French Textile Manufacturers to show turnkey solutions at ITM Istanbul

“Next June 2022, ITM in Istanbul will be the first major textile equipment expo since the pandemic outburst. This is a major opportunity to meet in person with many of our long-time Turkish partners,” said Christian Guinet, secretary general of the French Textile Equipments Manufacturers’ Association (UCMTF).

The association is particularly strong in long fibre spinning (wool, acrylic …), yarn twisting and control (including technical yarns), space-dyeing, heat setting for carpet yarns, carpet systems, bleaching and hydro-extractor equipments, dyeing and finishing, felts and belts for finishing processes, precision machining and textile ERP, UCMTF said in a press release.

The global turmoil due to the Coronavirus has slowed many personal visits but, due to new communication techniques, innovation has continued to take place both in end products, equipments and production processes.

“Market changes are what our industry is about, it is quicker and quicker whatever the day-to-day issues. Then, our members have to be closer and closer partners for their customers in order to interact with them, understand their needs, and focus their R&D to find solutions, offer state-of-the-art equipment and the best service to every customer. French textile equipment manufacturers are R&D and service geeks. As they are SMEs run by entrepreneurs just as their Turkish customers, it is very easy for them to understand each other very well and to go beyond usual business relationships,” added Guinet.
