KARACHI – Clothing, Fabrics and Textile Asia 2012 launched in the Inauguration Ceremony of eighth Textile Asia International Exhibition by Dr Mirza Ikhtiar Baig, Federal Advisor on Textiles- Ministry of Textile Industry and TDAP CE Tariq Iqbal Puri,.
The industry’s boosting feedback and high interest from manufacturers and exporters gave way to a bright opportunity for the origination of an event focused on extensive and latest selection of fabrics and materials of textile industry. Textile Asia is renowned worldwide for the display of textile and garment machinery brands but till date no such exhibition of clothing, fabrics and textile products under one roof was witnessed and now Ecommerce Gateway has successfully flashed such an event on the frontline state.
The chief guest termed the launch of Clothing, Fabrics and Textile Asia (CFT 2012) as a first step towards filling this void and providing numerous opportunities for Pakistani manufacturers and global buyers of these products. E-commerce Gateway President Dr Khursheed Nizam said; “We are excited about the potential for this show in Pakistan which will expand our presence in the clothing, fabrics and textile sourcing marketplace.”
“Ecommerce Gateway is Pakistan’s leader in the ‘Textile and Garment Machinery Show’ and also stands pioneer in providing this opportunity to our manufacturers and exporters which will directly contribute into increasing foreign exchange of the country and result in accelerating the economy of Pakistan.”
CFT 2012 will bring together yarn, fabric, trims and clothing manufacturers, retailers and designers by providing a pure business platform with a wide range of high creativity fabrics with an excellent price and quality relationship. The event will host more than 300 local and foreign exhibitors from various countries including Pakistan, Turkey, China, Malaysia, Italy, Germany, Russia, Belgium, India, Japan and many others.
The event is the only one in Pakistan focused solely on sourcing for textile, garments, furnishings, accessories, gifts, household products and materials. The event aims to provide manufacturers, retailers, converters and designers with a one stop sourcing venue where they can locate new products as well as materials and fabrics for their latest collections.
The event ultimately ends the role of the intermediary; thus serves in bridging and connecting the manufacturers and exporters directly with buyers from all around the world. The first Clothing, Fabrics and Textile Asia event will be held from April 7 to 9 in 2012 at Karachi Expo Centre, Pakistan.
The event will continue annually, and organisers strive diligently to create a larger sourcing destination for the marketplace.
