Intertextile Shanghai shifts show date

SHANGHAI - The date of Intertextile Shanghai Home Textiles 2005 has been changed to Aug. 23 to 25, a month earlier than previously announced.

Organizer Messe Frankfurt said the new timing more closely aligns the fair with the home textiles buying season, and can take advantage of a larger space available at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre. The show is expected to be 50 percent larger this year, according to the organizer.
