Italian textile machinery manufacturers are set to showcase their innovations at Colombiatex, Colombia's leading premier textile fair, taking place in Medellín from January 28 to 30, 2025. With 23 companies participating, this highlights the enduring partnership between Italian technology providers and Colombian textile businesses.
Despite a decline in demand for textile machinery in Colombia during the first nine months of 2024, the country remains a key market in the region. Italy ranked as Colombia's second-largest supplier in 2023, with exports valued at €13 million, while sales reached €8 million in the first nine months of 2024.
“The Colombian textile and clothing industry has grown significantly in recent years, driven by technological advancements where Italian machinery has played a crucial role,” said Marco Salvade, President of ACIMIT. “Colombiatex is an essential platform for strengthening partnerships with Colombian companies.”
The Italian pavilion, organized by the Italian Trade Agency and ACIMIT, will showcase leading manufacturers, including Biancalani, Fadis, Reggiani Macchine, Santoni, and Tonello. These exhibitors represent Italy's innovation in textile technology and its commitment to supporting the growth of the Colombian textile industry.
Colombiatex 2025 promises to be a vital opportunity to deepen collaborations and highlight Italy’s advanced solutions for the textile sector.
