After the resounding success of the first edition, the next edition of Intex South Asia is back, bigger and better than ever before with a new and powerful curated platform that enables a wider scope for both exhibitors and buyers to connect, network and expand. The fair to be held in Sri Lanka, between November 17 to 19, is the only international sourcing show in South Asia that brings together over 150 global suppliers of yarns, apparel fabrics, denims and clothing accessories from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, China, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Indonesia and more.

This year there has been an 42 per cent increase since last year. Sri Lanka is the ideal location for a pan-regional show given its strategic location, logistical connectivity and neutrality. Intex South Asia focuses on the South Asian region because it is the second largest hub for textile and apparel manufacturing in the world, second only to China.

Like the inaugural edition of Intex South Asia in 2015 that had a grand opening, this year too, the proceedings are to be grand. Intex South Asia is endorsed by the High Commission of India, Colombo; the Export Development Board of Sri Lanka (EDB); Joint Apparel Association Forum (JAAF) and other trade bodies in Sri Lanka, South Asia and other regions. Intex South Asia, with its theme “One Show – One Platform – One World”, would attract garment exporters and manufacturers, buying houses and agents, importers, distributors and traders, trading houses, local and international retail chain stores, apparel brands and fashion labels, design studios, government bodies and trade associations etc.

The sourcing show, is bringing international suppliers to Sri Lanka which will enable manufacturers to get world class fabrics on time thus increasing their competitive edge globally. At the same time, Sri Lanka’s central location in the region makes it an excellent point for re-exports.
