Itema strategically strengthens position in Indonesia

Mr. Fulvio Carlo Toma, Itema’s Group Sales & Marketing Director said on the occasion of signing the agreement: “Itema works relentlessly to provide the best tailored solutions, as well as effective and efficient services to Customers worldwide. We are convinced that the long-standing record of professionalism, reliability and expertise in the textile industry that distinguish Illies & Co. will help further reinforce Itema’s presence in Indonesia, as well as allow us to respond quickly and effectively to our Customers requirements in what we consider as one of the most strategically important markets.”

The new set up in Indonesia is in line with the Company’s strategy to build up a stronger presence in important weaving markets throughout Asia Pacific with the creation of a new dedicated Regional Hub based out of Hong Kong.  In a move to enhance local presence and increase efficiency when serving the Company’s sizeable APAC Customer base, representing an increasingly important part of Itema’s global turnover, Itema already relocated Cristiano Capitanio, Regional Head of Sales, to the Hong Kong hub and allocated resources focused on after-sales service and marketing related activities.

“Indonesia is for Itema a key market in Asia Pacific and the Company is deeply committed to provide, besides the best weaving machines in the playground, the most accurate and dedicated service. PT Illies Engineering Indonesia, with its experience and tradition in the Asian textile markets, is excellently positioned to carry out our mission with dedication and devotion,” added Mr. Toma.

Mr. Michael Hennig, Managing Director Asia Pacific of Illies declared “Our Company has a long-standing know-how about the Asian textile market and we work with the top industry player of the sector to develop and take care of their business in the region. Our Indonesia branch is honored to count among its suppliers Itema and we are confident that together we will build a successful and strong partnership with the goal to satisfy the needs of the valuable Indonesian weavers.”
