KV
Final Interstoff Asia Essential concluded in Hong Kong
 
Held from 25 – 27 September, Interstoff Asia Essential – Autumn 2014 concluded with more than 6,000 visitors from 41 countries and regions attending. The fair saw 145 exhibitors from seven countries and regions, including China, Germany, Hong Kong, Italy, Japan, Korea and Taiwan. This edition also marked the end of an era over the past 27 years, with the organisers deciding to cease holding the fair from next year and refocus efforts on the Mainland Chinese market.

Despite there was a sense of disappointment, many welcomed the decision

“You have made the right decision as we also want to focus more on the Chinese market. Your apparel fabrics fairs in Shanghai and Shenzhen both appeal to us.”
Mr Alan Tsang, Erictex Fashion Co Ltd, Taiwan
 
“Fabric quality in Mainland China has improved a lot over recent years. That’s why many global buyers are willing to go there for sourcing. As a result, Korean suppliers, including us, would like to have increased involvement in the Chinese market and join more fairs there. It will be helpful if Messe Frankfurt can allocate more resources to your Mainland shows.”
Ms Kang Yhun Hwa, Assistant Manager, R&D Textile Co Ltd, Korea
 
“Overseas buyers started to go directly to the source in the Mainland three to four years ago. If you could make your Shanghai fairs even bigger, it will be good news as this can create more potential for us. Moreover, by allocating further resources to these fairs, it will provide textile manufacturers in Zhejiang and Jiangsu Province with a broader platform to meet with buyers.”
Mr Kandy Chan, Zhangjiagang B&J Textile Co Ltd, China
 
“The textile market in the Mainland is huge and still developing. In order to meet with a large selection of suppliers, buyers need to attend trade events in the country to open up all the potential. That’s why revamped and bigger fabric fairs in the country will be to buyers’ advantages.”
Mr Lawrence Lee, Senior Sales Manager, Jiangxi Xinweisi Technology Development Co Ltd, China
 
“I am around Shanghai more often for sourcing as it is closer to a large number of textile factories. So it will benefit me if you allocate more resources to your Mainland fairs.”
Mr Salvatore Parasuco, President and Creative Director, Parasuco, Canada
Continuing to support Hong Kong’s textile sector
 
Even though the fair will not take place next year, Messe Frankfurt will continue to support Hong Kong’s textile sector as the market is still important. The company will help young Hong Kong designers to promote their work at fairs in Mainland China, where demand for original and creative designs is currently very strong.
