As in previous editions, an Italian contingent of companies will be exhibiting at Techtextil Russia 2019 in Moscow from March 19th to 22nd.
ACIMIT (the Association of Italian Textile Machinery Manufacturers) and the Italian Trade Agency for the promotion and internationalization of Italian companies, will both be on hand with an institutional stand (Hall Forum, booth FC 140) to provide visitors with all the necessary information related to the latest Italian textile technology.
“The Russian market for textile machinery is developing rapidly,” commented Alessandro Zucchi, President of ACIMIT. “The local textile industry is investing in new machinery, in part due to the willingness of the competent authorities to replace imports of textile products with local production.”
Italian machinery manufacturers are among the primary technology suppliers for the Russian market. In 2017, Italy’s textile machinery exports to Russia amounted to 20 million euro, rising to 27 million euro for the first ten months of 2018, an 84% increase compared to the same period of 2017.
Zucchi concludes, “The ACIMIT/ITA institutional stand confirms that even in a year full of trade fair events, among which ITMA Barcelona stands out, there’s still a willingness on the part of our association and associated members to strengthen an already fruitful relationship with Russian textile manufacturers.”
