Among them, Korea will set up a national pavilion to showcase a wide array of innovative products, hoping to effectively boost trade records.

Last Golden Investment Outlet in ASEAN

Since the U.S. and the European Union started to ease sanctions on Myanmar in 2012, more and more enterprises have moved to extend their reach into this high-growth economy in Southeast Asia. Among the most well-known examples are GAP and H&M, both working hard to help local factories upgrade production and improve industrial environment since starting to invest in Myanmar a few years ago. Fueled by a spate of expansionary macroeconomic policies, Myanmar’s GDP is expected to receive a significant stimulus for robust growth.   

Renowned International Brands

Inspired by its promising economic outlook and competitive labor force, many internationally renowned textile and garment equipment brands are moving to explore better business opportunities in Myanmar by participating in the MTG. Among them are Juki Singapore Pte Ltd., Macpi Group, Tajima Industries Ltd., Cixing (Myanmar) Co.,Ltd., Veit Hong Kong Limited, Ngai Shing Development Ltd., Truetzschler Gmbh & Co., Kg, Itema S.P.A. etc. Their exhibits come in a wide variety, including sewing machines, embroidery machines, flat knitting machines, spinning machines, weaving machines, pressing equipment, etc.

Informative Seminar Hosted by Smart Myanmar and Control Union

A unique seminar program will be held at 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. on June 25, the second day of the show, when four exerts serving at the SMART Myanmar and the Control Union will be invited to shed some lights on the topics “Introduction to SMART Myanmar’s factory services.” and “Certification demands on sustainability” respectively. 

The SMART Myanmar is a four-year project funded by the European Union to support sustainable production of garments “Made in Myanmar” that embraces social and environmental compliance, while also working closely with companies and business supporting organizations to build and strengthen local capacity. As to the Control Union, it’s an international organization from the Netherlands, specialized in inspections, certifications and collateral services related to different industries such as food, feed, textiles, timber, coal, oil & gas etc., with a well spread global presence of 72 countries. With respect to textile/apparel sector, Control Union is more visible as a prominent third party certification body, specialized in certification schemes more focused on sustainability.

We’re quite delighted to have senior industry experts speaking at MTG 2016, and their valuable knowledge and insight will surely make these seminars very attractive and conducive to those engaged in the textile and garment industry.
