23 Italian Textile Machinery Firms Exhibiting At Colombiatex
Italian textile machinery manufacturers will be participating at the upcoming edition of Colombiatex, taking place in Medellin from January 23-25, 2024.
23 Italian manufacturers of textile machinery will be present in a pavilion organised by the Italian Trade Agency and the Association of Italian Textile Machinery Manufacturers (ACIMIT).
These include Btsr, Color Service, Danti, Fadis, Flainox, Isotex, Itema, Kairos Engineering, Lgl, Lonati, Mcs, Monti-Mac, Nexia, Orox, Ratti, Reggiani Macchine, Salvadè, Santoni, Srs, Stalam, Tecnorama and Ugolini.
According to ACIMIT, the Colombian textile and clothing industry has experienced significant growth in recent years and consequently, imports of textile machinery have also increased.
In 2023, Colombian imports are expected to reach €58 million and between 2024 and 2027, the country’s import is projected to grow by an average 2.2 percent annually.
Italy has long been a technological partner for Colombian textile companies that have invested in the modernisation of their production process.
Italian exports to Colombia in 2022 exceeded €18 million, up 50 percent over 2021 and in the first six months of 2023, Italian exports to Colombia reached €9 million.
“The consistent presence of Italian companies at every edition of Colombiatex testifies how our sector is a privileged partner in assisting Colombian textiles in their path of growth,” ACIMIT President Marco Salvadè said.
“ACIMIT is committed to creating opportunities for meetings between Italian manufacturers and Colombian textile companies,” Salvade added.
“We have done this frequently by organising various business missions in Italy in collaboration with the Italian Trade Agency, with the most recent one enabling Colombian textile firms to visit ITMA 2023,” he stated.
