21 October 2009, Milan - The Association of Italian Textile
Machinery Manufacturers (ACIMIT) and the Italian Trade Commission (ICE) is to
organize organize a technical workshop dedicated to Italian technology for the
nonwovens and technical textile industries, in partnership with the Nonwovens
Institute of North Carolina State University. The event will take place at North
Carolina State University in Raleigh on November 11th and 12th, 2009.
At the meeting, Italian technical textiles and nonwovens machinery
manufacturers will introduce their latest technologies and exchange views and
ideas on technology with the main US companies involved in these sectors. ACIMIT
says that technical textiles and nowovens are gaining more and more importance
in terms of size, due to the technological features of their products and to
their continuous offer of new and promising market niches.
ACIMIT estimates that about 100 of its member companies are
involved in the production of machinery for technical textiles or nonwovens and
says that the sector is seeing a steadily growing turnover, accounting for 10% of
the total turnover of the Italian textile machinery industry.
“The Italian participants at the workshop in Raleigh are
only part of the Italian supply chain for this sector. To find the ideal
technological partner, textile operators should contact ACIMIT, where they can
find out more about ACIMIT’s associate members operating in the sector,” says Mauro
Badanelli of ACIMIT’s Economics and Press Office.
ACIMIT brings together Italian textile machinery companies,
which collectively produce more than 80% of Italy’s entire Italian textile
machinery production with associated members, including consortia, technical
schools, technical magazines and research centres.
