IFAI Establishes New Show For Asia-Pacific Region The Industrial Fabrics Association International (IFAI), the leading event organizer for the specialty fabrics industry, announced today that it is establishing IFAI Expo Asia, a new trade show and conference to serve the Asian-Pacific markets. The event will be held April 14-16, 2010 at the world-class Suntec International Convention & Exhibition Centre in Singapore.



"We intend to duplicate the success of our long-established IFAI Expo held in the U.S." said Steve Warner, president and CEO of IFAI. "The IFAI Expo is the largest specialty fabrics industry trade show and conference held in the Americas. There is a tremendous consumption of specialty fabrics in the Asia-Pacific region. The current trade shows in India and China focus almost exclusively on the nonwoven industry. IFAI Expo Asia will now become the first major trade show in the region that similarly targets as visitors the end-product fabricators who use woven, nonwoven, knit and composite materials."



Vice President Todd Lindermann noted, "For the exhibitors, IFAI Expo Asia will be unique, appealing to suppliers of all these different types of materials as well as related equipment and services that are being used. And, we will attract as visitors the actual fabricators of finished products in applications such as medical, automotive,construction, safety, military, recreation and structures. Another targeted audience will be those who have design, application and market influences such as government purchasing agencies, civil engineers and architects." Besides the trade exhibition, the three-day event will feature education symposiums for several specific niche end-markets for specialty fabrics.



MP International has been contracted to serve as the event organizer. MP International is based in Singapore and has organized many leading-edge trade exhibitions and conferences, including the recent ITMA ASIA + CITME 2008 in Shaghai.
