Vietnam’s textile sector is already a major buyer of Italian textile machine technology among Asian markets. Over the first six months of 2014, Italy exported 14 million euros’ worth of textile machinery to Vietnam (+159% over the same period for 2013), confirming the growth trend in recent few years.

“Vietnam represents one of the most promising markets of the future for our companies,” confirms ACIMIT’s President Raffaella Carabelli.“The local authorities have invested in the textile and garments industry, and are very much aware of the added value that Italian technology can bring to their production. The meetings held over the past few days with local counterparts confirm this.”
