FRANKFURT, FDR—Americans attending Heimtextil on January 11-14, 2022 may have to quarantine upon entry for ten days according to the latest German Government regulations.

From India, we expect a slightly lower number of exhibitors compared to the previous year. In October we will also receive the applications from the joint stand organizers and then we will see more clearly.”
