“For Trützschler it was an interesting experience to get an insight into the Thai nonwovens industry. The fair and the symposium were very well organized.”

“Southeast Asian market is optimistic and this prospective makes us decide our continued participation in its 2nd edition. The event organizer, who took initiative to find its enterprises customers and shared the information with us, has provided excellent service. It is hoped that more vigorous promotion will be given to spunbond nonwoven category.”
