 Mr Rohit Seru - President
Alok Industries Ltd., Mumbai
"We have got a lot of enquiries to our products, but mainly from our existing clients. However, some 30% are new contacts as well. Few visitors from Sri Lanka have also appreciated our products."
 Mr Pushpendra Tyagi - Vice President - Marketing
Mandhana Industries Ltd., Mumbai
"This was a good show for us. It’s a platform where we get to meet all kinds of buyers. There were buying houses, international delegations, exporters, and even buyers from abroad like Turkey. We were able to create this awareness about our company, our new designs and developments and this was appreciated by all the buyers."
 Mr Keiji Kodera - Head of Southern Region
YKK India Pvt. Ltd., Bangalore
"This is the first time we are participating in this show. We were able to meet a lot of people. The visitors were very interested and positive and wanted to add value to their garments by using our products in their garments. Usually, our sales people meet only
the purchase department people. Here, we could interact with designers, top management, merchandizers,
etc., and get valuable inputs from
them too."
 Mr Pritam Yadav, Fabric Technologist
Next Sourcing, Gurgaon
"The pavilion from China and the fabrics from Tirupur - both were really good. I also learnt a few things about eco-friendly fabrics and chemicals. Shows such as this help us to improve our sourcing chain and helps us locate new chain of suppliers. I, however, felt there should have been more suppliers offering accessories like natural, wooden and stones buttons as well as metallic.
 Ms Amrit D. Chaugule. General Manager - Sourcing
Gokaldas Exports Ltd., Bangalore
“This time the show has been much better organized. The new products on display at the YKK stall, as also the other displays like tapes and laces were very interesting and something we were specially looking for. I, however, felt there should have been a few more denim manufacturers. That’s the trend now!”
 Mr Kapish Tater - Category Managerr.
Numero Uno Clothing Ltd., Gurgaon
"A show of this kind should be held at least twice a year. We came from North India and so we could meet with suppliers from this region which we would otherwise not.”
 Mr Walter Perera - Chairman and Managing Director
Queens Work Wear Pvt Ltd., Sri Lanka
"I found a good supplier of fabrics for chef uniforms here at the F&A Trade Show. If everything works out well, I will give them an order of at least one 20-feet container of white and twill fabrics every month. Earlier I used to import my fabrics from Indonesia, but they have doubled their prices. It is for the first time that I find that India’s prices match those of China. We prefer to import from India since the lead times are less. From Indonesia or China, it takes 15 - 20 days for a shipment to arrive. From India, it can be done in 10 days. The quality of the fabrics we require are the same. It’s been worth every moment of the time that I spent at this show."
 Mr Alexander Evseenko - Head of Production Department
Zolla, Russia
I found some good cotton fabrics here. But I feel that the show should be 10 times bigger in size.”
 Mr Fernando Delgado - Co-founder
Curio Décor, USA
"I got some ideas for pillows and cushion covers using embroidered fabrics. I found fabrics that I equired. They were of the right quality and the right weight. The variety on display was good, but I wish there were a few more. I learnt about this show from your website."
 Ms Mariel Aguirre - Raw Materials Buyer
Sonora Apparel, Mexico
"I have come from Mexico for this show to look for fabrics suppliers. I was able to find some good fabrics and yarn at this show. I even found vendors who I could source my requirements from, like buttons. I read about this show on the Internet. You should have more suppliers and big brands too."
 Mr Pradeep Witharanage - Managing Director
Sadako Group of Companies, Sri Lanka
"We manufacture workwear and home linen and found new companies like Sri Lakshmi and Alok who we could source our products from. That Chinese suppliers are exhibiting here is a positive sign."
