The last edition (2017) welcomed 75 exhibitors, representing 100 brands, and 3500 visitors, 70% of whom are decision-makers. The event focuses on the French-speaking market, but also includes 25% foreign exhibitors and 15% international visitors. France, a major market (€3 billion annually), claims JET Expo as the decisive platform to attract all the players of the industry from all over the world.
Messe Frankfurt France has just acquired JET Expo, the trade fair for textile care professionals. The French subsidiary of the German group Messe Frankfurt is therefore its new owner and operator. Messe Frankfurt France is thus expanding its portfolio of textile/clothing exhibitions by stretching out to the textile care sector. Vet'Image, the trade fair for workwear and uniform, recently included in JET Expo, is also part of this transaction.
Created in 2005 and organized every 2 years, the trade show gathers professionals from the textile care industry: drycleaners, launderettes, laundries, rental services, on-demand services, hospital centers, medico-social services, hospitality and local authorities.
The show also offers conferences tackling industry challenges and current events, awards for the best practices as well as hundreds of BtoB meetings via matchmaking.
JET Expo is a strong element of Messe Frankfurt's global strategy, which has also just acquired the Clean Show in the United States and also merged China Laundry Expo and Texcare Asia. Messe Frankfurt is becoming the undisputed leader in the textile care market worldwide.
Vet'Image, for more synergies, will be integrated into Apparel Sourcing Paris, the global clothing sourcing event by Messe Frankfurt France.
The 8th edition of JET Expo will take place from 19th to 21th May 2019 at Paris Expo, Porte de Versailles, Hall 7.1.
