Strong South Asian presence expected at next Toronto ATSC

Following Toronto’s business mission to India and Sri Lanka, led by Toronto mayor John Tory, organizers of Canada’s largest apparel and textile sourcing show, Apparel Textile Sourcing Canada (ATSC), have announced the unprecedented participation of a large South Asian delegation at the upcoming event from August 21-23.

Jason Prescott, CEO of JP Communications says around 25 per cent of this year’s ATSC show will be dedicated to exhibits from South Asian apparel and textile manufacturers, with India taking a leading role. Prescott further added that ATSC 2017 will foster unparalleled business connections between local Canadian companies and leading South Asian producers of apparels and textiles who see tremendous opportunity for collaboration with the Canadian industry.

Chandrika Behl, Director, Exhibitions India Group points out globally, India enjoys high demand for its textiles and apparel, and that’s why the country has emerged as the world’s second largest textile and apparel exporter and they forward to forging strong relationships with the Canadian market.

Since 2011, Canadian apparel imports have steadily increased 8.3 per cent annually on an average to touch $14 billion in 2016. ATSC debuted in Toronto in August 2016 with more than 200 booths with more than 1,800 attendees. The Canadian event has since announced a 50 per cent expansion of the show for its second edition. This year, the event will feature at least 300 displays from more than 20 countries.

Prescott explained that the first of its kind apparel, textile and fashion event in Canada, ATSC was introduced to aid Canadian businesses to connect with international suppliers on their home turf. At present Canadian companies have the luxury of staying locally and avoiding expensive and unnecessary international travel says Prescott
