What SPINEXPO™ does

SPINEXPO™ is a privately held international trade exhibition operator (legal entity: Well Link Consultants Ltd) focused on the upstream textile supply chain, specifically yarns, fibres, and knitwear. The company runs a multi-city exhibition platform anchored by the flagship SPINEXPO™ show at the Shanghai World Expo & Convention Centre and complemented by the SPINCLUB curated format in Paris (Espace 38) and New York (Metropolitan Pavilion). The shows are positioned as sourcing venues connecting yarn and fibre manufacturers with knitwear producers and fashion brands, with the 2026/2027 calendar covering Autumn/Winter 2027 and Spring/Summer 2028 collections.

The product portfolio comprises three lines: the main SPINEXPO™ exhibitions, the SPINCLUB networking format, and a recurring seasonal Trend Book publication that delivers Autumn/Winter and Spring/Summer forecasts. The company operates with a 14-person team, headquarters presence in Shanghai and New York, and serves markets in China, France, and the United States under a horizontal segmentation strategy aimed at the full textile industry supply chain rather than a single vertical.

The business model is B2B trade-show revenue generation, derived implicitly from exhibition booth rentals, exhibitor and visitor fees, and the Trend Book publication, though pricing and financial terms are not publicly disclosed. The company has no disclosed investors, parent, subsidiaries, M&A activity, or regulatory actions, and appears to be independently operated. Marketing and audience development are conducted through Instagram, WeChat, Xiaohongshu (RED), and email newsletter channels, with the physical exhibitions themselves acting as the primary commercial and distribution channel.
