As in previous editions, an Italian contingent of companies will be exhibiting at TECHTEXTIL RUSSIA in 2019 (to be held in Moscow on 19 - 22 March). ACIMIT, the Association of Italian Textile Machinery Manufacturers, and the Italian Trade Agency for the promotion and internationalisation of Italian companies, will both be on hand with an institutional stand (Hall Forum, booth FC 140) to provide visitors with all the necessary information relating to the latest Italian textile technology.

(Jan-Oct 2018)[/caption] Italian machinery manufacturers are among the primary technology suppliers for the Russian market. In 2017, Italy’s textile machinery exports to Russia amounted to 20 million euros, rising to 27 million euros for the first ten months of 2018, an 84% increase compared to the same period for 2017. Zucchi concludes, “The ACIMIT / ITA institutional stand confirms that even in a year full of trade fair events, among which stands out ITMA Barcelona, there’s still a willingness on the part of our association and our associated members to strengthen an already fruitful relationship with Russian textile manufacturers.”
