Dear Customers, Partners, Friends,
ITMA is, no doubt, the main stage for worldwide textile industry companies to showcase their product portfolio, to meet Customers and to build relations. It is the place where visitors expect to see the latest innovations developed in textile machinery. And, as Itema, we worked in order not to disappoint this expectation. We take innovation seriously, we truly believe that constantly innovating is the only key to succeed in today’s fast-changing and demanding market. And, as I like to say, innovation sometimes means finding out a new solution that the end-user didn’t even know he needed. Hence, at Itema we are hungry and never enough satisfied to provide the weavers with the most advanced weaving technology to improve their production results, their fabric quality, their competitive advantage and also their working lives. If you think that we already did a lot in the past, I am sure you will be amazed by what we will exhibit during ITMA 2019.
As Itema Group at ITMA 2019 we will feature 3 stands and 11 weaving machines, plus more in partner’s booths.
Seven will be the machines displayed in the Itema booth, including absolute new market launches and truly innovative new weaving features.
In the Itematech stand – the new entry of the group merging Itema and Panter know-how in technical fabrics weaving -, the focus will be on technical textiles with 4 weaving machines on display to demonstrate the most comprehensive product portfolio in the market to weave the widest range of technical fabrics.
Last but not least, Lamiflex – the leading supplier of technical composite products of whose Itema acquired majority stakes in 2017 – will also be present at ITMA with its ample catalogue of key rapier weft transfer components.
ITMA 2019 will also be the absolute world-premiere of what we named a while back “The Loom of the Future”. The brand-new Itema Discovery, this is its birth name, comes to the world to demonstrate Itema’s mission to tirelessly work to innovate the weaving industry. The Itema Discovery will be shown at ITMA as a concept and I am sure it will take center stage in the whole exhibition.
Innovation, customer centricity, tangible concrete solutions. These are the core added values that Itema provides to its Customers. We know very well that weaving is not a game for kids. We are structured and organized to provide a flexible, real-time support to our worldwide Customers, through our branches and our agencies networks.
At Itema we never stop at doing things well, we always strive to do them better.
Choosing Itema you get by your side a partner focused on effective innovations, capable to develop tailor-made solutions to meet even the most demanding requirements and that always looks forward to improving its weaving solutions to help weavers in gathering tangible and measurable advantages.
Feel the Future is not only our motto, is our promise to the market.
Sincerely,
Ing. Carlo Rogora
Itema Group CEO
