FESPA & Sportswear Pro 2020
Sportswear Pro 2020: pioneering technologies in sportswear
Sportswear Pro 2020 is a new exhibition entirely dedicated to sportswear manufacturing. The very first show will take place in Madrid, Spain, from October 2020. Sportswear Pro visitors can also visit the co-located FESPA Global Print Expo or can attend European Sign Expo.
Results of FESPA Print Census showed that 80% of textile printers is active in sports apparel. As Southern Europe and North Africa are the key regions for the design and production of fashion and textile goods, Feria de Madrid provides an ideal location for this first edition of Sportswear Pro. The location enables easy access for decision-makers not only from Spain, Portugal and France, but from countries such as Tunisia and Morocco as well. Visitors from other major garment manufacturing centres will find Madrid easily accessible as well.
At Sportswear Pro show, 50 sportswear brands can be seen. Across both Sportswear Pro show and Fespa Global Print, 150 brands will be exhibiting textile solutions.
With a focus on the latest technologies in on-demand and customised sportswear production, the show will bring together suppliers of solutions for the three key areas of sportswear manufacturing: design (CAD/CAM and 3D body scanning), production (CMT [‘cut, make and trim’], bonding and knitting) and decoration (printing, engraving, embroidery and laser appliqué systems). Developers of accessories, smart textiles and printed electronics will be there as well.
Visitors
In response to shortening fashion cycles, visitors will include business decision-makers looking for the latest technological innovations to streamline production processes, to reduce inventory and waste and to enable on-demand and just-in-time production.
Exhibitors
Companies such as Caron Technology, FK Group Spa, Gemini CAD, Melco International, Perma Press AB and Tajima DST will showcase their latest innovations in manufacturing technologies for sports and athleisure garments. You will be shown, for example, heat transfer systems, fabric cutting equipment and automatic spreaders and loading systems.
Sportswear Pro 2020 Exhibition Manager Michael Ryan comments: “The ‘Pro’ in Sportswear Pro stands for ‘production’. Our mission is to help sportswear manufacturers and apparel brands respond to the fastest moving trends in the market by giving them practical insights into the technical innovations that are re-shaping every stage in the manufacturing process.”
He continues: “Our exhibitors will be showing some inspiring examples of technologies that can enable lean, just-in-time production and personalization, with an emphasis on reducing time to market, minimizing waste and creating stand-out sports and athleisure garments that consumers can’t wait to buy.”
