From this 1st November, Thailand has officially reopened. Travellers from every corner of the world are allowed to enter Thailand with or without quarantine based on their vaccination status and countries of departure. The reopening and relaxing of travel restrictions make it possible to forecast a return of business to a new normal by early 2022.
ANDTEX is regarded as the leading nonwovens exhibition and conference in Southeast Asia with a total attendance of 3.800 coming from 32 countries and nearly 200 exhibitors in the 2019 edition. The event unites the complete nonwoven industrial chain, from raw materials, machinery to finished products, technology and geotextile sectors. The conference program will give insights, latest trends and market opportunities for the whole Southeast Asia region.
Exhibitors are enthusiastic to show up again. "We expect a great demand for high quality embossing rollers and screens for nonwovens processes in the Southeast Asian market and have therefore decided to participate in Andtex. Despite the postponements, we are confident that we have a successful event in 2022 and hope for a lively participation as a basis for future business relationships. Furthermore, we hope that at the Andtex 2022 we meet up again with our Asian customers" confirmed Rüdiger Meyer & Achim von Wirth from the SAUERESSIG Group.
Andreas Rothbauer, Key Account Manager Optima Nonwovens GmbH is looking positively to the next edition: "For Optima it is still important to get the chance to meet and talk to our business partner and customer in person. Even with improved performance and better medial online features in the last years, the advantages of a face to face exhibition cannot be replaced. Looking and evaluating a general market impression and overview only can be done in real life exhibitions. It is worth to continue the participation at ANDTEX, even if have to wait for a while due to pandemic lockdowns."
Southeast Asia remains an attractive region for nonwoven growth driven by favorable demographics, economic conditions and a vibrant local and export market demand. Increasing market penetration for disposable and durable nonwovens in Southeast Asia shows a very potential outlook. Major needs are expected for converted nonwoven hygiene products followed by nonwovens used in durable geotextile and other sectors.
