14th Int’l Garment Industry on show in HCMC
(VOV) - Nearly 200 businesses from 10 nations and territories around the globe attended the 14th Vietnam International Textile & Garment Industry Exhibition (VTG 2014) which opened in HCM City on October 29.
On display at nearly 360 pavilions were hi-tech equipment in the garment and textile sector with well-known brand names such as Artrend, Da Kong, Tajima and Weltex.
From the beginning of the year, Vietnam’s garment and textile sector has gradually secured a firm foothold in the international market with a turnover of more than US$15 billion.
Especially, local found materials make up nearly 50%, a considerable increase compared to the previous years. However, as these materials are not of high quality, Vietnam still has to import materials to produce high-end products.
This year’s event is expected to help local businesses access the latest machines and equipment and the most suitable material source.
The event will run through to November 1.
