Itema, to exhibit weaving innovations at DTG 2018, the 15th Dhaka international textile and garment machinery exhibition. The Itema target is to demonstrate to the industry the textile superiority, the real production performances and the excellent efficiency of the R9500 when it comes to weaving the widest range of fabrics, including shirting, apparel and fashion fabrics.
Itema is a leading global provider of advanced weaving solutions, including best-in-class weaving machines, spare parts and integrated services. The Company is the only manufacturer in the world to provide the top three weft insertion technologies: rapier, airjet and projectile, with an ample product portfolio and a commitment to continuous innovation and technological advancement of its weaving machines. At the Techtextil India that took place from 24-26 September in Mumbai, Itema exhibited its weaving innovation technology for technical fabrics.
Italian fabric manufacturers have been struggling since globalization opened the sector to cheap Asian competition at the end of the 1990s. Though Italy's fabric industry has improved productivity in recent years, it has not been able to compete on wages.
This has put Italy behind two groups of competitors in recent years: high-tech, high-end competitors in countries such as Germany and the United States, and low-end producers in places like China, Bangladesh and Turkey.
ITEMA, an Italian privately-held multinational Company and leading player in the textile industry, providing best-in-class weaving machines for over 60 years will open the doors of its new offices and assembly plant in Shanghai. It will be a new milestone for the Company in China, one of its most important markets and a country with a strong potential for continued growth.
