Qattex Unveils Full Range of Circular Knitting Machine Parts at IGATEX Pakistan 2026
Deepening Its South Asia Footprint with "China Factory + Dhaka Stock"

LAHORE, Pakistan — October 18, 2026 — From October 15 to 18, IGATEX Pakistan 2026, the largest textile and garment machinery exhibition in South Asia, was held at the Expo Centre Lahore. Foshan Quan Antong Trading Co., Ltd. (brand: Qattex) presented its complete range of circular knitting machine parts at Booth C-1-55, engaging intensively with knitting mills, equipment suppliers, and professional visitors from Pakistan and across South Asia, and conveying its core value proposition of "Made in China + localized service."

1. Exhibition Background: A Hub Stage for South Asia's Textile Upgrade

Founded in 2002, IGATEX Pakistan is the largest and most influential professional textile and garment machinery exhibition in South Asia. According to the organizer, Fakt Exhibitions, and publicly available sources, the previous edition (2025) brought together over 450 exhibitors from 25 countries, occupied 16,000 square meters of exhibition space, and attracted more than 10,000 professional buyers. As the world's fourth-largest cotton producer, Pakistan's textile industry accounts for roughly 60% of the country's total exports (State Bank of Pakistan, FY 2022–23: US$16.5 billion in textile exports) and serves as a key link in the supply chains of international brands such as H&M, Nike, and Adidas — making it a core battleground for Chinese textile parts suppliers expanding into South Asia.

2. Booth Highlights: Bringing the "Heart of the Knitting Machine" to the Floor

Under the theme "One-Stop Supply for Circular Knitting Machine Parts," Qattex spotlighted its core consumable components:

· Knitting needles: Co-exhibited with APEX Needle Solution, the circular machine needles emphasize high precision and long service life to help knitting mills reduce downtime from broken needles;
· Cylinders and Sinkers — precision-machined parts that secure stable, consistent fabric quality;
· Electronic Yarn Feeder DC3: stable feeding speed and reliable quality that lower the defect rate;
· Energy-Saving Air Jet and the SHENGSONG intelligent air-supply system: precise airflow-timing control delivers blow-off energy savings — on-site demonstrations highlighted a significant reduction in circular-machine energy consumption.

A "PRODUCT INTRODUCTION" feature wall systematically presented the product families, supported by physical samples and bilingual (Chinese–English) descriptions to help South Asian buyers quickly identify the right parts.

3. On-Site Engagement: From "Browsing Samples" to "Talking Partnership"

Throughout the show, the Qattex booth drew a continuous flow of local Pakistani knitting-mill procurement and maintenance teams, as well as professional visitors from Turkey, Bangladesh, and beyond. Student tour groups also visited in numbers to learn about the industry's cutting edge. Staff ran round after round of efficient meetings using a combination of physical samples, catalogs, and business cards — catalogs were widely collected, while business cards and inquiry details kept accumulating. These front-line, real demands are precisely the direct basis for Qattex's follow-up localized stocking and service optimization.

4. Localized Service: "Reachable in 3–5 Days" via China Factory + Dhaka Warehouse

Headquartered in Zhangcha, Foshan, Guangdong — a major hub of China's knitting industry — Qattex specializes in the R&D, manufacturing, and export of circular knitting machine parts and textile accessories, backed by its own factory and more than a decade of industry experience. Unlike pure trading companies, Qattex operates a warehouse in Dhaka, Bangladesh, providing South Asian customers with "stock-on-hand + fast replenishment" support and compressing the delivery lead time for critical parts to 3–5 days. This "China supply chain + local warehouse" model directly addresses the pain point South Asian knitting mills care about most: once a machine stops waiting for a part, every production line loses output value every day — nearby stock means minimal downtime.

5. Conclusion: Bringing Certainty to South Asian Knitting Mills

For knitting enterprises in Pakistan and across South Asia, the certainty of parts supply often matters more to competitiveness than the unit price of a single item. Qattex's participation this time demonstrated not only product breadth, but also a service commitment: leveraging local stock and more than ten years of expertise to keep customers' circular machines "running longer with less downtime."
