presentations that include an overview of economic developments, a run-down of global challenges, and a paper called ‘Raw Materials and Fashion’.
The joint evening event will take place in the Textile and Industrial Museum, Augsburg. Delegates will have the opportunity for an exclusive guided tour of this impressive museum, which features the history and current developments of this outstanding industry.

We plan to end the afternoon with an interesting company visit in the Augsburg region,” said Straub.
