"A real high"

Heimtextil's end result reveals more exhibitors, more show space and steady attendance figures. According to information from Messe Frankfurt, the number of exhibitors increased by 100 (plus 3.4 per cent) to a total of 2 907. The number of visitors came to around 89 000. Just under four per cent more came from abroad, whereas the number of domestic visitors was down by around five per cent. "Heimtextil is experiencing a real high for the first time in years," said fair director Detlef Braun. The world's major trade fair for home and contract textiles was staged in Frankfurt between 10 and 13 January 2007.
