Hong Kong is still one of China's leading trade partners for textile import and export right after the USA and Japan. As the challenging worldwide economic climate has demonstrated the need for cost effective means of reaching out to quality buyers, the fair's concept will now more than ever facilitate this want. By positioning itself in the heart of South East Asia – Hong Kong, the fair continues to attract leading executives, designers and industry buyers from the South East Asian region, while delivering a well-rounded textile event to all attendees. Most notably, Interstoff Asia Essential will cooperate with Eco Textile News, to jointly hold a panel discussion that will offer new business ideas to textile and garment manufacturers, focusing on strategies in dealing with the current market situation. One of the open dialogues will be Can sustainability survive the global credit crunch? Meanwhile, Levi's, H&M and BASF have already confirmed to join this year's panel discussion. Continuing its eco theme and back by popular demand, specialists from recognised eco-textile certification bodies will return on-site to offer their services. Systain Consulting Hong Kong and The International Association Natural Textile Industry (IVN) have formed a clear and easy-to-understand picture of the eco-products on display that will help visitors get a quick overview of the eco-textiles at the spring edition of the fair. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Exhibition News :: home page |
