Textile, RMG fairs for networking

Star Business Report
Stepping into the fair premises, one could hear the sound of humming of different machinery, ranging from sewing machines to the latest version of large multiple head embroidery machines.
From choosing yarn and fabric to sourcing machinery, and from finding the right chemicals for dying to value addition with embroidery and other accessories, everything is on display under one roof at Bangabandhu International Conference Centre in the capital.
Makers of textile and garment machinery from 18 countries are getting the chance to know the needs of Bangladeshi clients and local buyers are placing orders directly at the centre where three exhibitions kicked off on Tuesday.
CEMS-Global USA in association with CEMS Bangladesh have simultaneously organised the 13th Textech Bangladesh 2012
International Expo, 12th Dye+Chem Bangladesh 2012 Int'l Expo, and Sixth Dhaka Int'l Yarn and Fabric Show 2012.
It is a great business to business platform for the local readymade garments industry, where entrepreneurs come and can have plenty of opportunities to inquire about the quality and prices of textile machinery, dyes and chemicals, and yarn and fabrics.
Textech is the oldest and biggest textile garment technology and machinery expo of Bangladesh.
Participants are eagerly meeting clients ranging from businessmen to business students, although they had two dull-days of displaying products and services thanks to the late inauguration of the show on Tuesday and a delayed start yesterday, they said.
However, many of them are pretty optimistic.
“This fair brings a unique networking opportunity to fur-
ther promote companies and products of both importers and exporters. And you can enquire about machinery and technology you need in Bangladesh,” said Bella Zhu, sales manager of Xinchang Xinchang Textile Machinery Ltd.
The Chinese company displayed different types of machinery for plain socks, and gloves, which prices range from S 4,500 to $6,000. These machines can produce 25 pairs of socks an hour, she said.
A local company has already bought two large machines of XinchangXinchang, said Bella.
There were some participants who were looking for local agents at the fairs.
“We need an agent here in Bangladesh, who will introduce our products and manage our sales," said Vincent Xie, sales manager of Shanghai Gaohe Imports and Exports Ltd, another Chinese company manufacturing metal glove holders.
The organiser, CEMS-Global,
hopes to have a good number of visitors on the weekends, and said the majority orders come on the last day.
“We hope to see the maximum number of visitors and potential buyers on Friday, as the fair has been providing a perfect one-stop solution to the visitors and a platform for the exhibitors to interact directly with the buyers and importers," said Gazi Abdur Razzak, operation manager of CEMS Bangladesh.
The Dye+Chem Bangladesh 2012 Int'l Expo is targeted not only to the textile and apparel sector but also to the entire manufacturing sector of Bangladesh, he said.
With the ever-increasing competition in the world market, industries in Bangladesh can expand their share in international markets and could attract more foreign investment in the highly prospective industry, specially the garment and textile Industry, according to the organisers.
CEMS-Global's TEXTECH series of exhibition is also organised in Sri Lanka and Indonesia along with the Bangladesh edition and has been serving the textile and apparel sector of Bangladesh for over a decade, said Razzak.
CEMS, launched in 1992, has operations in seven countries and organises over 37 exhibitions annually on trade and economy.
A total of 450 exhibitors from over 18 countries, including Korea, Singapore, China, India, Hong Kong, Japan, Italy, Germany, Turkey, Sweden, United Kingdom, Canada, Taiwan, Malaysia, Switzerland, United States, Russia, France, Spain and Bangladesh, are participating in the fair.
Daily Shamokal and New Age are the media partners for the event.
The exhibitions will remain open only for trade and business visitors everyday from 10:30am to 7:30 pm upon registration at the fair venue.
