Gartex 2018
Amalgamating Fabric and Technology under one roof
Gartex is back with its third edition , bringing with it a revolution in exhibition content for the industry . With around 150 participants , the show this year will cater not only to a quest for technology , but for fabric too . Usually one gets to see either a fabric fair or technology fair , but Gartex believes in an amalgamation of both , to provide a wider experience to its exhibitors and visitors . Talking to Apparel Online , the organiser of the show , Gaurav Juneja , MD , MEX Exhibitions Pvt . Ltd ., expressed confidence that the fair will be appreciated by both the exhibitors and visitors alike . “ We have a vision to make the fair a one-stop solution for the visitors . The thought process behind keeping fabric / accessories and technology together is that any manufacturing person or exporter who is coming would want to see everything at one place , whether it is fabric , machinery or accessory . And similarly , buying houses / brands want to see not only fabrics and accessories but also the latest technology that the market is offering ,” reasons Gaurav .
Judiciously managing an event that represents a wide spectrum of products and categories requires a different set of preparation . As Gaurav candidly states , “ When you are managing diverse categories under one roof , the mindset has to be different , as things work differently and the synergies too are different . If I say it ’ s a machinery show with digital printing technology , then it should have inks and transfer process also

This year Mouvent , a leading player in digital textile printing industry , has confirmed its presence in the show as a Platinum sponsor for the event , which will enhance the strong printing section . as a part of it , only then is it a fair for the exhibitors and visitor alike , so everything aligned should be a part of the show for a complete end-to-end solution . The only difference is that for a fabric show , the profile of the visitors will be a little bit different though the companies are same – so we get both production and sourcing people . I have noticed that people who come for fabric are equally interested to see how it is printed , so it ’ s a one-stop solution for everyone .”
Another unique feature of the event this year is the Denim Show . Over the years , the denim market in exports has seen a decline ; in these circumstances , exporters are eyeing the domestic market , which has a huge potential for the denim section . “ The denim section is a fresh addition to the fair along with aligned products and accessories , which will be showcased in a separate area during the show . In all , 21 denim mills are participating ,” informed Gaurav . Apart from this , an embroidery section will have all the major big players displaying their products while another area will cater to ink , digital printing , raw material , sewing and knitting players . This year Mouvent , a leading player in digital textile printing industry , has confirmed its presence in the show as a Platinum sponsor for the event , which will enhance the strong printing section .
This year , another thing to look forward to is the Trend Pavilion
