Supima
Messe Frankfurt, Inc. and Supima have decided to join forces in New York City for the first time this July and fold the Supima Premium Fabric Show (PREFAB) into Texworld USA to create an even bigger and higher quality apparel fabric sourcing event for North America. Supima licensees from North and South America as well as Asia will be represented at Texworld USA including; Be Be Cotton Knitting, Buhler Quality Yarns Corp., Industrias Nettalco and Tricots Liesse / Uknity Group.

High brand recognition among end use consumers and vertically integrated resources are sure to make the Supima / PREFAB area a destination for discerning knit designers and product developers.

New Pakistani exhibitors at Texworld USA include; AHS Textiles, Parsons Holding and Rauf Apparel.  Their strength in woven cottons, including bottomweights, denim and eco-friendly qualities is sure to be appreciated by both womenswear and menswear Texworld USA attendees.

The domestic resources available include Buhler Quality Yarns, Fessler USA, Laguna Fabrics, Manoir, Mansfield, SG Knits, and Tuscarora Yarns.  Legendary softness resulting from the incorporation of Lenzing fibers and close proximity of domestic resources ensure continued demand for these exhibitors at Texworld USA.
