Apparel Industry Suppliers Exhibition (AISEX) will take place in Sri Lanka, June 10 to 12, 2016. AISEX aims at sharpening the manufacturers’ hunger for technological innovations in the apparel industry and providing the garment industry with the complete solutions necessary to forge ahead in Sri Lanka.

It will bring together suppliers and service organizations under one roof and focus on a wide range of textile machinery, accessories and services from many parts of the world. The exhibition will generate new opportunities closer to home, within the South Asian region. AISEX 2016 will encourage suppliers and service organisations to showcase their latest products for apparel manufacturers. The networking taking place during this exhibition will also help build global relationships between such parties.

Exhibiting companies will be from material flow, quality control, model and cutting preparation, cutting room, fusing, stitching, joining and fastening technology, product processing, distribution logistics, energy and air-conditioning, information media, fabric and yarn, and support services like insurance companies and banks, freight forwarders, courier companies and shipping companies.

Readymade garments are Sri Lanka’s biggest export products. However, the region’s investment in technological development and R&D is rather low, and in the face of increasing global competition, the apparel industry is in need of sustainable solutions to meet its technology needs.
