Exhibitors and visitors agree unanimously: PERFORMANCE DAYS, which has just come to an end, has just written another success story.

This year‘s Focus Topic „Green Evolution – Innovations for a Sustainable Future“ proved highly popular, as did the first sustainability conference Sustain&Innovate on the second day of the fair.

Satisfied faces all-round at the end of PERFORMANCE DAYS on the 13th and 14th of November in Munich. With a number of 3064 visitors and 297 exhibitors, the fair and its exhibitors enjoyed an all-round successful event.

The proven concept of presenting not only the most important companies, but also an extensive supporting program, as well as providing a top-quality, cutting-edge Trend Forum every season has once again been particularly well received. 

 Brand-new: Only sustainable fabrics presented at PERFORMANCE FORUM

The popular PERFORMANCE FORUM once again displayed the most important innovative fabrics and proved revolutionary: All 240 fabrics on display were selected not only for their trendsetting features, but also and above all for their sustainability.

And this will remain the case. As from this season onwards, only sustainable fabrics will be eligible for the coveted tables of the PERFORMANCE FORUM.

Of the 240 fabrics, the 24 best in terms of sustainability were also presented and explained at the PERFORMANCE WALL, as well as the winners of the PERFORMANCE AWARD and the ECO PERFORMANCE AWARD, which have set new standards in terms of function and ecology. 

Important sustainable fabric highlights were also presented by (among others): Hemp Fortex, Long Advance, LMA, Merryson, Pontetorto, Polartec, Shinkong, Sympatex, Schoeller GmbH & Co. (Award) and Schoeller Textil, Tintex and Teijin Frontier (Award).

 Among the newcomers in the category of particularly sustainable fabrics were Ecosensor by AsahiKasei, Stotz and WA. Cloth Hybrid. 

 Among others, ACG, Laurema, Nilorn, Welltern and YKK were a source for sustainable accessories, and PrimaLoft and Lavalan for sustainable insulation.

 At the EXPERT TALK AREA, everything revolved around the latest trends and sustainability. The well-attended talks attracted so many viewers that some had to stand. In the meantime, numerous visitors flock to the trade fair on both days to not only be informed about important exhibitor dates, but also to specifically listen to the scheduled line-up of speakers
