New Start GT Korea 2018
“The only Garment Machinery and Textile Industry trade show in South Korea will be held in 2018!
expected to boost its presence as a sewing powerhouse and be a stepping stone for growing to a professional trade show”
GT KOREA(Korea International Garment Machinery and Textile Industry Fair), which was not held since the ‘Seoul International Sewing Machinery Exhibition(SIMEX 2005) in 2005, will be held at KINTEX, Ilsan, Gyeonggi-do for three days from November 14 to 16 with a new title.
Even though South Korea is one of the World’s greatest sewing powerhouses, it has not been equipped with a specialized exhibition of international scale due to the recession in the domestic market. As a result of the questionnaire survey on the related companies by Monthly Bobbin Journal, more than 90% of the companies felt the significance and necessity of holding the domestic exhibition for garment machinery and textile.
Accordingly, it was confirmed that GT Korea, organized by Korea Sewing Machinery Industrial Association which is the former organizer of SIMEX(Seoul International Sewing Machinery Exhibition), co-organized by SeoulMESSE International Ltd, Monthly Bobbin Journal, JES MEDIA, INC. will be held in 2018 when CISMA and IFMA, the world’s largest exhibition in the field of sewing and textile machinery, will not take place.
