The versatility of the Italian technological supply allows, in fact, Made in Italy machinery to be used in different application fields of technical textiles, meeting the different requests by the many visitors attending the event".
In the 2022 edition, the focus of Techtextil will be on sustainability, which is another strong point of Italian textile machinery.
