Almost 18 months before it opens, international textile machinery show ITMA has attracted some of the biggest names in the industry as exhibitors, despite their absence from the event in 2003.

Two of the world’s largest and most well-known companies from the textile machinery sector, Saurer and Rieter, as well as the leading manufacturers of flat knitting machines Stoll and Shima Seiki will exhibit to visitors and competitors at ITMA 2007 after they were not in Birmingham in 2003.

The latest products of the international textile machinery industry will be presented at ITMA in Munich, Germany, on September 13 – 20, 2007.
