 2016's Biggest Fair in its Field
 Tüyap Chairman Bülent Ünal gave the following information about the fair: "This is the 25th Garment Machinery Fair in 37 years. In the beginning, the fair was held every year and then every two years. The biggest feature of 2016 is that it is the biggest fair of this year in the world in terms of garment machinery. There are 435 companies from 29 countries. From America to China, from Japan to Japan, from all the countries of the Far East, it is a fair where all the companies and brands that have taken a distance in garment production and make production are present. Our expectation is 40 thousand visitors. 40 thousand visitors are visitors from 70 countries. These are mainly the neighboring countries around Turkey, starting from the Balkans and extending to Ukraine, Russia, the Caucasus, North Africa and Central Asia, where ready-to-wear clothing has started to take shape or is presented differently."

 Pointing out that apparel is one of the businesses that Turkey will not give up, President Ünal said, "One of the main reasons for this is that it is a sector that employs many women workers. Every 2 years there are serious breakthroughs in the apparel industry. This fair provides a demonstration to compete with the renewed technology. We can see these technologies in their entirety at this fair. There is everything you need to establish a new facility. It is the only place where you can find new technologies when you want to renew your facilities. For this year, it is the only place in the world where we can see these technologies."

 Emphasizing that fairs have a very important role in paving the way for Turkey's exports, President Ünal said, "If there have been around 60 thousand exporter institutions in Turkey to date, a large part of these have been realized through fairs that were prepared correctly and provided the right service to visitors. For this reason, I think it will be useful for today and for the future for companies to choose and participate in the fairs that are right for them."
