Textile Asia 2009 aimed to focus on the immense potential of textile & garment machinery, accessories, raw material supplies, chemicals and allied services under one roof. Pakistan’s SME sector does not have the resources to send technicians & other experts abroad for research & purchase of Textile & Garment Machineries. Textile Asia Int’l Textile & Garment Machinery Show thus provides such a platform to our SME sector where all the relevant decision makers jointly visit, test and purchase machineries.

7th Textile Asia 2010 will be a platform for policymakers, decision makers, businessmen, manufacturers of textile machinery and accessories, textile Suggestions for Foreign exporters and academia to exchange ideas on how to make the textile sector Companies of Pakistan more competitive in the world market.
