“Over the course of the past few years, Indonesia has represented one of the primary markets in Asia for our machinery manufacturers,” explained Alessandro Zucchi, president of ACIMIT, “with roughly 25 million euros worth of Italian machinery sold over the first nine months of 2017, a 19% increase over the same period for 2016.”
