Japan Sewing Machinery Manufacturers Association (JASMA)

After six years since the last exhibition, we had a lot of new products to showcase. Promoting Japan's technological strength to the world is just as important as selling products, so we all worked together to prepare for the show. We also appointed as many people as possible to staff the booth and actively incorporated their ideas. Thanks to these efforts, we were well received by visitors from overseas.

— Hiroyuki Okamoto
Executive Officer
Pegasus Sewing Machine Mfg Co Ltd

We were prepared for a drop in the number of visitors due to COVID-19, but received more visitors than expected, not only from Japan but also from India and Bangladesh. This year, we showcased not only individual sewing machines but also solutions that improve production line productivity, which proved to be very popular.

— Koichi Naganuma
General Manager
Brother Industries Ltd

We had many visitors to our booth, both domestic and international. JIAM 2022 OSAKA made us realise that we were not as well known in the apparel industry as we thought, and it was a good opportunity for us to raise our exposure. We are positive about the next show.
