The "2020 China Laundry Expo" successfully concluded on October 16, 2020 at the Shanghai New International Expo Center. As the only large-scale exhibition event in the global laundry and dyeing industry this year, it attracted 122 exhibiting companies and received 14,413 visitors. Affected by the epidemic, the exhibition area and the total number of exhibitors have declined this year, but the exhibition site is crowded, the atmosphere is overwhelming, and the signings continue. The smooth development of this exhibition proves that under the normalized situation of the epidemic, professional exhibitions and related professional activities are an effective model to restore confidence in the industry and open up the corporate market.

Looking back at the wonderful moments of the exhibition, we look forward to a revival after the infection. Cohesively, forge ahead, arrange the equipment and set off to create a bright future for the washing and dyeing industry.

Director Pan Wei of the China Laundry Association delivered a welcome speech. The full text is as follows:

The golden late autumn saw the grand opening of the TXCA & CLE 2020. Affected by the global pandemic, TXCA & CLE, the globally unique laundry industry exhibition of the year, has drawn worldwide attention. We hereby would like to extend a warm welcome and heartfelt thanks to all the industrial participants from home and abroad.

The abrupt epidemic has exerted significant impact on the laundry industry, but the companies have withstood the test and demonstrated a respectable sense of social responsibility, with those who work in ordinary positions making extraordinary contributions. It has also further triggered our in-depth thinking on the directions of industry management, service quality, washing equipment and future development. TXCA & CLE 2020 pursues quality and diversity, serving as an important exchange and display platform for industry colleagues in the post-epidemic period.

As a national organization in China's laundry industry, China Laundry Association shoulders an important duty of holding industry-related exhibitions, with “scientific and green washing, sincerity service”as the industry development advocacy and “bringing together the most advanced concepts and technologies of the world's laundry industry to make our home bluer, clearer and cleaner” as the goal. In 2019, the sales volume of laundry services reaches 127.8 billion, said the China Laundry Industry Development Report 2019. The rapid iteration of washing equipment, chemicals and auxiliary materials production technology along with the rapid development of China's laundry enterprises, has made possible the standardization, large-scale,automation and intelligence of the industry. The high-quality exhibition is not only an important platform for the exchange of new products and technologies, an embodiment of our philosophy and purpose, but an indispensable window for the Chinese laundry industry to open up to the world.

The outcomes of the battle against the epidemic have not come easily, and the moments of gathering are especially treasured. On the occasion of the TXCA & CLE 2020, we would like to thank our industrial colleagues who have given us long-term support, help and understanding. Let us, as one family, unite our efforts, insist on quality, keep up innovation, make new progress to jointly create a beautiful era for the laundry industries!
