ITM Exhibition to be organized on 21-24 April 2012 is announced as ITM Texpo Eurasia upon the joining with Texpo Eurasia organized every year and it will be the most important meeting of the Turkish Textile industry having recovered after the global economic crisis.

Mr Necip GÜNEY, Marketing and Sales Director of Teknik Fuarcilik LTD say that textile exhibitions must be organized in textile countries. We continue to organize ITM International Textile Machinery Exhibition, which was first organized in 2004 with the motto “Textile Exhibitions should be organized in a textile country” as Turkey is one of the most important players in the world textile industry and will always remain as an important player in the industry. ITM Exhibitions shall continue to gain strength as long as we maintain and preserve our position in the world textile.

As Teknik Ltd (Teknik Fuarcilik & Yayincilik) we have been only focusing in textile since 1996; consequently we have had publications and exhibitions dedicated for the textile industry. As a result of this knowhow and experience, we finger on the pulse of the industry.

We have never got into other industries and always continued on our way as we are only the publisher and organizer company of this industry. Consequently, even in the period when rumors claiming that Turkey will abandon textile, we have always repeated that “Turkey is a textile country and will always remain so” and maintained our business. The developments after the end of the crisis once more proved that we were right.

The developments in 2010 and the first half of 2011 indicate that the Turkish textile industrialists continue their investments and productions. The technology imports and product exports realized by Turkey a also justify these developments. Turkey ranks as the first 3 countries in machinery purchases and technology investments in the world.

Afterwards the global change process having started in 2008 and ended at the end of 2009, many things fall into place in the textile industry as well as in any other manufacturing industry in the whole world. In that sense Turkey gained a country ID developing and designing high quality, high value-added functional products. In addition to R&D and P&D investments realized up to now, machinery purchases dedicated to increase capacity and new technologies to diversify the product range still continue.

On the other hand, Turkish textile manufacturers cooperate with mainly European textile manufacturers as well as other overseas companies so as to expand their facilities or establish new facilities as partners or joined forces.

All these developments reflect that the textile industry in Turkey shall never end; it only reshapes in terms of content and type, and continue by renewing itself. We will continue to organize ITM Exhibitions as long as Textile is present in Turkey. We plan to organize the next edition of ITM in 2014.
