INDEX 23 will provide a range of solutions to the ongoing challenges faced by the nonwovens industry. Visitors from around the globe will gather from April 18-21, 2023, at Palexpo, Geneva, Switzerland, for the triennial exhibition.
With the current energy crisis and supply chain issues still to be resolved, INDEX 23 – with 550 exhibitors who have booked so far – will clarify industry issues covering the entire nonwovens' supply chain. As every edition, the nonwoven community comes together under the same roof during four intense days to tackle their concerns and find solutions.
Exhibitors are eager to display their innovations to find new leads, consolidate customer relations and forge new partnerships for the years ahead.
"INDEX is an international event where the complete nonwovens and related products value chain from around the globe converges. Edition after edition, exhibitors and visitors enjoy the opportunity to grow their businesses and find innovative solutions," says Magali Fakhry Dufresne, director of INDEX.
“This edition couldn't be timelier, as INDEX will be a great opportunity to find answers for challenges such as energy efficiency, and to understand how nonwovens can contribute to the solutions", add Pieter Meijer, Chairman of INDEX.
With the current challenges plus the drive to find more and more sustainable and circularity- oriented answers, the industry is getting increasingly competitive. It is thus important to stay on top of pressing industry matters.
"As sustainability and circularity are increasingly orienting the way forward around the industry, we are seeing young talents seeking to develop new products. This new generation is also keen on meeting the industry's key players, who will be present again at this indispensable event displaying an essential number of innovations," says Murat Dogru, General Manager of EDANA.
