The international sanctions of the past years delayed the modernisation process necessary for the Iranian industry to continue to be competitive within a global context. In 2004, Iran was ranked among the top ten markets for Italian exports in the sector. After years of stagnation, Italian sales to Iran registered a recovery. In 2016 first quarter the Italian sales to Iranian market totalled a value of Euro 2 million, while 2015 sales were worth Euro 8 million. Iranian demand is spread out over all types of production, but Italian finishing and spinning machines are the primary exports.

Raffaella Carabelli, President of ACIMIT, explains: "The Italian textile machinery Roadshow, held in Iran last month, 22 to 30 May, confirmed the clear concordance between Iran's textile manufacturers and Italy's textile machinery manufacturers was concluded with excellent results". The 27 Italian companies participating in the Roadshow took part in a series of technological workshops held in Tehran, Yazd, Isfahan and Mashad, in meetings with textile authorities and visits to local companies. "The Roadshow, Carabelli states, was concluded with excellent results. Participating companies were able to ascertain the local textile industry's desire to resume investments, especially in Italian technology".

At upcoming edition of Irantex, local companies will have opportunity to get a close look at the excellence of Italian technology.
