ACIMIT targets Indonesia

02/05/2013
A delegation from the Association of Italian Textile Machinery Manufacturers (ACIMIT) is hoping to capitalise on Indonesia's growing garment sector when it heads to the country for a trade event next week.

The association estimates that 75% of machinery in Indonesia has been in operation for more than 10 years and that a state programme to relaunch the sector, through incentives for the acquisition of new machinery, equals opportunity.

In 2012, Italy exported textile machinery worth EUR 38 million to Indonesia – a 30% increase compared to the previous year. Only China, India and Bangladesh surpass Indonesia among major Asian markets. Indonesian demand for Italian machinery mainly focuses on finishing machines (35% of the total), followed by weaving machines (32%).

“Indonesia is one of our fastest growing markets for textile machinery builders,” said Sandro Salmoiraghi, president of ACIMIT. “We believe this mission will provide a further opportunity to strengthen the close ties that already link Indonesian textile manufacturers with Italian textile machinery companies.”
