Twin exhibitions to position Lanka as apparel sourcing hub

Sri Lanka will host the twin apparel industry exhibitions in November this year to help position the island as a sourcing centre for the clothing industry of the South Asian region. The Apparel Industry Supplies Exhibition (AISEX) and the Fabric and Accessory Sourcing Exhibition (FASE) will take place from November 9 to 11 in Colombo, to offer total industry solutions to the apparel export industry.

The AISEX exhibition will be held at the Sri Lanka Exhibition and Convention Centre (SLECC) and will cater to the machinery and technology needs of the clothing export industry. FASE will cater to the apparel industry's needs for fabric, accessories, trimmings and logistical services and will be hosted at the Sirimavo Bandaranaike Memorial Exhibition Centre (SBMEC).

AISEX and FASE together, will provide total solutions from machinery to technology requirements to accessories, to logistics, for the garment trade. The twin exhibitions that will draw international brand names and buyers into Sri Lanka will go on board on the same dates for the greater ease of apparel manufacturers looking for specific solutions as well as overall production improvement alternatives.

"The purchasing patterns of machinery are different from purchasing patterns of accessories. That is why we are organising two separate exhibitions. But the two exhibitions together will provide total solutions for the apparel industry," said Lilantha Jayaratne, the Business Development Manager of Lanka Exhibitions and Conference Services, the co-organisers of the two exhibitions.

AISEX and FASE are organised with the support of apparel industry representative bodies with the aim of meeting immediate and future needs of the industry in a scenario of increasing global competition in the apparel trade. Both events are organised by the Sri Lanka Apparel Institute and Lanka Exhibitions and Conference Services (Pvt) Ltd (LECS) with relevant industry support.

AISEX is in collaboration with the Joint Apparel Association Forum (JAAF), the umbrella apparel industry representative organisation is the industry partner and FASE is being organised in partnership with the Sri Lanka Garment Buying Offices Association (SLGBOA).
