About SPT
Seoul Premium Textile (SPT) is a unique business platform where Korean textile companies showcase advanced textiles demanded by global brands and fashion retailers.
The event is sponsored by the South Korean Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy under the Korean government.
The exhibition displays the advanced textiles created by Korean fiber companies, aligned with domestic and international trends, from yarn to fabric, featuring companies that have received acclaim at overseas textile fairs such as Première Vision in Paris and Unica in Milan. The event serves as a platform for buyer consultations, procurement discussions, and product evaluations. It supports the development of products that align with market demand and provides business opportunities.
A Decade of History
It was first discussed and launched at the 'Cooperation Council Between Fashion and Textile' in 2014, which brought together CEOs from leading Korean domestic companies in the textile and fashion sectors. Since that year, it has been actively pursued as a key collaboration project, leading to expanded domestic procurement between textile, fashion and vendor companies, as well as joint development of new products. This has resulted in substantial business outcomes that grow every year.
The fair was initiated to encourage cooperation among yarn and fabric companies by facilitating collaboration when buyers present ideas for product development during procurement consultations, with the aim of promoting the principle of mutual prosperity across different sectors.
