Clarion Events North America (Clarion) announced the launch of ExpoProducción, a trade show primarily for the apparel and sewn products manufacturing industry. ExpoProducción will bring together leading companies from the equipment and machinery sector, along with both domestic and international textile manufacturers, technical textiles and fiber manufacturers, and all areas of service and parts suppliers. The show will be held annually at the World Trade Center in Mexico City, with the inaugural show scheduled for February 6-8, 2013.
"This show will be the only one of its kind in Mexico and will focus on delivering superior value and assistance to the garment and sewn products manufacturing market in this important and growing region," said Clarion's President, David Audrain. Audrain's background includes the production of several leading shows in similar markets, including the launch of the revised Bobbin World show in 1998.
As part of the event, a comprehensive educational program will be available to attendees at no extra cost. Additionally some high-level conference programming will be offered at reduced costs to members of supporting organizations. In a recent announcement to the association's members, Lic. Sergio López De La Cerda, President of the Cámara Nacional de la Industria del Vestido (CANAINVE), stated, "I would like to inform you that on February 6 to 8 of 2013, at the World Trade Center in Mexico City, ExpoProducción, a machinery, textile and trim event, will take place, which is something that our industry needs. We wish the organizers a great success and we invite all the manufacturers to visit ExpoProducción, that without a doubt will be of great benefit to our industry." The garment manufacturing industry in Mexico is seeing significant growth as domestic demand increases and orders from the USA move back to Mexico. Alejandro Faes, president of Mexcostura, the leading magazine for the apparel industry in Mexico and Central America, emphasized the importance of strengthening the internal market and promoting apparel exports from Mexico. "This is something that can only be achieved by becoming very competitive and offering high quality goods, which is why it is of vital importance to have this type of event where the apparel manufacturers will be able to find state of the art technology, textiles and all of the products in the supply chain." Faes is a past President of the Camara Nacional de las Industria del Vestido, and of the International Apparel Federation and is partnering with Clarion Events on the launch of ExpoProducción in Mexico.
