ITMA 2011 in Barcelona was clearly a great edition of the machinery and technology exhibition. “It was very spectacular to see so much interest for our machines and services and many significant projects from the textile producers worldwide” says Bruno Ameline, the Chairman of UCMTF, the French Textile Machinery Manufacturers' Association.
He adds “there seem to be two different worlds, the financial world in jeopardy and a real economy where the entrepreneurs have long term goals and innovative projects to ensure the growth and the profitabilty of their companies.” The French exhibitors were amazed by the number and the quality of the visitors, their already well planned projects and their willingness to implement these very quickly to secure competive advantages on the market.
Contracts have been signed on the show, some on which the French machinery manufacturers may report, many which the customers want to keep confidential not to let their competitors know about their strategies. Evelyne Cholet, UCMTF Secretay General, states that “the French manufacturers are now harvesting the results of their strategy to address the specific requirements of their customers, to provide them tailored solutions and seamless service, in one word to build long-term relationships with them and provide added value to their projects.”
