The partecipation of Italian textile machinery manufacturers at CITME 2006 has been coordinated by ACIMIT and ICE (Italian Trade Commission), through its office in Beijing and its headoffice in Rome.
CITME 2006 will also provide a backdrop for the official launching of the new ITMA Asia + CITME 2008, scheduled from July 27 to 31, 2008 in Shanghai, and thereafter every two years.
ACIMIT has already expressed its broad satisfaction with the cooperation agreement reached for ITMA Asia among CEMATEX (the European Committee of Textile Machinery Manufacturers), CTMA (China Textile Machinery Association), CCPIT-Tex (Sub Council of Textile Industry, China Council for the Promotion of International Trade) and CIEC (China Exhibition Centre Group Corporation).
“The arrival to the Chinese market of the ITMA brand”, commented Dr. Paolo Banfi, President of ACIMIT and Managing Director of Comez, “should be considered a positive note providing a further boost for many textile machinery manufacturers. The partnership with CITME provides added value to the operation. We are confident that the first edition of ITMA Asia + CITME in 2008 will be a resounding success.”
A similar degree of satisfaction comes from the comments of some important Italian textile machinery manufacturers who will be present next October at CITME 2006.
Dr. Daniele Pellissetti of Savio Macchine Tessili - Itema Group - confirms his satisfaction with the agreement: “We are all very well aware of ITMA's attraction and appeal for textile manufacturers. The shift in location to Shanghai, the two-year scheduling and agreement reached with a recognised event such as CITME is good news for exhibitors who are planning to be in Shanghai in 2008.”
