Italian textile machinery manufacturers with 20 leaders to exhibit in the common area set up by the Italian Trade Agency and ACIMIT for the second year at the upcoming edition of Colombiatex, a leading trade fair for Appreal and Textile industry. The Italian textile machinery sector once again expected to stand out as a major player.

Among the Italian manufacturers in attendance at the common exhibition space, ACIMIT’s associated members include: Biancalani, BTSR, Cogne, Carù, Fadis, Fk Group, Itema, Laip, Mactec, Mcs, Monti-Mac, Nexia, Noseda, Ratti, Reggiani, Srs, Tecnorama, Testa and Ugolini.

This well represented contingent of Italian manufacturers at Colombiatex confirms the level of attention Italy’s textile machinery manufacturers place on the Colombian market. Colombia is a country whose textile and garments industry has grown significantly in recent years. Among the Italian machines most in demand by Colombian textile manufacturers are finishing machinery (50% of the overall total) and knitting machinery (18%).

ACIMIT president Raffaella Carabelli said that the fashion sector has made its mark throughout the continent due to its dynamic outlook and originality.

Italy’s textile machinery industry will be collectively represented, bearing witness to the undisputed value both the event and the Colombian market have taken on over time for their machinery manufacturers.

The upcoming edition of Colombiatex will be held from January 24-26, 2017 at the Plaza Mayor in Medellin, Colombia.
