Jointly organised by Messe Frankfurt India and MEX Exhibitions, the first Mumbai edition of Gartex Texprocess India, scheduled to take place from 12 to 14 May 2022, will witness a launch to highlight advanced and sustainable apparel manufacturing technologies.
Flash dyeing of indigo, digital manufacturing and bio dyeing and sustainability initiative by Levi Strauss will be discussed at ‘Denim Talks’ that is scheduled on 13 May 2022.
In a statement, organisers informed that the event will have over 120 exhibitors and there will be an exclusive Denim Talks series to present digital manufacturing and bio dyeing technique for the first time in India, while the first-ever flash dyeing technique of indigo will be made public at this key textile industry gathering.
With Denim Show, Fabric & Trims Show and Screen Print India being hosted under its umbrella, Gartex Texprocess India 2022 will display innovations in textile and garment making machinery, denim, trimmings and screen-printing verticals.
Vijoy Kumar Singh, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Textiles, stated, “I had an opportunity to inaugurate the Delhi edition and visited the exhibition in person after such a long time of pandemic which stalled all the activities globally. We need to be careful but at the same time push economic activity in light of employment creation and development.”
He further added that it has been our experience that textiles industry is majorly dependent on imported machines. There is a need to make most of the machines manufactured in India, particularly in light of the current disruption of world logistics services. We in the Ministry of Textiles are currently formulating a scheme for incentivising the manufacturing of textile machinery in India. The approach is to incentivise local innovation and at the same time invite eminent manufacturers to set up ventures locally.
