20 years of success and

dedication, IGATEX PAKISTAN sets

a mark for textile & garment industry

The textile industry plays a vital role and its exports are the backbone of Pakistan’s every-now-and-then
flailing economy, hence it is vital to take every step to support this industry in particular. Coming true to its
name and attributes, IGATEX PAKISTAN is a professionally enriching experience for textile and garment
machinery manufacturers and it provides them with an opportunity to directly make their equipment
available to quality buyers and decision-makers in a rapidly evolving global business environment.

In all its glory, it completed 20 years of establishment and still aims to hand out great opportunities to the
textile industry to learn about the latest trends and technologies for the years to come. Per its tradition, FAKT
Exhibitions (Pvt.) Ltd. will be organizing 13th International Garment and Textile Machinery Exhibition and
Conference from 1st - 4th December 2022 at Expo Centre, Lahore.

IGATEX PAKISTAN is the largest and the most sought-after garment and textile machinery and accessories
exhibition in South Asia. It has been acting as an intermediary between buyers and sellers around the globe
and aids in providing a platform for the textile and garment industry to stimulate trade and business
constantly. Without a doubt, IGATEX PAKISTAN has made a clear name for itself in the industry as the
leading global garment and textile machinery exhibition.

Saleem Khan Tanoli, CEO of FAKT Exhibitions said, “We would like to thank our exhibitors who have become AD
a valuable part of IGATEX PAKISTAN ever since it's inception. They have supported and stood with us
through thick and thin which is of immense importance to us.”

ICAC: New publication to address

Specialty Cottons

The ICAC has been publishing its Extra-fine Cotton Report for many decades but all things must come to an
end, and now is that time. However, the ICAC Secretariat will continue to publish information about ELS
cotton — it will just happen once a year now, as part of a new publication called ‘The Specialty Cotton
Report’. There has been an explosion in the number of non-conventional types of cotton being produced
and marketed in recent years and this inclusive new publication will address all of them.

The first part of the new report will cover information on the long staple variety of cotton from both producing
and consuming countries and will be written by the ICAC Secretariat.

The second part of the report will cover information on all other identity cottons produced throughout the
world. For this section, we will invite the organisations who produce the cotton to write an article about their
respective method and what makes it unique.
