The Association of Italian Textile Machinery Manufacturers (ACIMIT) and the Italian Trade Commission (ICE) organize, in partnership with the Nonwovens Institute of North Carolina State University, a technical workshop dedicated to Italian technology for the nonwovens and technical textile industries. The event will be held in Raleigh (November 11th and 12th, 2009) at North Carolina State University.

ACIMIT estimates that about 100 of its member companies are involved in the production of machinery for technical textiles or nonwovens. This sector is observing steadily growing turnover, accounting for 10% on the total turnover of Italian textile machinery industry.

The Italian participants at workshop in Raleigh are only part of the Italian supply for this sector. To find out ideal technological partner, textile operators are invited to visit ACIMIT website (www.acimit.it), where ACIMIT’s associate members operating in this sector are listed.

ACIMIT gathers Italian textile machinery companies producing more than 80% of the entire Italian textile machinery production, and some associated members (consortia, technical schools, technical magazines, research centres).
