Italian textile machinery sales show ‘definite improvement’
30/07/2013
Industry association ACIMIT said the figures are the result of a growing rate of new orders from overseas (+14%) and a stable domestic market (-1%). Compared with the previous economic quarter, the orders index appears to have improved both domestically and abroad, it added.
ACIMIT president Raffaella Carabelli said: “Overall figures show a definite improvement with respect to the previous quarter. Italian manufacturers appear to have found largely more favourable conditions abroad during this part of the year.
"Sales of Italian machinery were up in Turkey, India, Germany and the US. This includes secondary markets such as Pakistan, Bangladesh and Mexico, where our producers are finding fertile territory. As for the Chinese market, we’re all waiting for it to rebound.”
