1 Italian Textile Machinery will be presented at two technological seminars in Pakistan ACIMIT represents an industrial sector comprising roughly 300 companies employing about 13,000 people, which produces machinery for an overall value of 2.3 billion Euros. The quality of the Italian textile technology is testified by the high number of countries where the Italian machinery are sold. Exports represent 79% of total sales. Creativity, technology, reliability and quality are the characteristics that have made Italian machinery products proven leaders throughout the world. The Italian Trade Commission (I.C.E.) and ACIMIT, the Association of Italian Textile Machinery Manufacturers, will organize two technological seminars along with 8 Italian textile machinery manufacturers. These two events will take place in Karachi and Lahore on 15 th and 17 th March respectively.

2 ACIMIT and ICE expect record attendance at two technological seminars in Pakistan Pakistan Textile Journal welcomes ACIMIT members to Karachi and Lahore and pleased to present a preview and highlights of the upcoming seminar for the interest of our readers. These eight leading Italian manufacturers of textile machinery namely: Comez Gestioni, Corino Macchine, Jaeggli Meccanotessile, Loris Bellini, Mario Crosta, Reggiani Macchine, Roj and Simet are industry leaders in their respective field and some of their key machines and product developments are given here for our valued readers. The Italian Trade Commissioner, Antonio Avallone said, Pakistan is one of the key markets for the Italian textile machinery in all sectors. The latest statistics on the exports of Italian textile machinery to Pakistan are most encouraging. From January to October 2010, textile machinery from Italy worth Euro 35.5 million was imported by Pakistan. This investment is taking place mainly for the up-gradation of the existing capacity, and puts Pakistan after China and India as a major destination of Italian textile Antonio Avallone, ICE Karachi machinery in Asia.
