The Textile Machinery in Italy
Italy is one of the world's leading producers and exporters of textile machinery. Approximately 300 Italian companies produce textile machines and related accessories, employing over 12,000 people and generating a turnover worth 2 billion euro. Italian manufacturers meet the full spectrum of industry needs (spinning, weaving, knitting and finishing machines). They are well appreciated for their commitment in the sustainable technologies and in the production of equipment for the most innovative niche markets (technical textiles, nonwovens). Leading textile and clothing companies around the world rely on the quality of Italian high-tech machinery.
