Expectations are high for the 2023 Editions of Techtextil North America and Texprocess Americas in Atlanta, Georgia USA, running from May 10th–12th.  With much of the industry focusing on bringing the supply chain back to the Americas, this promises to be an exciting event! 

“For the first time in more than two decades, we’re witnessing an exciting rebirth for the sewn products industry in the Western Hemisphere,” explains Michael McDonald, President of SPESA. “Attending Texprocess Americas, the largest show of its kind in North, Central, and South America, is the first step for industry players to be a part of this massive movement in reshoring, nearshoring, and regional collaboration. The 2023 edition of the show is aiming to elevate attendee experience even more by adding in new components that foster learning, networking, and professional growth. I’m confident this is going to be the best show yet.”
