The 15th edition of Shanghai International Nonwovens Exhibition (SINCE) 2013 was held successfully at Shanghai World Expo Exhibition & Convention Center from October 23-25, 2013.

Covering over 25,000 square meters and hosting 389 exhibitors from 21 countries, SINCE 2013 exceeded expectations with rising attention from all over the world. Also, it was improved with 10% more floor space over previous editions for participating companies. In addition, visitors’ attendance rose by 11% over the last edition.

SINCE has grown and become one of the leading global platforms for international manufacturers, suppliers and buyers to access the nonwovens markets of products and technologies in China and the rest of the world, as well as showcasing their products and services. Furthermore, with an increasing annual growth rate in China’s nonwovens industry, China’s total production of nonwovens accounts for more than one quarter of the global production of nonwovens.

As one of the world’s key exhibitions for the nonwovens industry, the show offers an excellent communication platform and a vast window of opportunities for nonwovens industry professionals and related industries from all over the world. Visitors were able to source for new products and create sales, to build new contacts and networks, and to learn and receive updates.
