"ITMA ASIA was first launched in 2001 in Singapore. This year, the exhibition space for the event is 25 per cent bigger than the first show four years ago, and it will be the first event at Singapore Expo that covers seven halls," she added.

Tetsuro Toyoda, President of Japan Textile Machinery Association (JTMA), Chairman of Toyota Industries Corporation, and exhibitor at ITMA ASIA 2005 said, "When we survey the Asian market, China's demand for textile machinery remains very strong and its investments in the textile industry have been extremely significant. In addition, further growth is expected in India and Pakistan and emerging players are fast entering the market from other Asian countries such as Indonesia, Thailand and Malaysia. All these factors contribute to the growth of the textile industry in Asia."

“With so many new developments in the industry, it is essential for us as a machine manufacturer to participate in ITMA ASIA 2005, where numerous visitors from Asian countries are able to meet and exchange ideas. We aim to make an impact on the textile industry in Asia by unveiling the latest technology in textile machinery and helping to enhance the overall quality and efficiency of textile production,” added Mr Toyoda.

Jan Roettgering, Chief Commercial Officer of Saurer Textile Solutions, said, “The removal of the textile quotas has given rise to new challenges in the already competitive market. Textile manufacturing, being the driving force for many Asian economies, urgently needs a platform which provides industry players with new ideas and opportunities. We see ITMA ASIA as THE avenue for all players in the textile world to converge. It will be a fabulous opportunity for us to showcase our latest technology and range of solutions; and for manufacturers to acquire and upgrade their manufacturing facilities.”
