French Textile Machinery at ITMA 2011
French Textile Machinery at ITMA 2011 France is the 6th textile machinery exporter worldwide and together the 35 manufacturers report annual exports exceeding 1 billion Euros (1.4 Billion USD). This special report by UCMTF highlights the French Textile Machinery Technology at ITMA Barcelona. This major textile machinery show takes place every four years is the only textile machinery show where so many machines are erected and many of them really work. “It is the place for innovation and a unique opportunity to meet so many people, to see so many machines in what I call the biggest textile factory worldwide”, states Evelyne CHOLET, UCMTF’s Secretary General. All the textile processes will be represented: spinning, weaving, knitting (circular and flat), dyeing and finishing, nonwovens, apparel manufacturing. Fibers producers and research centers and universities will be there for the first time. The French manufacturers have put a lot of emphasis to prepare this event. They will present their “High Tech, energy saving machinery for high quality markets” summarizes UCMTF’s Chairman Bruno AMELINE, who adds “ in France we do not have big diversified groups but state of the art, very active and specialized SME’S leaders in their sectors of application. They are doing very well and look to the future with great expectations.” FIL CONTROL (H1 - B 145) The main products are yarn sensors and yarn cutters, devices used for checking yarn presence or yarn quality control. Fil control MPS Devices are devoted to processing machines: yarn assembling, yarn spinning, texturing, covering, twisting, to control the yarn.
