The 2022 edition of Japan International Apparel Machinery & Textile Industry Trade Show (JIAM) has recently concluded in Osaka, Japan successfully.
The four-day exhibition showcased apparel manufacturing solutions, combining high-level skillsets and time-tested knowledge with the latest modern-day technology, as reported by organisers who revealed a total of 10,452 visitors attended the fair.
Assembling again for the first time since the pandemic began, 150 exhibitors (domestic: 112, overseas: 38) from 11 different countries and regions welcomed visitors with an extensive and diverse selection of products.
Buyers from Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, South Korea and Pakistan constituted the top five visiting countries (excluding Japan), compensating for a drop in visitors from China this year due to Covid-19 travel restrictions.
The theme of JIAM 2022 was – It all connects at JIAM – the forefront of technology and master craftsmanship.
Shinsuke Uchinashi, Chairman of the Japan Sewing Machinery Manufacturers Association (JASMA), commented during the inauguration, “In the new normal, there is growing demand for new technological advancements, productivity improvements and greater quality control. In addition to solving these pain points, this edition’s exhibitors are also showcasing various innovations in response to automation, IoT and networking.”
The next edition of JIAM will take place from 27-30 November 2024.
