Industry Leaders on the FAB Show 2025
Santosh Katariya, President, CMAI, shared his insights on the upcoming show:
“FAB Show is an exceptional platform for the garment industry to access the latest trends and innovations in fabrics, trimmings, accessories, and services. In today’s competitive landscape, strategic procurement is critical for business success. The show’s primary focus is to help manufacturers identify the best suppliers offering competitive pricing, superior quality, and reliable delivery. Strong sourcing relationships enable cost savings, improve pricing consistency, and contribute to operational efficiency.”
With sustainability taking center stage in the textile industry, FAB Show 2025 will feature a dedicated Sustainability & Circularity Pavilion, supported by the Centre for Environment Education (CEE) and the Global Alliance for Textile Sustainability Council (GATS). This initiative will educate and raise awareness about sustainable and circular practices, aligning with CMAI’s commitment to fostering eco-conscious business models.
Naveen Sainani, Chairman, FAB Show, CMAI, emphasized the significance of this initiative:
“FAB Show has set a new benchmark for sourcing in the textile & apparel industry, reinforcing our commitment to driving growth and sustainability. As a global textile hub, India generates substantial textile waste, making sustainability a key challenge. Through focused initiatives, we aim to support responsible product development and contribute to a greener industry.”
Exclusive Pavilions & Strategic Partnerships
Further elevating the event’s significance, the Southern Gujarat Chamber of Commerce & Industry (SGCCI) will host an exclusive Surat Pavilion, featuring over 50 leading fabric suppliers for the fifth consecutive year. Additionally, Ichalkaranji Shuttleless Fabrics Manufacturers Association (ISFMA) will introduce top manufacturers from Ichalkaranji, known as the ‘Manchester of Maharashtra.’
In a strategic move to bolster industry collaborations, Chhattisgarh has joined as the Partner State, showcasing its immense potential in textile and garment manufacturing. With a thriving industrial textile policy, this partnership aligns with the Make in India initiative, strengthening India’s position as a global textile hub.
FAB Show 2025 is set to redefine the future of textile sourcing in India. Industry professionals, manufacturers, and buyers are encouraged to mark their calendars and be a part of this transformative event.
