“The successful results of last year’s Spring Edition proved our decision to recommence the fair was the right one, and that demand in China for finished products at this time of the year has rebounded,” said Ms Wendy Wen, Senior General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd. “This year, with the stable market conditions in China’s home textiles sector, we expect the fair will conclude with another page of success.”
