The Association of Italian Textile Machinery Manufacturers (ACIMIT), a private body promoting Italian textile machinery, has announced that Italian textile machinery manufacturers will partake at the upcoming edition of CAITME, the Central Asian International Textile Machinery Exhibition, to be held in Tashkent, Uzbekistan from September 13 to 15, 2017.

16 Italian textile machinery manufacturers will exhibit in the common area set up by the Italian Trade Agency and ACIMIT.

Among these companies, ACIMIT’s associated members include Beta Machinery, Carù, Cormatex, Durst, Ferraro, Mcs, Pozzi Leopoldo, Ramallumin, Ratti, Rite, Santex Rimar Group, Savio, Sicam, Smit, Stalam, and Unitech.

At CAITME, Italian exhibitors will show the most advanced technology applied to the textile sector, offering proper solutions in terms of efficiency, costs saving, and sustainability.

Uzbekistan is one of the largest producers and exporters of cotton and its textile industry is a relevant driver for the national economy. Thanks to the availability of raw materials and low production costs the business conditions are favourable for the development of the local industry. The upgrading of installed equipment is considered a step to achieve this goal.

In 2016, Italian exports amounted to €15 million, exceeding 2015 figures, with a 16 per cent increase. Among the Italian machines most in demand by Uzbek textile companies are knitting machinery (62 per cent of the overall total) and spinning machinery (24 per cent). (GK)
