The Island of Bali will play host to the first Asia-based exhibition of high-profile producers from the European beachwear industry - comprising spinners, weavers, and converters of accessory producers – from March 14-16, 2006.

Organized by the MarediModa Group - the exhibition is intended to create networking opportunities between European beachwear and beachwear fabric manufacturers – making the elements of the high-quality European Beachwear system more accessible to customers the Far East and Asia Pacific region.

Headquartered at the Bali International Convention Center (BICC) in Nusa Dua, the three-day event complements similar exhibitions organized regularly by MarediModa in Cannes and Munich.

Elaborating on why the important beachwear exhibition has chose Bali for its first Asian show, Mr. Donato Peduzzi, Director of the MarediModa Group said: "The aim is to create a bridge between the European Beachwear system and the Asian market. We want to show that we are pro-active through a strategy that will bring the top quality of the European Beachwear System to new, strongly developing markets in the Pacific area, where there is increasing demand for high-end beachwear!"

Mr. Peduzzi went on to state: "MarediModa is not just a trade fair, it's not just about commercial exchange between companies with products that respect tradition, history and the typical and inimitable qualities of Italian-made goods, but it is also a brand that wants to broaden the debate about the 'philosophy of beachwear' to all the sector's components, upstream and downstream. The time is ripe to assert the excellence of the high-quality European Beachwear system in the Far East."

Established in 1988 within the Italian Silk Association, The MarediModa Group, has become a fixed point of reference for manufacturers of beachwear, who consider the quality of the fabrics and the precision of the service, elements that are championed by the MarediModa Group as fundamental to their continuing success.

More than 60 exhibitors are expected in Bali in March 2006, representing a combined turnover of more than € 1 billion and employment for more than 3000 people.
