Website offers business-to-business European marketplace

Look for ads in Google, fax mailings or trade fair exhibits about a new website where European textile sellers and buyers can advertise products to a wider audience—a business-to-business European marketplace for textile manufacturers and suppliers. Textiles-online.com, launched by a Netherlands-based company, will give suppliers registered on the site 10 free advertisements, each of which runs 30 days. Only buyers and sellers with a valid VAT number will be able to register. The new company aims to give both suppliers and manufacturers a platform on which to advertise their products and services across Europe, and to search for potential new customers and suppliers by area and by specialty.
