The Vietnam Saigon Fabric & Garment Accessories Expo (Saigon Tex 2017) will open at Saigon Exhibition and Convention Centre on April 5. It is sponsored by the Ministry of Industry and Trade and VINATEX.
On display will be latest garment, textile and dyeing machines and equipment, and equipment for business management and development.
Saigon Tex 2017 will create conditions for Vietnamese garment companies to access advanced machines, equipment and technology to improve their quality of products.
The domestic garment and textile industry has constantly developed in recent year. In order to get US$28-30 billion from exports, the industry needs to import nearly US$10.5 billion of materials for production, mainly from China, Taiwan and the ROK.
Truong Van Cam, vice secretary general of Vietnam Textile and Apparel Association (Vitas), said the domestic businesses have invested more in modern technologies and equipment to raise productivity and reduce labour forces.
