The Association of Italian Textile Machinery Manufacturers (ACIMIT) plans to conduct a seminar for Russian manufacturers to share information about the Italian textile machinery technology. Around 13 Italian companies will participate in the technology seminar, including ACIMIT associate members such as Aigle, Bellini, Bianco, Color Service, Ferraro, Itema, Marzoli, Savio and SSM Giudici. The seminar is being organized at a time when Russian authorities have initiated pilot projects designed to modernise existing technology and enhance the offering of products available in the local market. The seminar would provide a platform to both the countries to further reinforce their existing relations between Russian textile producers and Italian technology suppliers.
It may be recalled that ACIMIT had recently published the second edition of Green Guide which gives a summary of the actions taken by Italian textile machinery firms in the field of sustainability, in terms of savings resources used during the textile production process. ACIMIT represents an industrial sector comprising around 300 companies and producing machinery to an overall value of €2.3 billion, with exports amounting to 84 per cent of total sales. To promote the Italian textile machinery knowledge throughout the world, ACIMIT organizes a wide range of promotional activities such as exhibitions, technical seminars, missions in Italy and abroad, and so on in collaboration with ICE (Italian Trade Commission).
