Italian Textile Machinery Sector: A Growing Presence At Techtextil Frankfurt

In recent years technical textiles have grown on a global scale, much more significantly than the traditional textile industry. In Europe alone, the sector is worth 30 billion euros, amounting to 30% of the total turnover for the European textile industry (excluding the garment sector). This is thus an important sector for the Italian textile machinery industry, which will be present in greater numbers at Techtextil Frankfurt from May 4-7, 2015.

Around 50 Italian textile machinery companies will be in Germany, of which 23 will exhibit at the Italian Pavilion organised by Italian Trade Agency and ACIMIT. These are: 4M Plants, Biancalani, Bombi, Bonino, Canalair, Comoexport, Consorzio Italian Texstyle, Corino, Crosta, Cutlite, Dell’orco & Villani, Mecatex, Monti-Mac, Noseda, Omr, Pmt, Ramina, Ratti, Rollmac Div. Gemata, Saspe, Srs, Toscana Spazzole, Unitech.

Says Raffaella Carabelli, the President of ACIMIT, “The flexibility and versatility that differentiates Italian textile machinery has enabled Italy’s machinery manufacturers to become global leaders in machinery specially designed for the production of technical and innovative textiles, a sector in which it is essential to work in collaboration with customers, allowing for flexibility in adapting existing machines to less traditional production processes. This is the area where Made in Italy machinery are at their very best”.
