The Taiwan Textile Federation (TTF), a private sector group, expects Taiwanese companies that attended a fashion trade exhibition in Las Vegas are to obtain about US$5 million worth of orders.

The 16 textile exporters from Taiwan displayed readymade clothing, hats, socks and other accessories to potential foreign buyers at the Las Vegas Magic Show 2013 that was held from 18-21 August.

Participants

High performance fabric supplier AGT International, ladies woven apparel maker Caribbean Industrial, and sports socks exporter Danken Enterprise were among the exhibitors at the Taiwan pavilion.

Smart Hosiery, knitting fabrics supplier Hi-Tec Industrial, sock maker Paultex Industry, and garment accessory suppliers Taiwan Right Enterprise and Trim City Industrial also displayed their products at the show.

Under the theme ‘Think Taiwan for Textiles’, the pavilion attracted many international brands such as Adidas, bebe, Marubeni America, JLux Concepts, and Beachbody. These international brands held discussions with the Taiwanese companies and are likely to place at least US$5 million worth of orders for Taiwan-made products, the TTF said.

Expanding distribution market

The TTF also lead another delegation of 17 Taiwanese textile makers at a trade show at the California Market Center in Los Angeles that took place from 22-23 August, designed to help them to seek business opportunities in the massive US market. The manufacturers included yarn and dyed fabrics supplier Tai Yuan Textile, printed twill tape maker Shiann Yea Enterprise, and garment supplier Mo Tong Textile.

Yang Hsiao-chin, a section chief at the TTF, said the federation is determined to offer local manufacturers the necessary assistance to set up a distribution network in US cities, particularly in Los Angeles as it is a gateway to the huge New York market and Latin America.

The TTF is planning to hold similar trade shows and meetings in Indonesia and Vietnam in early November in a bid to help local exporters penetrate the global market, according to Yang.
