"Our fancy yarns are always at the forefront of the global trends. We believe that we have a real chance to do well in this huge market. China's economy is growing very quickly, and we don't want to miss this chance. Yarn Expo gives us the opportunity to get a better feeling of the China market and create visibility for our name," said Ashvini Mehta of Suriraj Yarns from India.
Domestic exhibitors also felt it was important to be present at Yarn Expo Beijing 2006 to gain product exposure and gather market intelligence.
Wang Xiaodong of Taicang No 2 Cotton Industry from China also commented on the positive response his products received at the show, "We came here after a recommendation from a client and we don't regret our decision. Our fibres made of corn and bamboo have attracted many buyers including some good contacts from Japan and Korea. We also found the fair to be very professional and well organized.”
Products included a wide range of fibres and yarns from the basic to the more specialized, such as fibres incorporating functions, environmentally friendly fibres using recycled textile materials, fibres made of soybean and milk protein as well as bamboo.
“The fair continues to offer the diversity of products sought after by the industry. The range of products on display at this show grows each year and visitors come here specifically to source new and innovative items,” said Ms Annie Ma, Group Manager for Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd.
