A significant group of Italian textile machinery companies from the non-profit organisation, ACIMIT (the Association of Italian Textile Machinery Manufacturers), will take part at the upcoming edition of Techtextil Frankfurt. The leading international trade fair for technical textiles and nonwovens will be held from May 14-17, 2019, in Frankfurt, Germany.

Around 30 Italian textile machinery companies are slated to exhibit in Germany. Of these, 15 will be on hand at the special exhibition area organised by the Italian Trade Agency and ACIMIT, in hall 3.0, booth B08-B10. These companies are all ACIMIT associated members that include 4M Plants, Bematic, Bianco, Color Service, Corino, Fadis, Ferraro, Gualchieri e Gualchieri, Loptex, Mesdan, Sicam, Stalam, Textape, Unitech, and Zappa, ACIMIT said.

The technical/innovative textile sector has developed at a very high pace in recent years. In 2010, global production of textiles for technical applications and nonwovens amounted to €37 billion, rising to €60 billion for 2018. In Europe, over 30 per cent of textile sector revenues currently derive from the production of textiles designed for technical or innovative uses. Germany is the sector’s primary European producer, at roughly €6 billion.

Growth in the industry has resulted in a substantial increase in demand for specialised ad hoc machinery, with the product ranges of Italy’s textile machinery companies broadening to the new needs of customers operating in this specific sector. ACIMIT estimates that over 100 of its associated members are working for the sector. (GK)
