China : The third Beijing Yarn Expo ends on high note
April 22, 2006
The third Chinese yarn event Yarn Expo in Beijing was wrapped up last week after a busy three-day run at a new venue: the China World Trade Centre.
Over 110 exhibitors from 10 countries were present, displaying yarn and fibre products for apparel and home textiles. Looking better and brighter than before, the fair ended on a high note.
The dynamic Chinese market and its potential for future sales was clearly the biggest draw for foreign exhibitors, and many came to meet agents and dealers in China, to make direct sales, and to create awareness about their company and brand.
"This is our third time at Yarn Expo and as always we are very pleased with the results," said Johan Vantomne from Procotex, a Belgian linen manufacturer.
"China covers 70 percent of our market and our participation in the fair is part of our overall marketing strategy," said Jean-Christophe Ponsin from Novalin, a French flax/linen fibres and yarns producer.
Nicola Sansour S from the Textiles del Sur SAC of Peru, a first time participant, agreed: "This fair is perfect for us. We have been selling our wool to the Chinese market for about five years as we recognized the country's potential early on. It is always a good idea to participate at local trade fairs such as this one in order to make more contacts. We are very happy with the results.”
Manufacturers of high quality and innovative products were especially happy with the feedback from domestic as well as overseas visitors.
"Our fancy yarns are always at the forefront of the global trends. We believe that we have a real chance to do well in this huge market. China’s economy is growing very quickly, and we don’t want to miss this chance. Yarn Expo gives us the opportunity to get a better feeling of the China market and create visibility for our name," said Ashvini Mehta of Suriraj Yarns from India.
Domestic exhibitors also felt it was important to be present at Yarn Expo Beijing 2006 to gain product exposure and gather market intelligence.
Wang Xiaodong of Taicang No 2 Cotton Industry from China also commented on the positive response his products received at the show, "We came here after a recommendation from a client and we don't regret our decision. Our fibres made of corn and bamboo have attracted many buyers including some good contacts from Japan and Korea. We also found the fair to be very professional and well organized.”
Products included a wide range of fibres and yarns from the basic to the more specialized, such as fibres incorporating functions, environmentally friendly fibres using recycled textile materials, fibres made of soybean and milk protein as well as bamboo.
“The fair continues to offer the diversity of products sought after by the industry. The range of products on display at this show grows each year and visitors come here specifically to source new and innovative items,” said Ms Annie Ma, Group Manager for Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd.
