The next edition of Kingpins Amsterdam has been planned from April 20-21, 2022 at Sugar City.

As per a Spin Off report, the show will host over 80 exhibitors including Advance Denim, Arvind, Bossa, Calik, Cone Denim, Desert Studio, Evlox-Tavex, Kipas, Kilim Denim, Kurabo, Lenzing, M&J Group, Naveena Denim, Sharabati Denim, Soorty, Tejidos Royo, The Lycra Company, Tonello, Vicunha and Wiser Wash, among others.

The event will include a series of celebrations of special anniversaries. Among others, the German chemical specialist Rudolf Group will celebrate the 100th anniversary of its foundation as protagonist and sponsor of the show’s happy hour.

Other anniversaries include Dystar’s 125th birthday. Tonello will celebrate 40 years of activity focused on processing jeans, while Officina+39 and Lenzing will both blow 30 candles.

By 2023, Kingpins will also host companies from Uzbekistan as the country is on the threshold to become a key supplier of the jeanswear industry soon. It is the seventh-largest cotton producer in the world, at similar crop-size levels of Pakistan and larger than that of Australia and Turkey. The country employs between 2.5 million and three million farmers and produces almost one million metric tons of cotton which is about two billion pounds, or enough for four billion T-shirts or 1.3 billion jeans.

Moreover, Uzbekistan’s spinning capacity now exceeds its cotton production and in 2023, it will begin importing cotton. The country currently has only three denim mills and four jeans factories but more might soon be established.
