Hanoi (VNA) - The Vietnam Hanoi Textile & Garment Industry and Fabric Garment Accessories Expos 2025 (HanoiTex & HanoiFabric 2025) kicked off in Hanoi on December 16, standing out as one of the most influential textile events in northern Vietnam.

The exhibition gathers more than 250 booths from nine countries and territories, focusing on textile and garment machinery and on fabrics and accessories for the textile, garment and embroidery sectors. Technologies on display include water- and chemical-saving dyeing machines, high-speed digital printers for small orders, energy-efficient finishing lines saving 25–35% of power, and waste-heat reuse solutions.

HanoiTex & HanoiFabric 2025 is expected to attract over 10,000 professional visitors, including manufacturers, import-export enterprises, designers, market experts and equipment distributors, reinforcing its role as a specialised trade and networking platform for the industry.

Beyond product showcases, the exhibition introduces integrated solutions to help enterprises orient investment strategies, enhance added value and improve competitiveness amid rising market standards. The event enables visitors to update key trends such as green production, digital transformation and automation, and enterprises to expand partner networks and supply sources.

The event is under the auspices of the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI), the Vietnam Textile and Apparel Association (VITAS) with nearly 1,000 members, the state-owned Vietnam National Textile and Garment Group (Vinatex), and the Ho Chi Minh City Textile and Garment - Fashion Association.

At the opening ceremony, Quach Quang Dong, Deputy Director of the Industry Agency under the Ministry of Industry and Trade, says the exhibition offers a practical opportunity for enterprises to access advanced, environmentally friendly technologies, strengthen partnerships, expand markets and meet stricter rules of origin under new-generation free trade agreements.

VITAS Chairman Vu Duc Giang emphasised that the exhibition provides an important platform for equipment, technology and material suppliers to connect with manufacturers and brands, supporting breakthroughs in the textile industry to 2030.

Running until December 18, HanoiTex & HanoiFabric is expected to contribute to sustainable development and stronger international integration of Vietnam’s textile and garment industry./.
