GFT Bangkok

23. - 26. July 2025 | Trade show for the garment and textile manufacturing industry

GFT is Thailand’s leading trade fair for technologies and machinery in the apparel and textile industry. Since its inception in 1989, it has evolved into a key meeting point for the industry, held annually at the prestigious Bangkok International Trade & Exhibition Centre (BITEC). Organized by RX Tradex, one of Southeast Asia’s foremost exhibition organizers, GFT serves as both a platform for technological innovation and a reflection of the dynamic development of Thailand’s textile and apparel sector.

What sets GFT apart is its focused coverage of the entire value chain—from machinery and systems for sewing, embroidery, weaving, printing, and laser cutting to functional textiles with nanotechnological properties, as well as modern manufacturing and service models such as OEM, ODM, and OBM. Sustainable materials, including recycled fibers, eco-friendly blends, and textiles for sportswear and medical applications, are also an integral part of the exhibition.

GFT provides a professional environment for industry visitors from design, production, and trade. Manufacturers, fashion designers, textile engineers, and wholesalers attend the fair to stay informed about current industry trends, establish new business connections, and make targeted investments in cutting-edge technologies and materials.

With a strong emphasis on technological excellence and forward-looking solutions, GFT showcases highly specialized exhibitors each year from sectors such as mechanical engineering, textile processing, fashion technology, and material innovation. International suppliers meet decision-makers from Thailand and across Southeast Asia, highlighting Bangkok’s strategic importance as a regional innovation hub in the textile industry.

BITEC in Bangkok offers the ideal venue for the event. As a modern, well-connected exhibition center with direct access to the Skytrain (BTS) and outstanding infrastructure, it ranks among the region’s top locations for trade shows. Anyone looking to experience the future of textile and apparel technology firsthand will find GFT the right place at the right time.

The 25th fair anniversary of the GFT takes place on 4, Wed. in 23.07.2025.
