The 20th edition of ITCPE (International Textile Clothing Printing Expo) has officially opened in Guangzhou with record-breaking international attendance. This year’s event is significantly larger in scale and more global in reach, attracting a wide spectrum of professional visitors and buyers from Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Latin America.
What continues to draw international attention to ITCPE is China’s rapidly growing textile printing and embroidery machinery sector, known for its combination of advanced technology, competitive pricing, and fast innovation cycles. The event has become a strategic destination for buyers seeking cost-effective and high-performance machinery solutions that meet the evolving demands of the global textile and apparel markets.
Mr. Chen gang, Managing Director of the organizing company, commented:
“We are very happy to collect all new innovations and technology in embroidery and printing machinery in Guangzhou under one roof. This year, we are experiencing an increase in exhibition space and the number of international visitors registered for the show. It clearly reflects the market’s trust in our brand and in Chinese technology.”
Mr. Henry Xu (CBL Embroidery Machinery):
Mr. Henry Xu, Overseas Marketing Director at CBL Embroidery Machinery, told Kohan Textile Journal: “We are truly pleased to be here at ITCPE. This exhibition is a valuable platform that allows us to reinforce our leadership in the embroidery machinery sector, stay aligned with market developments, and maintain strong connections with our global customer base.”
Mr. Ildarov Shamkhal, President of the Russian Textile Association, attending ITCPE with a large delegation of Russian buyers, told Kohan Textile Journal:
“ITCPE is a great platform to discover the latest advancements in textile and printing machinery from China. The scale of the exhibition and the high quality of technology on display make it a key hub for sourcing and building new partnerships. We look forward to returning next year with an even larger group of Russian buyers.”
Ms. Milena Abreu, Founder and CTO, TexApex-Quality and Business Solution for Textile, shared with Kohan Textile Journal:
“This is our first time attending ITCPE, and to be honest, the exhibition exceeded our expectations. We came specifically to explore fabric printing machinery, and I believe we’ve found exactly what we were looking for. As a textile engineer closely following developments in digital printing, I can say that Chinese machines today offer an impressive balance between quality and affordability. Especially in recent years, with global textile production facing more challenges, it has become essential to consider both price and performance before making new investments. Some of the Chinese manufacturers we met here at ITCPE are doing an excellent job in achieving
that balance.”
With dynamic exhibits, live demonstrations, and strong buyer-supplier engagement, ITCPE 2025 is reinforcing its position as one of the most influential events in the textile printing and garment decoration industries.
If you ask me what the lucky number of ITCPE is this year — I’d say 20! A perfect symbol of growth, energy, and international momentum.
