A textile machinery Roadshow in Iran being organized by the Italian Trade Agency supported by the Ministry of Economic Development where a total of 26 Italian textile machinery manufacturers of which 23 are ACIMIT associated members will be taking part.
The Roadshow in Iran will kick off on 22 May, and until 30 May. There will be a series of technology symposia programmed in some of the Country’s major cities (Teheran, Yazd, Isfahan, Mashad).
This mission will allow Iranian textile manufacturers to measure their knowhow with some of Italy’s primary producers of textile machinery, and become acquainted with the most up-to-date solutions for the different steps involved in the textile production process.
In recent years, international sanctions have delayed the modernization process required for local industry to continue to be competitive in a global context, said Raffaella Carabelli, President of ACIMIT.
The gradual elimination of international sanctions will allow Italy’s textile machinery industry to recover market shares lost in recent years.
In 2004, Iran was ranked among the top ten markets for Italian exports in the sector. While, in 2015, Italian exports towards Iran amounted to 8 million euros.
Iranian demand is spread out over all types of production, but Italian finishing and spinning machines are the primary exports.
After years of complete stagnation, Italian textile machinery businesses have begun to do steady business in Iran and the Roadshow being organized will contribute to allowing them to recoup lost time.
