The industry’s boosting feedback and a high level of interest from manufacturers & 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 & garment machinery brands but till date no such exhibition of clothing, fabrics & 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 & 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.

Dr. Khursheed Nizam, President, Ecommerce Gateway, said; “We are excited about the potential for this show in Pakistan which will expand our presence in the clothing, fabrics & textile sourcing marketplace. Ecommerce Gateway is Pakistan's leader in Textile & Garment Machinery Show, and also stands pioneer in providing this opportunity to our manufacturers & 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.

Clothing, Fabrics & Textile Asia aims to be the only event in Pakistan focused solely on sourcing for Textile, Garments, Furnishings, Accessories, Gifts & Household Products and materials. The Event will provide manufacturers, retailers, converters, contract specifiers and designers, a one stop sourcing venue where they can locate new products as well as materials and fabrics for their latest collections. The event is ultimately eradicating the role of the intermediary; thus serves in bridging and connecting the manufacturers & exporters directly with buyers from all around the world.

The first Clothing, Fabrics & Textile Asia will be held on 7-9 April 2012 at Karachi Expo Centre, Pakistan. The Event will continue annually, and would strive diligently to create a larger sourcing destination for the marketplace.
