Yarn Expo Autumn, one of the world’s largest fairs for yarn and fibre industry, concluded last month with an unprecedented number of exhibitors and visitors. This year, the show welcomed 319 exhibitors from 12 countries and regions, a 24 per cent increase versus the prior year.
E & T Vietnam Co. Ltd. was one of the first time exhibitors at the fair. “We already have buyers who want to place orders and many others will maintain contact with us after the exhibition. For the first time being here, the fair has been very successful for us,” said Nguyen Hiep Phuong Trang, CEO of the company. She also said they would attend next year and recommend the show to fellow producers in Vietnam.

Held at National Exhibition and Convention Centre, Shanghai, China with the exhibition space extending 35 per cent to 11,500 sq. m., the fair attracted 11,832 buyers showing a surge of 63 per cent as against last year.
Wendy Wen, Senior General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd. said, “The last few years has seen a steady increase in exhibitors and buyers, to the point where the fair is now seen as one of the leading global yarn and fibre trade events. The huge increase in buyers this year is evidence of that, and among other reasons, is a result of the quality and industry-leading exhibitors from both China and abroad that choose to exhibit at Yarn Expo each year.”
