BRIDGING THE INTERNATIONAL & LOCAL TEXTILE MARKETS
Pakistan is ranked as the world’s fourth largest producer and the third largest consumer of cotton, with a spinning capacity of 2.89 million kgs of yarn and weaving capacity of 8.94 million sqm of cloth. The textile industry of Pakistan contributes over 50% to the country’s total exports with an investment of US$ 7 billion over the past six years. Textile exports in the last fiscal year were US$ 9.48 billion. There are more than 4000 textile related industrial units operating in Pakistan out of which 90% of the units are using latest machinery and imported parts. In order to facilitate the local textile industry, the Government of Pakistan has allowed duty free import of a wide range of textile machinery and equipment. This has opened a gateway of opportunities for leading machinery and equipment manufactures.
The unprecedented developments in the textile industry have increased the importance of MEGATECH Pakistan in this region. Over the years the show has gained an excellent reputation at an international level and is recognized as a business-intensive event for the textile and garment industry.
Last year, the event had the presence of more than 400 companies representing 28 countries. The show was visited by 8,000 business professionals affiliated with the textile and garment industry. In addition, there was a High Level Technical Textiles Conference, which brought together eminent industry professionals to share their knowledge and technical expertise with the participants.
 The 8th edition of the International Machinery Exhibition of Garment & Textile Technology - MEGATECH Pakistan is scheduled from 4 – 6 March, 2010, at the Karachi Expo Centre. It is poised to introduce international suppliers of textile machinery and its related parts & accessories to the textile industry of Pakistan and to discuss areas of mutual interests with their Pakistani counterparts. This year, the exhibition will have special emphasis on technical textiles and textile engineering, enlightening the trade visitors with new technology and modern methodologies being used for textiles and garments manufacturing.
MEGATECH 2010 is also organising a ‘Knowledge Village – Pavilion’ for leading local textile research and development universities/institutes to display their research projects with the latest innovations and developments catering the local textile industry. The pavilion is aimed at creating synergy between textile industry and research centres of local textile university/institutes to explore new avenues of business in the textile industry.
The 3rd International Technical Textiles Conference co-located with MEGATECH 2010, will emphasise on the advancements in Medical and Geo textiles. The conference will be a unique opportunity to gain valuable insights of experts from U.K., India, Sri Lanka and Pakistan about the nature and prospects of technical textiles.
With the strong support of Ministry of Textile, Board of Investment (BOI), Engineering Development Board (EDB), leading textile associations of Pakistan, and The Faisalabad Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FCCI); MEGATECH Pakistan 2010 is geared up as the first show of the season and is attracting a good number of visitors from leading textile cities especially from Faisalabad, Lahore and Karachi. In addition, 16 international and local publications are supporting the event providing global and nationwide coverage.
Many international textile machinery manufacturing companies are joining MEGATECH Pakistan to showcase the products to their target market as it continues to attract key visitors from all the major textile cities of Pakistan. MEGATECH being the preferred show of the local textile industry will once again be an ideal opportunity for textile machinery manufacturers to increase their business leads and increase their existing market portfolio.
