The Turkish textile industry met with buyers from all over the world at the Première Vision Paris, which was held in Paris, the capital of France, on July 5-7, with the participation of more than a thousand companies from around 20 countries, and laid the foundation for new collaborations. The ‘TFF Magazine’ booth of Uludağ Textile Exporters’ Association (UTIB) became one of the most important meeting points of the industry in the exhibition, where there was high textile companies participation from South Korea, India, Japan and predominantly European countries. China participated with 140 companies, India with 60 companies and Korea with 41 companies, while Turkey ranked second among the countries with the highest participation with 100 companies, after China.
Another frequent destination for Turkish textile manufacturers in Paris recently was Texworld 2022. 100 companies from Turkey participated in the exhibition held at Le Bourget Exhibition Centre on July 4-6. UTIB brought together 26 leading companies of Bursa with professional buyers at Texworld 2022, which brings together exhibitors and visitors from the fabric, accessories, yarn, home textile and leather industries. While 92 percent of the buyers visited to meet new suppliers, the products were examined with interest by the exhibitors and visitors.
“This will make a great contribution to Turkish textile industry exports”
UTIB Chairperson of the Board Pınar Taşdelen Engin noted that the exhibitions were very successful and said; “The Turkish home textile and ready-to-wear industry, which steers the world market, opened the doors of new markets with two exhibitions held in Paris, the capital of fashion.” Engin underlined that Texworld Paris and Première Vision Paris are two extremely important exhibitions for textile and ready-to-wear companies from Bursa, which exported more than 1.5 billion dollars in the first half of the year, and continued as follows: “Thanks to the exhibitions we participated in as UTIB, we provided the opportunity for our industry representatives to deliver their products to more buyers and to establish new collaborations, while also enabling them to gain a vision about current developments and the future of the industry. I believe that the meetings held at the exhibitions, where we met with the great interest of the visitors, will make a great contribution to the exports of Bursa and especially our country.”
