Trade fairs are where buyers and people from the apparel industry from all over the world come to get a good look at trends and the latest technologies. The number of exhibits and participants is on an enormous scale, and visitors can approach and hold business discussions with vendors speedily and efficiently. Shimada Shoji started exhibiting at these kinds of trade fairs in other countries ahead of its rivals.
By continuing to develop new materials and disseminating information, and by keeping up with the latest trends, we have steadily made the Shimada brand a well-known name outside as well as inside Japan.
By proactively going to observe, instead of just exhibiting, and by constantly absorbing trends from around the world, we can improve our product development and capacity to make proposals in business. In Japan as well, we hold our own annual exhibition called Hi-G STOFF, and propose products in line with the theme for each year.

Intertextile SHANGHAI 2019

Shanghai | August 28 to 31, 2019

This is one of the largest and most comprehensive apparel fabric and accessories trade fairs in the world. Shimada Shoji began taking part in Intertextile SHANGHAI in 2007. This time, in celebration of our 130th anniversary, we showed a short movie and used traditional Japanese art, “animal caricature,” on our booth to promote our development capability as a Japanese corporation. It welcomed apparel buyers from China and all around the world, who were eager to learn about the company’s functional products and made-in-Japan goods.

Hi-G STOFF

August 1 and 2, 2019 (Tokyo)
August 27 and 28, 2019 (Osaka)
September 3, 2019 (Fukuyama)

This 33-year-old event sponsored by Shimada Shoji always receives a great deal of industry attention. Hi-G STOFF targets Japanese trading companies, apparel manufacturers, and suppliers (accessory and fabric manufacturers). We held this exhibition under the theme of “Old is Always New” to commemorate our 130th anniversary. The exhibition focused on our challenge of embarking upon a new stage and opening up markets for the next generation of business. We introduced our products by exhibiting end-user products to clearly show each item’s appeal and characteristics. Hi-G STOFF proved popular for its ability to meet the specific needs of visitors due to the separate exhibit categories including uniforms, sportswear, general clothing, casual wear, buttons, and items aimed at the ASEAN/China market.

ISPO MUNICH 2020

Munich | January 26 to 29, 2020

For more than 40 years, ISPO MUNICH has been one of the leading trade fairs for sporting goods, attracting in excess of 2,500 exhibitors presenting their products to more than 80,000 visitors. Shimada Shoji has been taking part in ISPO MUNICH since 2007, and this year’s fair saw Shimada Shoji’s corporate mascots, the eye-catching TRIM MONSTERS®, in every corner of the booth. Adorning the walls, product pamphlets, and commemorative stickers given out to visitors, the TRIM MONSTERS® delighted visitors and proved to be the ideal ambassadors for the light and sporty products Shimada Shoji had on display.

A+A 2017

Düsseldorf | October 17 to 20, 2017

Held in Germany (Düsseldorf), this is one of the biggest trade fairs in the world under the theme of “safety, security, and health at work.” Not only uniform apparels and accessories, but also a broad spectrum of products at workplaces such as machines and office supplies are exhibited. This was our second time at the event; and we exhibited sports-related trims, which are our strong point, and also trims from our overseas network. We focused on cord stoppers, tapes, and functional items. Our products received great attention for not just their functions, but also for their comfort and good design.
