Italian textile machinery manufacturers

The textile machinery industry requires great investments in research, deep know-how, long experience in textile, mechanic and electronic fields. Italy is today ranked as the second largest producer of textile machinery in the world and the technological level of its production is considered of the highest standard even by its competitors themselves. In 2008, the production of Italian textile machinery amounted to 2.0 billion Euro, 79% of which (worth 1.6 billion Euro) exported to about 130 countries. Asia (43%) is the main export area, followed by Europe (34%), South America (11%), Africa (7%) and North America (5%). Some of machinery manufacturers are highlighted here for the interest of our readers. Amina Baqai. Ed.

Flainox is a well known name in dyeing, finishing and machinery construction, since 1968.

Their range of manufacturing includes machines for following applications:

They are specialized in construction of rotary dye-extractors for dyeing garments and seamless articles made of cotton and polyamide (i.e. body-size, underwear, swimwear, aerobic, sportswear, etc.) with final hydro-extraction of the NRP series.

Rotary dye-extractors for garments, socks and seamless of the ARC, NRP and EVO-2 series – atmospherical and high temperature – high pressure versions.

From the strictly technical point of view, there have been considerable development with regard to new solutions regarding conventional machines, as well as the success obtained with the machine for the special finishes of fabrics in rope types.
