NEW YORK —

Hometex, the first U.S.-based trade show that will exclusively feature Turkish home textiles suppliers, is scheduled to take place during the New York Home Textiles Market.

The show is being produced by CNR, the same company which handles the large Turkey-based Evteks event.

"We hope to come in touch with key U.S. buyers — wholesalers and retailers — during these events and attract them to Istanbul," said Ali Bulut, managing director at CNR.

The show will take place on March 28 and 29 at the Metropolitan Pavilion, 125 W. 18th St., from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. It will feature more than 30 suppliers in several product categories, including window fabrics and finished soft window treatments, furnishing fabrics, bedding, pillows, blankets, kitchen textiles, towels, bathrobes, floor coverings, wall coverings, fibers, trimmings, Venetian blinds and sun protection systems.
