From material innovation to product innovation; From manufacturing innovation to application innovation; Textile machinery plays an extremely important role in the integrated development of basic industries, emerging industries, and future industries. It applies cutting-edge technologies of digitization, intelligence, and automation to production technology, manufacturing equipment, green and sustainable materials, and provides sustainable green manufacturing solutions to promote the textile industry towards a more efficient and environmentally friendly direction. It plays a crucial role in the coordinated evolution of technological productivity, green productivity, and cultural productivity.

Shaping the future | 52 leading Italian textile machinery companies will make a collective appearance at the 2024 China International Textile Machinery Exhibition and ITMA Asia Exhibition

The 2024 China International Textile Machinery Exhibition and ITMA Asia Exhibition will be held at the National Convention and Exhibition Center (Shanghai) from October 14-18. This year's International Textile Machinery Exhibition will focus on the latest developments in global textile machinery and the needs of global users, and work together with industry insiders to embark on a high-quality, efficient, and international textile machinery procurement and trade journey. At that time, more than 50 Italian textile machinery companies will participate in the exhibition, ranking among the top participating countries as in previous years, with an exhibition area of over 1400 square meters. Among them, 29 companies will serve as members of the national exhibition group (organized by ACIMIT Italian Textile Machinery Manufacturers Association and ITA Italian Foreign Trade Commission) to showcase the ultra-high quality and excellent technical level of the Italian textile machinery industry up close to the attendees. Since the early days of the ITMA ASIA exhibition, ACIMIT and ITA have joined hands and successfully participated.

excellent

Made in Italy enjoys a reputation in the global market, and textile machinery is one of them. There are approximately 300 textile machinery manufacturers in Italy, providing employment for nearly 13000 employees and a production value of approximately 2.3 billion euros. 86% of the total sales revenue (approximately 2 billion euros) of the products are exported to over 130 countries. The accelerating internationalization process has consolidated and further enhanced Italy's leading position in the world textile machinery industry.

innovate

Italian textile machinery companies are small and medium-sized enterprises that are committed to research and innovation. They actively listen to potential customer needs and quickly transform them into customized solutions, helping customers produce high value-added new products such as technical textiles. As a result, they shoulder the innovation mission of the textile industry in various aspects such as economy and technology, and achieve world-class success.

have a long history

The Italian textile industry cluster is usually located in regions with long textile traditions such as northern and central Italy, such as: Bergamo, Biella, Brescia, Como, Milan, Prato, Vicenza。 Long term communication with textile enterprises has provided strong impetus and inspiration for the upgrading of mechanical technology. The supply of Italian manufacturers covers all classic industries that can be classified in the textile production process, and each type of machine is well represented in Italian export trade, including spinning machinery, finishing machinery, knitting machinery, weaving machinery, other machinery and accessories. The long history and unique products make Italian textile machinery renowned worldwide.

sustainable

The sustainability of the textile industry and its concern for the environment have become important issues that cannot be ignored, and Italian textile machinery manufacturers are also in a leading position in this regard. Italian companies have successfully provided solutions to help customers reduce water, energy, and raw material consumption, while improving energy efficiency and reducing costs. The Green Label project launched by ACIMIT in 2012 (now upgraded to the Clima Certified project) has proven its core commitment to sustainability over the years.
