The organisers of Munich Performance Days and Functional Fabric Fair powered by Performance Days – its counterpart in the USA – have announced the launch of Performance DaysLoop, a comprehensive online platform to connect the functional fabric industry and provide a year-round digital sourcing marketplace.

Performance DaysLoop, features access to a comprehensive 365-day dedicated marketplace of performance fabric manufacturers, currently consisting of more than 8,000 products from nearly 200 suppliers.

Organisers anticipate this to grow to over 12,000 products from more than 250 international suppliers in the first full season. The Performance DaysLoop provides a match-making tool to facilitate the introduction of sourcing professionals to a global pool of suppliers and products based on their needs and capabilities. The platform features impressive 3D visual technology to accentuate and simulate a fabric’s design, look, and feel.

Digital fairs will also take place on the platform, simultaneous to in-person events, offering an online version of the customary programming of expert talks, panel discussions and workshops.

The popular Performance Forum, where curated trends and innovations are discovered, will also be merged on the digital platform to spotlight exhibitor innovations across the global portfolio of the events.

“We are really excited about this joint project and are certain that the industry will greatly appreciate the synergies resulting from the bundling into a unique, year-round online platform with double the amount of reach,” said Marco Weichert, head of Performance Days.

Registration for the Performance DaysLoop is already accessible for exhibitors. Other brands can also register now and discover all the platform has to offer while looking forward to the content for summer 2021 coming online soon.

The platform is complimentary for approved visitors at www.performancedays.com/loop.html.
