HONG KONG, 26 September, 2013 – The Pinneco® Branding Team attended The Innovation and Technology Symposium 2013 organised by The Hong Kong Research Institute of Textiles and Apparel (HKRITA) at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre this past week.

The theme of the symposium is "The Future Of Innovation."
