The Vietnam Saigon Fabric & Garment Accessories Expo (Saigon Tex 2017) sponsored by the Ministry of Industry and Trade and VINATEX will open next month. The event is expected to attract more than 1,065 businesses from Vietnam and 24 countries including China, India, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Japan, the Republic of Korea (ROK), Thailand, Pakistan, Canada, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, the UK and the US.
On display will be latest garment, textile and dyeing machines and equipment, and equipment for business management and development.
Saigon Tex 2017 will create conditions for Vietnamese garment companies to access advanced machines, equipment and technology to improve their quality of products.
Truong Van Cam, vice secretary general of Vietnam Textile and Apparel Association (Vitas), said that the domestic businesses have invested more in modern
technologies and equipment to raise productivity and reduce labour forces.
The domestic garment and textile industry has constantly developed in recent year. In order to get US$28-30 billion from exports, the industry needs to import nearly US$10.5 billion of materials for production, mainly from China, Taiwan and the ROK.
The response of the expo is very good. 98% space of the 10 halls ( 2 main halls and 8 temporary halls) has been sold out. Some comfirmed exhibitors are still waiting for the space allocation
The Saigon Tex 2017 will be held from 5 to 8 April 2017 at Saigon Exhibition and Convention Centre, in Hochiminh City, Vietnam.
