After finishing the promotion at the exhibitions in Brazil and the Philippines in July, the DPES overseas promotion team continued our journey to the next stop — Bangkok. We attended GFT 2025, held at the BITEC Exhibition Center. Through on-site visits and face-to-face communication, we promoted the upcoming "DPES Textile Printing & Embroidery Expo," which will take place on March 11–13, 2026, in Area D of the Canton Fair Complex in Guangzhou. We also invited professional buyers from Thailand and nearby countries to visit the show.

As one of the most important textile and garment exhibitions in Thailand, GFT has been successfully held 25 times. It attracts many professional buyers from Thailand and neighboring countries, including garment factories, printing factories, processing workshops, clothing brands, and equipment agents.

During the exhibition, the DPES team handed out invitations for the “DPES Textile Printing & Embroidery Expo 2026” to both exhibitors and visitors. They introduced the highlights and value of the exhibition. Many local agents in Thailand are overseas Chinese and are familiar with the DPES show. They visit every year in groups and are interested in organizing more local buyers to attend the show in China.

This year's GFT exhibition had a strong lineup, with Chinese and Thai exhibitors making up a similar proportion. Well-known brands such as Gongzheng, Feidie, MIMAKI, SAITU, RICOMA, BROTHER, AGP, and Yinjie were all present.

Exhibits covered many categories including sublimation printing, fabric cutting machines, DTG, DTF, embroidery machines, sewing equipment, garment machines, fabrics, and accessories. Some exhibitors said that the advertising and textile markets in Thailand are highly integrated, and many customers work in both fields.

As a major garment production base in Southeast Asia, Thailand is now in a key period of industrial upgrading and equipment replacement. With more ASEAN manufacturing orders shifting to Thailand, the country is receiving many high-value orders from Japan, Europe, and the U.S., which brings higher demands for stable and multifunctional machines.

This promotional trip to Thailand helped raise the influence of the DPES expo in the Southeast Asian market and laid a strong foundation for attracting buyers to the 2026 show.

The DPES CHINA 2026 global buyer invitation campaign is still going on.
