Italy’s textile machinery manufacturers who presented at a Chinese technology symposium on technical textiles and nonwovens, saw a great number of attendees, according to the show’s organisers  ICE, the Italian Trade Agency, and ACIMIT, the Association of Italian Textile Machinery Manufacturers.

The event, held in Guangzhou on 10 October, saw the participation of about 70 Chinese textile manufacturers and roughly 100 local operators.

Nonwovens sector

While confirming its high concentration of businesses active in the traditional textile industry, the province of Guandong has also developed itsnonwovens sector, especially products for the medical, personal hygiene and building sectors. About 700 manufacturers are currently operating in this sector in the province.

“We’re especially satisfied for having organised this event in Guangzhou,” commented ACIMIT. “A great many manufacturers based in the province of Guandong already operate in the niche sectors touched on by the symposium, and their numbers are growing rapidly.”

“This initial approach was therefore extremely important in allowing local businesses to become acquainted with the validity of Italian technology, even in the field of nonwovens and industrial textiles.”

At the event

Following the ritual salutations by representatives of the Italian delegation and local associations, such as Guandong Province Textile Association and Guandong Nonwovens Association, who collaborated in the event’s success, five Italian producers (Biancalani, Dell’Orco & Villani, Itema, Loptex, Roj) had the opportunity to showcase their technological offer and develop contacts with local manufacturers who took part in the event through B2B meetings.
