Exhibitors from eight countries and regions have so far signed up to join the newly independent speciality trade fair Yarn Expo Autumn. The show, running 29 – 31 October 2007 at the Shanghai International Convention Centre, is a unique fair for apparel fabric yarn and fibre makers that brings fabric manufacturers in direct contact with sourcing opportunities.
After two successful years accompanying the apparel fabric trade event Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics, Yarn Expo Autumn will be launched this year as an independent show with a new venue. The show is a golden opportunity for fabric manufacturers from the Shanghai area as well as hundreds of others attending Intertextile Shanghai Apparel Fabrics to meet their suppliers.
“The best feature this year is the separate venue,” says Mr Ravi N. Ravindranathan, Deputy Director of Texprocil, the Indian government-sponsored Cotton Textiles Export Promotion Council, a long-time participant at Yarn Expo.
“We are sure this new separate venue will attract better visitor turnout. Particularly yarn buyers – who are not interested in fabric sourcing – from mainland China as well as overseas will find it easier to visit this venue.”
As the largest textile and apparel producer in the world, China has heavy demands for yarns and fibres, creating a ripe opportunity for suppliers in these industries.
Exhibitor GTN Industries from India will be returning after a successful show last year, says Vice President Mr Kamal Mittal. The company will feature a wide array of cotton yarns including combed cotton, organic and Fair Trade cottons, grey and dyed knitted fabrics and gassed mercerised yarn.
