UKFT to Showcase British Textile Excellence at Intertextile Shanghai and CINTE Techtextil China
London, UK – July 2026 – The UK Fashion and Textile Association (UKFT) has announced its participation at two of Asia's most prominent textile trade events: Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics (25–27 August 2026) and CINTE Techtextil China (1–3 September 2026).
The organisation will promote and support British companies across both shows, connecting international buyers, brands, and industry partners with the full breadth of UK textile expertise.
At Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics, UKFT will present its Discover British Textiles showcase — a curated platform highlighting the diversity and depth of the UK industry.
From heritage and luxury textiles to technical and performance materials, natural fibres, specialist cloth, and future-focused innovation, the showcase will give international visitors direct access to some of Britain's most respected mills, manufacturers, and textile innovators.
UKFT representatives will be present throughout the event to support UK exhibitors, facilitate targeted introductions, and help buyers identify British suppliers suited to their specific sourcing and development needs.
For buyers whose requirements extend beyond the exhibitor list, UKFT will also facilitate post-show introductions to additional UK manufacturers — including those with a strong commitment to responsible and sustainable production.
At CINTE Techtextil China, UKFT will shine a light on Britain's technical textiles sector, an area of considerable strength spanning performance materials, specialist applications, advanced manufacturing, and product development.
The organisation's presence at the show is designed to raise the profile of UK technical expertise and open doors to new international partnerships and collaborative opportunities.
Visitors attending either show are encouraged to arrange a meeting with UKFT to explore how they can work with British textile suppliers.
Those interested in connecting with UK exhibitors or discussing specific sourcing requirements can contact UKFT directly ahead of the events.
