The Association of Italian Textile Machinery Manufacturers (ACIMIT) and the Italian Trade Commission (ICE) will hold a technological symposium on Italian textile machinery in Teheran on next 2^nd and 3^rd May 2006.

 

During the workshop some Italian experts will give an overview of the most updated Italian technologies in finishing sector and in denim treatment (spinning, weaving and finishing) to the Iranian textile operators.

 

At the textile technological meeting some Italian manufacturers of most requested equipments in the Iranian market (Avantec Srl, Biancalani Spa, Giovanni Bozzetto Spa, Brongo Srl, Corino Macchine Spa, HTP Unitex Spa, Jaeggli Meccanotessile Srl, Maino International Spa, Promatech Spa, Reggiani Macchine Spa, Smit Spa) will introduce their updated technologies, as well as exchanging views and ideas on technology and holding trade talks with local textile manufacturers.

 

This workshop attended by an istitutional delegation of ACIMIT, leaded by his Past President, Mr. Alberto M. Sacchi, will represent an occasion for a meeting between ACIMIT Board representatives and the main authorities of the Iranian textile sector.

 

The workshop is part of a promotional programme that ACIMIT and ICE have been realizing for many years in order to strengthen the links between Italian textile technology providers and the local textile operators. It includes also some technician seminars in Italy for Iranian textile operators, collective partecipation to local exhibitions and technological meetings, periodically scheduled in Iran (the last one occurred in 2005).

 

The reason of this widespread information activity is because the Italian textile machinery industry pays the highest attention to Iranian market, where the sales of Italian machinery were about Euro 40 million in 2005. The most requested Italian machinery were the spinning ones (62% of the total export toward Iran), followed by finishing machines (16%) and knitting machines (14%).

 

300 Italian companies (with 22,500 employees) that in 2005 produced machinery for a value of Euro 2,600 million, pay the highest attention to the requests of the textile industry to propose new solutions of innovation, productivity, safety with the utmost satisfaction of their clients.

 

The quality of the Italian textile technology is testified by the high number of Countries where the Italian machinery are sold: about 125. In 2005 exports represent about 80% of total sales (worth Euro 2,200 million). Asia (with a share of 42%) is the main destination for Italian sector exports, followed by other European countries extra-EU (21%), European Union (20%), Latin America (6%) and North America (6%).
