Italian textile machinery at Techtextil North America 2025

A significant delegation of Italian textile machinery manufacturers will participate in Techtextil North America, the trade fair set to take place in Atlanta, Georgia, from May 6 to May 8. ACIMIT, the Association of Italian Textile Machinery Manufacturers, together with Italian Trade Agency, has organized a dedicated exhibition area, where 21 Italian manufacturers will showcase their latest innovations.


The ACIMIT member companies exhibiting in the Italian pavilion include: 4M Plants, Bianco, Bonino, Color Service, Fadis, Flainox, Ima, Marzoli, Monti Antonio, Monti-Mac, Omr, Ramatex, Ramina, Reggiani Macchine, Siltex, Simet, Stalam, Tecnorama, Unitech, Zanfrini, Zappa.

The U.S. textile industry remains one of the most significant sectors within American manufacturing, with annual sales exceeding 64 billion USD and a workforce of over 500,000 employees. U.S. textile companies are among the leading investors in technology, as evidenced by the value of U.S. textile machinery imports, which amounted to approximately 1 billion USD in 2024.

For Italian manufacturers, the U.S. market ranks as the fourth largest export destination after China, Turkey, and India. In 2024, Italian exports to the United States reached 112 million euro, remaining stable compared to the previous year. “The 2025 edition of Techtextil North America,” commented Marco Salvadè, President of ACIMIT, “comes at a time of economic uncertainty for the global textile machinery industry. However, the increased number of Italian companies attending the fair, compared to recent editions, reflects a cautious optimism regarding the development of projects within the U.S. textile sector.”
