Textile zone: 11 standard booths (expected) >>> (in the PTJ venue)* Space for the PTJ business matching will separately established apart from the special
exhibition setting. (60m²: estimated)◇ Visitors: Overseas and domestic buyers / invitees◇ Exhibitors: Sewing factories as well as textile related companies, with offices (head office,branch office, factory, warehouses etc.) in the following prefectures:
Aomori / Iwate / Miyagi / Akita / Yamagata / Fukushima / Ibaraki / Chiba,
10and financially disadvantaged due to harmful misinformation following thedisaster.
◇ Participating companies: 27 (* Ref.: attached file No. 1 >>> Exhibitors’ list)◇ Organiser : Organization of Small & Medium Enterprises and Regional Innovation
Internationalization Support Centre◇ Support : Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO)
Amid the market globalisation, the demand for < made in Japan > products is newly
highlighted, underlining the potential for a new business opportunity via distinguishedproduction and a strategic escape route, to develop a global market stemming from thestrength / know-how of the production systems. The great disaster on March 11, 2011,decimated the Tohoku region in particular, where the majority of sewing factories are based,
despite such favourable tendency. The majority of reputed and high technicity sewing
companies based in the region have been affected financially due to harmful rumours
stemming from the aftershock of the devastating disaster. This is caused, in turn, byconsequential nuclear power accidents and puts them in a constantly unpredictablesituation.
With the above in mind, a special exhibition, < J. Factory > will be showcased as part of thereconstruction supporting programme, inviting and featuring sewing companies alongsidetextile-related companies from the Tohoku region and providing ‘business matching’opportunities in the < Premium Textile Japan > fair.
This special programme aims to recognize and rediscover the productive basis of the <Made in Japan > structure; paving the way for high-value production as well as providing
ideal opportunities for global business development, to all overseas and domestic visitors,
namely apparel/retail companies and designers. To make such constant and continuous
achievement possible, rather than temporary promotional activity, we appoint specialised
coordinators to cover global business development, offering consulting and an advisory
service for improved presentation/production and targeting further sales network expansion.
