This year, we have more than 35 Chinese fabric companies participating,” said Lorie Gross, show director for Exposition Development Co. “Since we launched the show in 2013, the number one request from attendees was to bring more exhibitors that are showcasing fabrics. This year, we have been able to do that by increasing those types of exhibitors by 40 percent.
“Expo Producción is a must for companies currently doing business in Mexico and Central America, as well as those who would like to expand their business into the region,” Gross said.
