At the INDO Intertex 2018, the 16th Indonesia international textile and garment machinery and accessories expo, specialised in textile industry and textile products (ITPT), which will take place from April 4 to 7, 2018, Members of ACIMIT, the Association of Italian Textile Machinery Manufacturers will partake at the event.
A total of 13 Italian machinery manufacturers will be on hand in the common exhibition area set up by the Italian Trade Agency and ACIMIT. ACIMIT associated members exhibiting in the Italian area include associated members Bonino, Busi, Caipo, Cognetex, Lgl, Mcs, Ms Printing Solutions, Red Carpet, Santex Rimar Group, Sei Laser, Sicam, and Ugolini.
Italy’s participation at Indo Intertex is part of an intensive program of trade initiatives aimed at promoting the Italian textile machinery industry in Indonesia. In addition to participating in previous editions of Indo Intertex, recent activities carried out in partnership with the Italian Trade Agency include various technology symposia at major Indonesian districts and a variety of incoming missions in Italy by Indonesia’s textile operators.
The textile industry is a major driving force for Indonesia’s national economy. In recent years, the local government has thus supported a widespread modernisation program of existing technology, allowing for increased exports in the garment industry, and making Indonesia the 8th largest exporter in this sector worldwide, according to the latest data from the World Trade Organisation.
Italy’s textile machinery sector has also benefitted from this increased demand in cutting edge technology on the part of textile manufacturers.
Alessandro Zucchi, president of ACIMIT said that over the past few years, Indonesia has represented one of the primary markets in Asia for their machinery manufacturers with roughly €25 million worth of Italian machinery sold over the first nine months of 2017, a 19 percent increase over the same period for 2016.
The Indo Intertex will take place on 4 days from Wednesday, 04. April to Saturday, 07. April 2018 at the Jakarta international expo Kemayoran in Jakarta, Indonesia.
