Italian technology is showcasing the high level of innovation at the ITMA Asia + CITME 2014 that is now taking place in Shanghai. The textile industry needs machinery that allow for the production of creative, quality yarns and fabrics, while reducing the environmental impact of its production processes.
ACIMIT, the Association of Textile Machinery Manufacturers had launched four years ago Sustainable technologies project which has achieved success with 40 Italian manufacturers adhering to the project and 530 green labels issued since 2011.
It has been years now that Italian textile machinery companies have been researching and experimenting with technology solutions capable of reducing water and energy consumption, cutting on the use of chemicals, and producing less waste and fewer emissions. The results obtained confirm that maximizing research and innovation is the right strategy.
In 2014 ACIMIT the Green Guide lists the technology innovations that allow machine users to cut production costs while adopting environmentally friendly measures for the companies adhering to the Sustainable Technologies project. A Chinese version of the guide is being distributed at ITMA Asia in Shanghai.
Italy, with its high-tech and eco-friendly manufactures, is one of the most important players in the textile machinery industry. Italian high quality machines will also foster China textile industry’s quality and will provide environmental conservation.
In Easter China that is the area of competence of ICE Shanghai there are the top three provinces for textile and garment industry: Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Fujian, that along with the provinces Guangdong and Shandong reach around 80% of the industry’s production capability and Italy remains one of the leading suppliers of textile machinery in China. Its machines are strong for preparing especially textile fibres and yarns, machines for cleaning, dyeing and finishing, machines, knitting, stitch-bond, lace and auxiliary machinery for use with textile machines.
ITMA Asia is the most important trade show in Asia for textile machinery companies and their customers as it shows concrete commitment to environmental issues.
