Made in France Premiere Vision show to focus on vocational training

Featuring 104 exhibitors, including 23 new entries, with seven different industry specialisations Made in France Premiere Vision, show will promote French textile/apparel manufacturers from March 28 to 29 at the Carreau du Temple venue in Paris.

The crafts and trades represented are accessory manufacturing, components, garment and knitwear manufacturing, fabric enhancement and raw materials. In addition, service providers, professional associations and training organisations will also be represented. Vocational training will be this edition's central theme, notably via the presentation of studio work by the Trans-faire workshops, the Atelier du Haut-Anjou and the flexible materials section (shoe and leather accessory makers, upholsterers and trunk-makers) of the Compagnons du Devoir and Tour de France craft associations, as well as via a showcase by nine international designers.

The Rencontres du Made in France conferences will focus on the perennial issue of recruitment and training, at a time when the French government intends to review apprenticeship rules.

IFM's Dominique Jacomet will host the conferences, with panellists Delphine de Canecaude (Twenty Magazin), Jean-Luc François (Groupement de la Fabrication Française) and Olivier Toussaint (of the Le Club des CHO think-tank). Four other conferences are scheduled, ranging from the redirection of sourcing towards France, to the challenges of company acquisitions, the role that a digital approach can play for French craftsmanship, and how French manufacturing is regarded by foreign buyers.

Last year, France apparel exports were worth €9.5 billion, up 27 per cent over a period of 10 years. In 2015, French textile manufacturers' revenues were worth €7.2 billion, providing 5,700 jobs, while the French apparel industry was worth nearly €8 billion, with 39,826 jobs.
