INDEX 08, the world’s leading nonwovens exhibition taking place at GENEVA PALEXPO, Switzerland, from 15th -18th April 2008, is the global showcase for the potential that nonwovens have to offer. Over 12,000 professional visitors from around the world will converge upon Geneva to see the latest cutting-edge advances in nonwovens technology and exciting perspectives on new applications areas. Companies both large and small converge to present their products to a captive audience of senior buyers and to develop new business partnerships in an exhibition space of over 50,000m2.

Once every three years INDEX brings together thousands of key decision-makers from around the world  to attend this stimulating event which showcases the very best that the buoyant  nonwovens industry has to offer.

Almost 500 exhibitors from around the globe, ranging from raw materials suppliers and machinery manufacturers to converters and brand owners, showcase pioneering developments and the latest technologies, illustrating their imaginative business solutions and stimulating commercial environments of the nonwovens exhibition calendar.

Against the background of a difficult business climate generally in a number of European markets, INDEX’05 proved its popularity by once again producing record figures over all previous years. Most importantly, as the research reveals, this was achieved by meeting expectations of both exhibitors and visitors alike.

Says EDANA General Manager, Pierre Wiertz ‘INDEX 05 succeeded in attracting top-level attendees from a broad range of application sectors as diverse as the Automotive, Filtration, Building & Construction and Hygiene & Medical industries. Exhibitors at INDEX are satisf informed buying public. The broad geographic interest the event generated in 2005 considerably increased the visitors attending from growth areas such as Central & Eastern Europe, Latin America and the Middle and Far East’.
