Italian textile machinery manufacturers will come together physically with the Turkish market, which is the second-largest export market, for the first time in a long time at ITM, on June 14-18. They, taking the pulse of the industry, will introduce their solutions for the increasing sustainability and digitalization demands of Turkish textile companies during the exhibition. President of the Italian Textile Machinery Manufacturers Association (ACIMIT) Alessandro Zucchi, made special statements to Textilegence regarding their evaluations and expectations for the ITM.
Zucchi stated that Turkey is one of the main markets for Italian textile machinery manufacturers and said that Italy has exported to Turkey textile machines for a value of 176 million euros in the first 9 months of 2021, making Turkey the second largest market for Italy behind China. Zucchi relayed that the demand of Turkish textile companies for Italian machines is mainly for knitting machines as well as finishing and weaving. He explained that 26% of their exports to Turkey in the first 9 months of 2021 are related to knitting machinery. Zucchi added that the expectations of the Italian exhibitors at ITM, which is one of the most important exhibitions in the world in the textile machinery industry, are very high and the business climate remains to be positive for this reason.
