From September 11 to 14, the CAITME 2023 trade fair in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, will feature a strong presence of VDMA member companies. Around 25 VDMA members will participate, with 13 of them exhibiting within the official German Pavilion, organized by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action.
These companies, including Bruckner Textile Technologies, Groz-Beckert, Karl Mayer Stoll, and Oerlikon Textile, will present cutting-edge technologies, focusing on sustainability and digitisation in textile production.
In 2023, Germany exported textile machinery and accessories worth €85 million to Uzbekistan, making it the second-largest supplier to the Uzbek textile sector after China. Uzbekistan, a leading cotton producer, has a fully integrated production chain, with significant investments in expanding fabric making, finishing, and dyeing capacities.
Harald Weber, Managing Director of the VDMA Textile Machinery Association, emphasized the importance of technological advancement, stating that CAITME offers a prime opportunity to strengthen collaboration with Uzbekistan’s textile industry.
