ATSC a platform for Canada’s ‘thriving’ textile industry
15/07/2019
This is the fourth running on ATSC, which first took place in 2016. It is expected to attract up to 5,000 visitors from more than 20 countries.
“In spite of global trade uncertainties, the Canadian apparel and textiles industry is thriving, with an increasing number of Canadian businesses looking for alternative sources of supply to keep up the pace of growth,” said Jason Prescott, CEO of JP Communications, the show’s organiser.
The countries that will have their own pavilion for the first time in August include Ghana, Peru and Turkey. Away from the exhibition floor, there will be an accompanying conference programme.
The organisers have also announced that Swiss textile testing and certification group Testex will also host its own pavilion. It will feature a range of textile mills and apparel factories.
“Issues related to sustainability and compliance are at the forefront of sourcing and purchasing decisions for many enterprise-level buyers across North America,” said Chase Vance, ATSC director.
“As a result, Testex has taken an industry lead and through its pavilion will present examples of manufacturers that have simplified the process to meet the most stringent compliant regulations in the global apparel and textile industry.”
