Itema Strategically Strengthens Position In Indonesia; Appoints PT Illies Engineering Indonesia As Sole Agent

Itema, the world’s largest privately held provider of advanced weaving solutions has appointed PT Illies Engineering Indonesia as sole agent in Indonesia. Effective January 2015, all activities related to the sale of Itema weaving machines, spare parts and after-sales services in Indonesia are carried out by PT Illies Engineering Indonesia.

Fulvio Carlo Toma, Itema’s Group Sales & Marketing Director said on the occasion of signing the agreement, “Itema works relentlessly to provide the best tailored solutions, as well as effective and efficient services to customers worldwide. We are convinced that the long-standing record of professionalism, reliability and expertise in the textile industry that distinguish Illies & Co. will help further reinforce Itema’s presence in Indonesia, as well as allow us to respond quickly and effectively to our customers’ requirements in what we consider as one of the most strategically important markets.”

The new setup in Indonesia is in line with the company’s strategy to build up a stronger presence in important weaving markets throughout Asia Pacific with the creation of a new dedicated Regional Hub based out of Hong Kong.

“Indonesia is for Itema a key market in Asia Pacific and the company is deeply committed to provide, besides the best weaving machines in the playground, the most accurate and dedicated service. PT Illies Engineering Indonesia, with its experience and tradition in the Asian textile markets, is excellently positioned to carry out our mission with dedication and devotion,” added Toma.

Michael Hennig, Managing Director Asia Pacific of Illies declared, “Our company has a long-standing know-how about the Asian textile market and we work with the top industry players of the sector to develop and take care of their business in the region. Our Indonesia branch is honoured to count among its suppliers Itema and we are confident that together we will build a successful and strong partnership with the goal to satisfy the needs of the valuable Indonesian weavers.”
