Italian Textile Machinery Makers Hosting Symposia In India
11 Italian textile machinery manufacturers will be taking part in two technological symposia scheduled in New Delhi and Mumbai from April 9 to 12.
The two events will allow Italian companies to showcase their most up-to-date technologies to a selected audience of Indian textile entrepreneurs.
“This new promotional initiative aims to boost trade relations between the two countries in the textile sector,” ACIMIT, Italy’s foremost textile machinery trade body said in a press release.
According to ACIMIT, India represents the third largest foreign market for the Italian textile machinery industry.
“In India, the textile sector is steadily developing. The strong demand for technical textile applications like geotextiles and medical textiles is a business opportunity for us,” ACIMIT President Marco Salvadè said.
“These symposia’s will provide an opportunity to highlight Italian manufacturers, who are at the forefront especially in sustainability and digitisation of production processes,” he added.
“India imported Italian textile machinery worth €200 million in 2022. However, in the first nine months of 2023, the value showed a slight decrease compared to same period of 2022. But the forecast for the current year remains positive,” Salvade stated.
These technology symposia are part of a promotional program that ACIMIT has been organising for years to strengthen trade relations between the two countries.
“In particular, I would like to mention that the first Italian textile technology training center set up, was the one established at DKTE’S Textile & Engineering Institute Ichalkaranji (DKTE),” Salvade informed.
