The textile and garment machinery exhibition held in Dhaka from February 4 to 7, 2015 saw exhibitors get orders worth more than $200 million. More than 30,000 local and international visitors visited the exposition. Around 880 exhibitors from about 32 countries and regions showcased a wide array of state-of-the-art textile and garment technologies, machinery and parts. Some 1,060 booths exhibited products of leading brands at the fair.
The expo introduced latest machines and technology to the country's textile and garment industry’s supply chain that includes spinning, weaving, knitting, dyeing, printing, finishing, testing, washing, embroidery, sewing, and other related equipment.
It was the ideal platform for local exporters to come in contact with relevant manufacturers, regional agents and wholesalers to source high quality machinery, equipment and materials under a single roof. Besides the host Bangladesh, other countries represented at the fair include: Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, the Netherlands, Pakistan, Portugal, Romania, Singapore, Spain, Sri Lanka, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, the UK, the USA and Vietnam.
BTMA and Chan Chao International and Yorkers Trade and Marketing Service of Taiwan jointly organised the expo which is regarded a mini version of the big regional exhibition, ITMA.
