For all to see: Visitors taking a look at the garment accessories at the Knit Expo 2007, which began in Tirupur on Thursday
Tirupur: The seventh edition of textile and garment fashion accessories exhibition Knit Show 2007 began at the Hotel Velan fair grounds on Thursday. More than 300 exhibitors with a range of products and leading machinery manufacturers from India and abroad are participating in the fair. Inaugurating the four-day event, Tirupur Exporters’ Association president A. Sakthivel said that the exhibition was providing entire accessories solution to the garment industry under one roof. Stating that investing profits continuously on upgrading technology was the reason for the Tirupur’s exporters making a mark in the highly competitive global environment, he said that these trade exhibitions have been helping the industry to get the latest machinery. Mr. Sakthivel said the sops announced by the Centre recently were not adequate to the exporters in the wake of rupee’s upward ride against dollar. He asked the Governments to help the exporters more to sustain the competition. He urged the Centre to exempt them from paying service tax. On the increasing import of ready-to-cut fabric to India, the Knit Cloth Manufacturers Association president Ahill S. Rathinasamy said it was because of the processing sector, which is weak in textile value chain. He hoped that once the processing sector was modernised, the knitting units would run to their full capacity. Besides a range of accessories such as laces, labels, tags, zips and embellishments, a sizeable number of stalls were displaying a variety of fabrics, mostly blended ones with cotton. Printing machinery and computer-aided design machines were the attractions. H.Krishna and M.Mahendran of City Leaves, organisers of the exhibition, hoped that more than 20,000 visitors from this region would visit the fair.
