Saigontex 2018 will provide Vietnamese textile and garment businesses with the opportunity to research and source modern machines and equipment manufactured in industrialized countries. It will help them in preparing investment orientations for materials and new technologies, assist them in meeting the needs of domestic and foreign customers, improving product values, and in promoting the development of the Vietnam textile and garment sector in the international integration process.
The expo will not only serve to introduce new technological equipment designed to satisfy production demand of domestic businesses but will also encourage textile businesses and fashion designers to invest in their development and create new initiatives.
Fashion collections from designers in the Fashion Design Institute (FADIN) such as Thanh Danh, Vu Viet Ha, Tuan Nguyen, and Phuong Tra, as well as those from famous brands such as Belluri (Corporation 28), Toan Thinh Silk (Toan Think silk textile company), F.House (Phuong Dong Garment JSC), THECOSMO (the Cosmo Vietnam), Handee (Handee Company Ltd), and V-SIXTY FOUR (Viet Thang Jean Company) will be introduced at the event.
The textile and garment sector has contributed significantly to the country’s export growth in recent years. Last year it earned nearly US$31 billion in export value, providing a large chunk of the country’s total of US$213 billion. Such exhibitions have always drawn a lot of attention from both domestic and foreign businesses.
