At the current show (16th edition), slated to be held from 23-26 November 2016, about 250 exhibitors at 550 booths from 15 countries will showcase their products.

The H8800E-7C model by the company is a high-speed lockstitch machine with a built-in control box and an inner auto foot lifter. Another machine by HIKARI – HX6914T-03, is a high-speed 4-thread overlock machine with a cylinder-bed and a pneumatic side-suction auto-trimmer that makes it easy for extra thread to be removed from the finished seam.

Over the course of time, the four-day show has seen a gradual increase in footfall each year as interest in textile, garment, and accessories firms has also been on the rise in Vietnam… And the 2016 edition of VTG will also continue with the aim to attract trade visitors, buyers, and executives from textile and apparel companies and regional research institutions worldwide.
