A three-day textile expo has opened in Tiruppur, bringing together 337 participants and around 800 stalls. The event began on Thursday at the India KnitFair Complex.

K.M. Subramanian, president of the Tiruppur Exporters Association, inaugurated the exhibition. The expo brings together four major events: Yarnex, TexIndia, Apparel Sourcing Fair (ASF), and DyChem Texprocess.

The exhibition covers a wide range of textile products. These include yarns, fibres, woven fabrics, textile accessories, dyes and processing solutions. It provides a platform for businesses across the textile supply chain.

Yarnex, which was launched in Tiruppur in 2009, showcases different types of yarns and blends. Participants include companies from northern India, Thailand and Taiwan.

Woven fabrics have been introduced at the event this year, with products from 20 companies on display.

The business-to-business expo is designed to support both large and small apparel manufacturers. Global buying houses, international brands and domestic brands are also participating.

The exhibition is held annually across six centres in India, offering textile companies opportunities to connect with buyers, suppliers and industry professionals.
