The Belgian textile technology industry is set to participate in the seventh edition of ITMA Asia + CITME, which will be held from June 12-16, 2021, in Shanghai. It will be held over six halls with a gross exhibition space of 170,000 square metres. Major Belgian exhibitors participating include Picanol, Vandewiele, BMSvision, Bonas, and Hammer-IMS.
“The trade show represents an important platform to help us connect with the Asian buyers at a time when the global economy is improving. ITMA Asia + CITME is, without doubt, the most important trade show for the textile industry in Asia. As China is one of the most important markets for textile machines, it gives us the ideal opportunity to be closer to our customers,” Luc Tack, CEO of Picanol and president of Symatex, the Belgian Textile Machinery Association, said in a Symatex press release.The Belgian textile technology industry is set to participate in the seventh edition of ITMA Asia + CITME, which will be held from June 12-16, 2021, in Shanghai.

Symatex, managed by Agoria (the Belgian federation of the technology industry), is active in both the economic and technical areas to support its members. The ITMA Asia + CITME 2020 visitors will have the privileged opportunity to find out about the latest innovations, Symatex said.
“Our Belgian companies are eager to resume their international marketing and sales efforts. The positive economic growth is excellent news for the industry, recovery will take some time but we fully embrace opportunities like ITMA Asia + CITME 2020 to accelerate the commercial re-launch. Our Belgian exhibitors are certainly gearing up for a strong showcase in Shanghai,” Stijn Pauwels, secretary general of Symatex said.
As offering the most performing technology is the key to customer success, the Belgian machinery industry is strongly R&D driven, and is one of the nation’s biggest investor in R&D. It invests 8 per cent of its added value in R&D and employs over 11 per cent of the total Belgian manufacturing industry research head count. The industry accelerated its research efforts on energy efficiency in the last decade and achieved an average energy consumption reduction for its products of 18 per cent. The long term strategy directs the Belgian machinery industry towards continuous strategic and open innovation to accelerate its product development pace and to provide its customers with cutting edge technology.
