Texprocess offers insights into sourcing hotspots

17/04/2013
For the first time at Frankfurt trade fair Texprocess, apparel brands will be able to visit manufacturing companies at national stands at the Source It platform – an overview of the world’s most important sourcing regions.

Among the countries represented will be Egypt, Hong Kong, Lithuania, Poland, Portugal, Senegal, South America and Vietnam. Visitors can find out about the situation in the local apparel industry, technical expertise, customs regulations, infrastructure and other circumstances relevant to sourcing.

Ina Stoltze, director of Texprocess, said: “Source It gives fashion labels an excellent opportunity to find out about the world’s sourcing hot spots without having to travel to the countries. A sourcing platform at a technology fair is a unique service, which combines the search for innovative machinery with the search for alternative production facilities.”

Also new is the “contact bourse” in the Source It lounge which will enable visitors to book appointments.

Texprocess runs concurrently to Techtextil, International Trade Fair for Technical Textiles and Nonwovens, which runs from 11 to 13 June.
