Japan International Apparel Machinery and Textile Industry (JIAM) was held November 30 to December 3, 2022. The trade show wrapped up four successful days of business.

A total of 10,452 visitors found their way to the fairground. Assembling again for the first time since the pandemic began, 150 exhibitors (domestic112 and overseas 38) from eleven countries and regions welcomed visitors with an extensive and diverse selection of products. Buyers from Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, South Korea, and Pakistan constituted the top five visiting countries (excluding Japan), compensating for a drop in visitors from China this year due to Covid travel restrictions.

The show attracted many visitors from South Asia and showcased apparel manufacturing solutions catered to each and every need, combining high-level skillsets and time-tested knowledge with the latest modern-day technology. In the new normal, there is a growing demand for new technological advancements, productivity improvements, and greater quality control. In addition to solving these pain points, this edition’s exhibitors also showcased various innovations in response to automation, IoT, and networking.

Highlights included a skills training seminar and panel discussions by leading companies in the manufacturing industry. SDGs, examples of IoT in industrial sewing machines, and upcycling initiatives were also on the agenda.
