ITMA ASIA + CITME is a combined show made up of two leading events - ITMA ASIA and CITME (China International Textile Machinery Exhibition). CEMATEX is the owner of the ITMA ASIA show which was launched in 2001, followed by a second show in partnership with JTMA (Japan Textile Machinery Association) in 2005, both of these events being held in Singapore. CEMATEX is also the owner of the ITMA show which has been held in various European locations every 4 years since its launch back in 1951. 

The CITME show (owned by CTMA, CCPIT-Tex and CIEC) was launched in 1988 and has to date been held every two years in Beijing, PRC, the 10th edition being held there in October 2006. The two show owners signed a long term co-operation agreement in April 2006, starting with a combined textile machinery show which was held in China in July 2008. Since 2008, the combined show known as “ITMA ASIA + CITME” has been held in Shanghai, scheduled to take place every two years. 

Taking off in Shanghai, the milestone event features the unique strengths of the ITMA brand and China's most important textile event -CITME. This move to combine the two shows into one mega high-quality event is strongly supported by all nine CEMATEX European textile machinery associations, CTMA (China Textile Machinery Association) and JTMA (Japan Textile Machinery Association). The seventh edition of the combined show will be held from 12 to 16 June 2021 at the new National Exhibition and Convention Centre (NECC) in Shanghai.
