Maroc will be held in Morocco, October 11 to 12. Suppliers, full-package and CMT manufacturers as well as innovative suppliers of yarns, fabrics, accessories, technologies and services from the Mediterranean will showcase at the fair. The focus of the fair is fashion, fast fashion and sustainable eco-systems. Around 175 exhibitors from the Mediterranean are expected. About 1,500 visitors from Africa, Europe and America are expected. The fair will also present a denim cluster.
Morocco ranks eighth among countries exporting clothing to Europe. It offers political and social stability, a favorable geostrategic position, modern infrastructure, free access to European markets and extremely favorable production conditions.
The textile and clothing industry is the largest employer in the country. Morocco has more than 1,600 manufacturers with a production capacity of more than a billion parts a year. More than 1,80,000 people work in this sector, with another 1,00,000 to be added by 2020.
A central role is played by the promotion of so-called eco-systems, clusters that promote modern production, design and compliance with international standards. With the help of particularly successful companies, the so-called locomotives, the entire clothing industry is efficiently structured and managed.
Proximity to Europe allows for fast delivery by land and the garment industry is working toward short delivery deadlines.
