The 5th edition of the highly successful Intex South Asia textile trade show in Sri Lanka will take place at the BMICH, Colombo next week - on November 13-15. 

This year, more than 200+ leading suppliers from 12 countries and region will participate to promote their business and explore new business opportunities in South Asia and other International markets. 

“This year Intex South Asia brings to Colombo for the first time, Cotton Council International (CCI), also known as Cotton US, which is the export promotion arm of the National Cotton Council of America (NCC). Cotton US, as ‘our Innovation Partner’, will bring you the latest in research, highlighting new ideas in technology, fashion, blends, processes etc,” the organisers said in a media release. 

Also presenting for the first time at Intex South Asia is ‘Fashion for Good’ which will give insights on trends and technological textile innovations, driving sustainability in the textile value chain and its South Asia programme, while the ‘Better Cotton Initiative’, as the Sustainability Partner, will highlight “Sustainability in Textiles” for better understanding of environmental, social and economic sustainability. 

Joint Apparel Association Forum Sri Lanka Chairman, Sharad Amalean said, “Sri Lanka is proud to host Intex. Year-on-year, we have seen Intex up the game and today, we have exhibitors from different parts of the world in this region exhibiting textile fabrics, yarns and accessories.” 

He further stated, “Whilst agility, flexibility and digital solutions have become the crucial drivers of success, partnerships and relationships form the core. Intex South Asia provides an excellent forum for all stakeholders of the industry from Sri Lanka and overseas to build and develop these relationships.”

This year, alongside the exhibition, the Cotton Textiles Export Promotion Council of India (TEXPROCIL) is also organising a trade delegation which is led by Dr. K V Srinivasan, Chairman and Managing Director of Premier Mills / Premier Fine Linens. 

He said that, “The Intex South Asia provides a robust platform for untapped South Asian intra-regional trade, by delivering access to industry developments, networking opportunities and strategic initiatives with other global suppliers from across South Asia and the world to help expand industry and business, in one location, under one roof. We are confident that the exclusive networking platform provided by Intex South Asia 2019 will be extremely useful for importers, wholesalers and agents.” TEXPROCIL would be forming Indian Textiles Pavilion for the third time in a row.
