Hosted by Paper Communication Exhibition Services and Guangdong Sewing Equipment Chamber of Commerce, The 10th China (Dongguan) Int’l Textile & Clothing Industry Fair and The 4th South China Int’l Sewing Machinery & Accessories Show were successfully organized on 4-7 March 2009, at Guangdong Modern Int’l Exhibition Centre, Houjie, Dongguan.

254 exhibitors gathered and experienced this important business and communication platform this year. They were mainly from China, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Holland, Italy, Japan, Korea, Switzerland, Sweden, Taiwan, England, the USA and so on. Influenced by the financial tsunami, order from overseas diminished, the no. of exhibitors slightly decreased, as well as the influence to the scale of the fair.

This 4-day show attracted over 32,920 buyers visiting. Although the no. of visitors slightly decreased by 15%, exhibitors believed that buyers visiting this years were more professional. Under the special arrangement of the Organiser, an obvious increase of overseas buyers was recognized.

As March is meant to be the peak season for purchasing of equipments for textile & clothing factories, hence, the Organiser believed that this fair would still be the most remarkable event in the clothing industry.
