Re : Invitation to Participate in “PREMIERE VISION ISTANBUL”, Turkey from 21st to 23rd March, 2018
We are glad to inform you that the Council is proposing to organize participation of Indian companies in the 8th edition of PREMIERE VISION ISTANBUL from 21st to 23rd March, 2018, as part of its Export Promotion Program for 2017-18.
As you are also aware, PREMIERE VISION is one of the finest brands of International Fairs, which are held in prominent location in the world including France, USA, Brazil and Turkey. It basically caters to the requirements of European, African and Middle East Textile Buyers/Traders, and provides an excellent opportunity to various companies with commitment and exclusive range of products to showcase their varied textile products to their target customers for doing business. The show covers products such as Yarn & Fibre, Fabric, Made-ups, Fashion Accessories, Denim and Design for their exhibiting to visiting customers.
Profile of the Event: PREMIERE VISION ISTANBUL is a premier category of International Fair for professionals from all fields of the Textile/Clothing industry. Over the past few years, fabrics imports from all over the world into Turkey have increased significantly. This is valid for raw materials and finished goods alike, and it happened parallel to the growth of the domestic market. Today's size of the Turkish market gives path to the fact that "the bigger the market, the more diverse the import basket". This also created a high demand for fabrics from new sourcing points like Asia, North Africa, South America and Eastern Europe. A rollout into the Turkish market is logical, as Turkey has one of the strongest global Textile Industries.
Turkey has a traditionally strong and highly developed production base for almost all sectors of textiles/clothing, and it supplies many needs from domestic sources, but diversified production-needs of the domestic market make import of a variety of goods necessary.
Why to participate in PREMIERE VISION ISTANBUL?
