Connecting Strengths, Driving Innovation, Shaping the Future of the Industry — Opening Remarks by Chairman Yang Xiaojing at CISMA2025

Amid the golden autumn and bountiful harvest, it is with great joy that we welcome the grand gathering of the global sewing machinery industry — the official opening of CISMA2025! On behalf of the organizer, the China Sewing Machinery Association (CSMA), I would like to extend my warmest welcome and sincerest thanks to all the leaders and industry colleagues who have long supported the development of the exhibition, and to all exhibitors, visitors, and friends from around the world attending this event.

After a two-year hiatus, CISMA2025 returns with a refreshed outlook under the theme “Intelligent Sewing Empowers Industrial New Quality Growth.” This session gathers nearly 1,600 leading global enterprises, presenting the most cutting-edge technologies, products, and solutions in the sewing field with craftsmanship and innovative spirit. We are honored to welcome more than 60,000 professional visitors and industry partners to exchange ideas, foster cooperation, and jointly shape the future. CISMA2025 is not merely a showcase of innovation; it is a crucial platform driving the sewing machinery industry toward enhanced productivity and high-quality development.

CISMA2025 connects strengths and embraces diversity. Upholding an open philosophy of “unity in diversity,” we bring together premium global industry resources, integrating advanced technologies from East and West, and connecting buyers from over 100 countries and regions. The exhibition demonstrates the sewing machinery industry’s spirit of collaboration, resilience, and opportunity creation. As a high-end platform linking global resources, CISMA actively builds an innovative ecosystem spanning upstream and downstream sectors and multiple industry formats. This year, we have further supported the expansion of niche segments such as CNC control, printing and dyeing, functional components, and growth enterprises with core technologies. Here, tradition meets digitalization, established players and emerging innovators converge, enabling full-chain collaboration from technology R&D and manufacturing upgrades to market services.

CISMA2025 embraces renewal and showcases tangible achievements. The industry’s recent deep cultivation and breakthroughs are on full display — from smart sewing and green technologies to comprehensive digital solutions; from fundamental units to system integration incorporating IoT and AI. Exhibits cover the entire industrial application spectrum, serving not only textiles and apparel but also home furnishings, automotive, aviation, and other diverse sectors. This fulfills the industry mission of “refining technology, optimizing applications” while meeting the growing aspirations for improved quality of life.

CISMA2025 shines together with its partners, sharing value. Guided by the principle of “harmony in diversity, common prosperity,” we aim to build a global collaborative hub for industrial chain synergy. The exhibition not only presents cutting-edge products and disruptive technologies but also constructs a high-level ecosystem integrating information sharing, technology promotion, trade connections, and industrial collaboration. Through online-offline connectivity, precise supply-demand matching, and cross-sector technology integration, CISMA continues to expand global business opportunities, creating value for every participant and driving the industry toward a high-quality, sustainable future.

CISMA2025 remains steadfast in its mission. For thirty years, CISMA has adhered to its core principle of “rooted in the industry, serving the world,” embedding high-quality industry development into its mission. From “manufacturing” to “creation,” from “traditional” to “intelligent,” CISMA actively responds to the national strategy for new industrialization, leveraging its role as an international high-end platform. Through thematic product evaluations, overseas distributor recognition, international cooperation forums, technology development forums, and university CNC competitions, CISMA continually enhances its platform functionality and influence. Today, a globally integrated sewing industry ecosystem centered around CISMA is accelerating, demonstrating its far-reaching industrial value and leadership.

By connecting strengths and driving innovation, CISMA2025 welcomes global guests with openness, and reciprocates the trust and expectations of the global industry through innovation and collaboration. We sincerely hope all friends take this opportunity to deepen exchanges, build consensus, and cooperate closely, jointly writing a new chapter for the prosperous development of the global sewing machinery industry.

Finally, I sincerely wish CISMA2025 great success! Thank you all.
