Over 130 leading companies involved in every aspect of technology, machinery, accessories and textile services for the apparel industry have converged for the past three days at National Apparel Technology Show (NATS) at the Montreal Convention Center May 15-17 2005.
While sewing machine operators and production work remain essential parts of a typical apparel factory environment, today's clothing manufacturing facilities rely on the latest available technology to service their customers' needs at high volume production levels, smaller runs, and everything in between.
Software and highly automated systems for designing, drawing, cutting and assembling garments, as well as computer-assisted inventory management are mandatory for most large facilities and play an increasing role in the production of every stitch of clothing.
“Having access to the most current technology and machinery is the first step in remaining competitive and underscores our involvement in this tradeshow,” said Eve Grenier, President, AMIQ and C.J. Grenier Ltée.
“NATS is the only show of its kind in Canada where apparel industry leaders meet, one on one, with major suppliers to the apparel
industry.”
“We recognize that investing in superior know-how equates to success,” added Elliot Lifson, President of the Canadian Apparel Federation and Vice Chairman of Peerless Clothing Inc.
“NATS is a unique opportunity to experience the latest developments impacting our industry.”
