A proof of the dynamism that characterizes the Italian textile machinery in the sector of technical textiles comes from the number of Italian manufacturers exhibiting at the next Techtextil in Frankfurt trade fair that takes place from 4-7 May 2015.

There are about 50 Italian textile machinery companies in Germany, of which 23 will exhibit at the Italian Pavillion organized by Italian Trade Agency and ACIMIT.

Technical textiles market

In Europe alone, the sector of technical textiles is worth EUR 30 billion, amounting to 30% of the total turnover for the European textile industry, excluding the garment sector.

The demand for technical textiles has thus boosted production in this sector, which is characterized by a high level of innovative content in both end products and production processes.

The increased demand for innovative solutions is precisely what enhances the role of Italian textile machinery manufacturers, the association believes.

Flexibility and versatility

“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,” said Raffaella Carabelli, the President of ACIMIT. “This is the area where Made in Italy machinery are at their very best.”

The companies to take part in the leading exhibition for technical textiles and nonwovens 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.
