15/05/2012

According to the Association of Italian Textile Machinery Manufacturers (ACIMIT), Italian textile machinery manufacturers will attend ITMA ASIA and CITME.

Manufacturers of spinning, weaving, knitwear and finishing machinery will attend the Shanghai show from across Italy.

"China is our top market in the world", commented Sandro Salmoiraghi, ACIMIT president. "In 2011, we sold €450 million worth of textile machinery to Chinese companies, or 25% of our export business."

Mr Salmoiraghi added: "The demand from Chinese companies is increasingly more sophisticated. In China, our customers need a qualitative upgrade in the machinery they use.

"Efficiency, cost reduction and environmental sustainability are issues which come up time and again in negotiations for machinery sales in China."

The show runs from June 12-16 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre.
