"Thank you, Gartex. It was an amazing three days of experience. We had a lot of footfalls despite the rains; many leads got converted, and we received new clientele. We showcased some new technologies as well in the embroidery and printing segment, and overall it was a very good response, and we will be participating again next year."
Mr Abhinav Arya, Managing Director, Fabcare (India) Pvt Ltd, shared:
"Right from day one, we have been associated with Gartex Texprocess India, and we participate here, which is especially designed for textiles and garmenting. We are now also seeing a customer base coming from the laundry and dry-cleaning value chains. Serious buyers are coming, and we are expecting a good turnaround on the last day of the show. This is the only exhibition where we conduct live demonstrations for all the new equipment, launch new products, and conduct presentations for our customers. So, we are quite happy with this trade fair."
Participating in the exhibition for the first time, Mr Janak Sutaria, Managing Director, Silver Samurai Textile Machineries, stated:
