In the context of free trade agreements such as the TPP or EVFTA, which may take effect in 2018, Vietnamese textile enterprises need to increase production capacity to improve competitiveness and meet strict quality demands from Vietnam’s export markets such as the US, the EU and Japan. One of the biggest challenges for many enterprises is to upgrade their current production technology which is out of date and low-yielding.

Understanding this need, since 2015, the Italian Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam (ICHAM) has organized a series of technical seminars in collaboration with leading Italian machinery manufacturers to bring Vietnam closer to the advanced production technology of Italy, as well as to connect and promote the trade relations between the two countries.

Italian production technology

On 13 September 2016, ICHAM will organize a seminar focusing on the Italian garment and textile technology in HCMC, in collaboration with The Union of business associations of HCMC (HUBA). This is the third seminar organized by ICHAM, following the series of technical seminars to introduce the quintessence of Italian technology to Vietnamese enterprises.

Coming to this seminar, textile manufacturers in Vietnam will have the chance to explore the Italian production technology, as well as to seek potential collaborations to upgrade their technology and improve their production capacity.

At the seminar, three leading Italian manufacturers of textile machinery will present to the audience the most modern technology available in the market for sock knitting, garment finishing and global solutions for the cutting room.
