(openPR) - Messe Frankfurt has greatly increased the range of online services for visitors, exhibitors and journalists of Texcare International from 5 to 9 May 2012. The internet presentation at www.texcare.com has been fully revised and is now oriented more than ever before towards the needs of the individual user groups. For example, exhibitors, visitors and journalists can find information of relevance for them via special entry portals. Available well before the fair begins, an interactive plan of Frankfurt Fair and Exhibition Centre coupled to the exhibitor search system will enable users to see the exact location of the exhibition stand in the hall. The latest news about Texcare International is published regularly in the Texcare Newsletter, which readers can subscribe to free of charge on the internet at www.texcare.com.

The Texcare Smartphone App will be launched in good time for Texcare International 2012. Users who download the application for mobile devices will be able to find the exhibitors they are looking for quickly and easily at the fair, as well as call up topical information about interesting lectures and other events. The app incorporates an exhibitor and visitor search engine with an interactive plan of the Exhibition Centre, the programme of events, the latest press releases and top news via Twitter. The app will be available approximately three months before the fair begins. The Messe Frankfurt Monitor has been designed especially for journalists and comes with press releases, news in brief, event dates and times, pictures and contact-person details. The app can be downloaded from the App Store or the Android Market.

Texcare International is now represented on Facebook and Twitter.
