Exhibition Facts & Figures

Testimonials from Industry Leaders

I am sure these exhibitions will play an important role to Local & Foreign Manufacturer, Dealers & Suppliers to showcase their products, where Bangladeshi Garment & Textile Factory Owners & Apparel Exporters can get in touch with them.

Bangladesh garment & textile sector is working so hard to achieve the vision of reaching $50 billion in RMG exports by 2021.To achieve this target we need to focus more on value added items & new Markets for export. These kinds of get together are very important for Bangladesh to reach in certain goal.

I would like to congratulate, Redcarpet365 Ltd & China Textile Machinery Association for organizing Bangladesh Int’l Garment & Textile Machinery Exhibition – BIGTEX 2017, Targeting the entire RMG industry of Bangladesh, they have 2 more concurrent exhibitions under one platform, named as Bangladesh Int’l Fabric & Yarn Expo & Bangladesh Int’l Dyes, Pigments and Chemicals Expo.

The cooperation between China Textile Machinery Association and BIGTEX 2017 will provide a great business platform, I believe it will make great contributions to the development of China textile machinery export as well as Bangladesh textile industry.

There is no alternative of Exhibitions on these sectors, they provide an opportunity to our experts, engineers & technicians in the field of textile to have a practical knowledge of the recent technological advancements available, without going abroad.

I am confident that these exhibitions will play an important role with the latest machineries, technologies, dyes/ chemicals, yarns, fabrics available for Bangladesh on display with Manufacturers / Suppliers from the world available to our Industry at the doorstep.
