Texworld show floor praised by exhibitors & attendees

Triple show co-location

For the third time, attendees profited from the co-location with the International Apparel Sourcing Show and the Home Textiles Sourcing Expo. In particular, the co-location of Texworld USA with the International Apparel Sourcing Show enabled buyers, designers, merchandisers and sourcing professionals to trade on the entire value chain from yarns and fibers to CAD and private label development services. Attendees with cross-interest in home applications also headed to Home Textiles Sourcing Expo. The three events will return together July 16 - 18, 2013 in New York City.

Texworld closed its doors after three days distinguished by an increased number of attendees and exhibitors. The thirteenth edition of Texworld USA #

 

Exhibitor Statements

Raphael Javaheri, CEO, Ecotex, USA

We are showing at Texworld USA for the first time. The event has been effective for us in connecting with our East Coast clientele who want to see more of us.

 

Kristiana Tho, Company Representative, Mako, Inc./Ria Design, USA

We have seen a steady turnout of buyers at our booth this year. We plan to exhibit again in January.

 

Jenny Venouziou, Vice President of Tex-Ex Export (representing Rosset Group), USA

Although Rosset is well-known in the swim, lingerie and active market, we opted to show at Texworld USA to revitalize our presence in the market. The response has been good.

 

Yvonne Chung, Company Representative, Orientex Precision, Taiwan

We saw many new buyers from outside New York, mostly from Latin America and Puerto Rico. We are quite satisfied with this year’s event.

“I came to Texworld to find functional and manmade fabrics. And what I found was great. Vendors were more outgoing compared to the last event.”

 

Damaris Botwick, Director, Marc by Marc Jacobs

“This season's show was one of the best yet - improved calibre of exhibitors - improved layout with a map by type of mill, etc. I really like the apparel and home together - interesting crossover - one of the Indian mills showed in both locations - I visited both of them.”
