There will be 23 Italian textile machinery companies present at the next Colombiatex, the main Colombian textile fair, which will take place in Medellin from 28 to 30 January 2025, confirming also in this edition the close link existing between local textile companies and Italian suppliers of textile technology.
Although demand for textile machinery from the Colombian textile sector decreased in the first nine months of 2024, the South American country remains one of the main markets in the area for textile machinery manufacturers. In particular, Italy in 2023 was the second technology supplier behind China, with an export value of approximately 13 million euros. In the first nine months of 2024, Italian sales in Colombia reached 8 million euros.
The Colombian textile and clothing industry has seen strong growth in recent years, also supported by a technological upgrading that has often seen Italian machinery as protagonists, comments Marco Salvadè, president of ACIMIT. For many of our companies, therefore, Colombiatex remains an unmissable event in the international trade fair calendar to strengthen the partnership with Colombian textile companies” .
