the largest and most influential international textile exhibition in Asia.

Press Release Body: The International Exhibition on Textile Industry (ShanghaiTex)
is celebrating the 25th Anniversary in the upcoming 14th edition to be staged from
12 - 15 June 2009 in Shanghai New International Expo Center.

As the most historical textile industrial exhibition in China history, ShanghaiTex
has become a precious national brand. Starting from 1984, ShanghaiTex is being held
biennially in the odd-numbered years. Over the past 25 years, the Show has been
providing a professional trading platform for the most influential textile machinery
markers and also the textile industry. As a widely recognized key marketplace,
ShanghaiTex\' upcoming 14th edition - it\'s silver jubilee, will be the best platform
for showcasing the state-of-the-art textile machinery and a wide-array of related
accessories in 2009.

Amidst of the rapid market change, ShanghaiTex is continuously developing into a
market-oriented trading platform. With tremendous growth of textile industry in
China through the past decades, \"Textile Factory of the World\" is a title directly
revealing China\'s state of play.

According to the latest Chinese custom statistic, the apparel export value in the
first quarter of 2008 reached 37.44 billion US dollars, recorded a 19.5% growth in
compare with the same period of 2007. Nevertheless, the increasing cost of raw
material and labor force is cooling down the development.

After 8 years of rapid growth, Chinese product can no longer rely on low selling
price in the competition. In order words, the era of high quality production with
modern technology arrives. While deeply understanding the critical needs for
advanced machinery, ShanghaiTex2009 will provide versatile platform for exhibitors
to exhibit their products with leading technology, which the textile manufacturers
are craving for.
