DALLAS – February 5, 2009 – Market Center Management Company (MCMC), the management company of leading wholesale trade centers and trade events around the world, today announced the addition of the word sourcing to the name of its premier textile and sourcing show – now know as GlobalTex: LA International Textile & Sourcing Fair. The name amendment reflects the breadth of resources that will be available at GlobalTex, launching April 28–30, 2009 at the Los Angeles Convention Center (LACC). GlobalTex is endorsed by the Textile Association of Los Angeles (TALA) and the California Fashion Association (CFA).
“GlobalTex is much more than a textile show,” said Bill Winsor, president and CEO, MCMC. “We’re proud to offer hundreds of resources representing the entire design and production cycle, from industry technology and graphic design to trend forecasting and full-service production. Never before has a show on the West Coast offered a one-stop shop for product development.”
“We are thrilled to be a part of the premier GlobalTex show,” said April Booth, national sales manager, Eclat Textile Company and GlobalTex exhibitor. “The show will offer more opportunities for both exhibitors and attendees to extend their customer base offering new sourcing options – it’s truly the first show of its kind.”
