a portrait
The textile machinery industry requires great investments
in research, deep know-how, long experience in textile, mechanic
and electronic fields. Therefore countries having a first class
production are few.
Italy is today the second producer of textile machinery in the world
and the technological level of its production is considered of the
highest standard by the competitors themselves.
In 2009, the production of Italian textile machinery amounted to
1.9 billion of Euro, 78% of which (worth 1.5 billion Euro) exported
in about 130 countries.
Asia (50%) is the main export area, followed by Europe (31%), South
America (8%), Africa (6%) and North America (5%).

a complete production range
The supply of Italian textile machinery is characterised by a wide
and complete range:
| - pre-spinning and spinning machinery |
- knitting and hosiery machinery |
| - twisting, reeling, winding machinery |
- dyeing, printing and finishing machinery |
| - pre-weaving and weaving machinery |
- laundry dry-cleaning and ironing machinery |
Italian machines are studied to process all natural fibres (wool,
cotton, silk, flax, etc.) as well as man-made fibres (polyester,
acrylic, polyamides, etc.) in order to give a correct answer to
all requests of a modern textile industry.
Growing attention is dedicated by the Italian Companies to the manufacture
of machinery for textile technicals production.
the reasons for our success
There are about 300 Italian manufacturers of textile machinery emploing
13,900 workers.
They are located in areas and towns of ancient textile tradition,
where a profitable exchange of experiences with the end-users is
a stimulating contribution to the improvement of the machines.
These towns are located in Northern and Central Italy, like Biella,
Como, Milano, Bergamo, Brescia, Prato, Vicenza.
Thanks to the large number of manufacturers, nearly every type of
machines can be supplied by more than one producer: therefore clients
can easily find the items more suitable to their requirements.
The main characteristics of Italian machinery are:
- advanced technological level
- flexibility and versatility
- excellent quality/price ratio
- reliability and problem-free operation
- close and continuous relationship with the textile and clothing
industry
Besides, research on safety and environment is constantly carried
out in order to propose solutions keeping the pace with European
and International regulations.
