WHAT A KICK-OFF!
The first APPAREL SOURCING CLUB-DAY hosted on 25 May 2023 in Frankfurt, Germany was a great success, presenting 52 apparel manufacturers to a large bandwidth of Sourcers coming to Frankfurt to capture the products and services of potential suppliers.
This first edition was focusing on sourcing destinations located close to the European markets, covering Albania, Bosnia Herzegovina, Egypt, North Macedonia, Morocco, Serbia, Tunisia, the Ukraine and others.
More than 300 pre-scheduled meetings took place during the DAY, underlining the effectiveness of pre-matching the parties prior to the event. Both, Manufacturers and Sourcers appreciated the concept of making it happen in one-day, at a central location, in the heart of Europe.
