INDEX[3]J.FACTORY
photo_logo_J.FACTORY

Dates : Nov. 20 – 21, 2012 (10:00-18:00)
Venue : Tokyo International Forum
Factory zone & main concept display: 14 standard booths (expected)(on the lobby gallery)
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, and financially disadvantaged due to harmful misinformation following the disaster.
Participating companies : 27
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 distinguished production and a strategic escape route, to develop a global market stemming from the strength / 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, by consequential nuclear power accidents and puts them in a constantly unpredictable situation.
With the above in mind, a special exhibition, < J. Factory > will be showcased as part of the reconstruction supporting programme, inviting and featuring sewing companies alongside textile-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.
