Intex, South Asia’s premier International Textile Sourcing Show from Aug. 9-11

Intex, the highly anticipated International Textile Sourcing Show, is back in Sri Lanka and scheduled to take place from August 9–11, at the BMICH Colombo.

Since 2015, Intex has been facilitating business collaborations, fostering innovation and promoting trade opportunities. This year, Intex Sri Lanka will present a range of exhibitors spanning the entire textile value chain including yarns, fabrics, accessories, denims, dyes and ancillary support systems comprising certifications and designing solutions and more.

With Sri Lankan garment exports touching US$ 5.93 billion in 2022, Intex looks to strongly support Sri Lanka’s apparel sector across multiple levels by increasing industry and brand visibility, helping to expand market presence internationally and creating opportunities to strengthen its position in the regional and global supply chains.

Joint Apparel Association Forum (JAAF) Secretary General Yohan Lawrence stated, “The Joint Apparel Association Forum once again partners with Intex in Colombo and is having a physical show in August 2023. Intex is being organised at the right time as post-Covid, the Sri Lankan apparel industry has seen an incredible recovery with the industry operating at full capacity.”

In 2022, Sri Lanka imported US$ 146.47 million in yarn, US$ 311.78 million in knitted fabrics and US$ 278.38 million in woven fabrics from India. The India Pavilion at Intex Sri Lanka which brings over seventy companies from India including members of the Cotton Textiles Export Promotion Council (TEXPROCIL), looks to fulfil these and other demands for raw material by the Sri Lankan apparel industry.

Worldex India Executive Director Arti Bhagat, organisers of Intex Sri Lanka since 2015 said, “Sri Lanka’s textile and apparel sector has a strong international reputation for quality, craftsmanship and ethical manufacturing practices.”
