ACIMIT (Association of Italian Textile Machinery Manufacturers) is a private national body that groups most of the Italian textile machinery companies, whose production represents 82% of the entire Italian textile machinery production and some associated members (consortia, technical schools, technical magazines, research centres).
The Association main purpose consists in promoting the Italian textile machinery sector and in supporting its activity, mainly abroad, through the most updated and innovative promotional means, constantly improved during its about 80 years of life, e.g. organizing exhibitions, technical seminars, missions in Italy and abroad, etc., mostly in collaboration with Italian Trade Agency.
If you need more information about the Italian textile machinery industry, please contact us. We shall be pleased to answer you in a very short time.

Italy is a leading producer of textile machinery in the world and the technological level of its production is considered to be one of the highest standard by its competitors themselves.
ACIMIT Members are world leaders in making machinery for the textile sector.
ACIMIT gathers Italian textile machinery companies producing more than 82% of the Italian textile machinery production, 86% of which exported in about 130 countries.
Italian textile machinery manufacturers meet the full spectrum of the industry needs (spinning, weaving, need, with highly specialized products. Creativity, Sustainable Technology, Reliability and Quality are the main features of the textile machinery made in Italy.
The textile machinery industry requires great investments in research, deep know-how, long experience
The supply of Italian textile machinery is characterised by a wide and complete range:
- pre-spinning and spinning machinery
- twisting, reeling, winding machinery
- pre-weaving and weaving machinery
- laundry dry-cleaning and ironing machinery
Growing attention is dedicated by the Italian companies to the manufacture of machinery for technical
Italian textile machinery - export by categories – 2022
the reasons for our success
The main characteristics of Italian machinery are:
- advanced technological level
- reliability and problem-free operation
- close and continuous relationship with the textile and clothing industry
ITMA has been the world’s most established textile and garment machinery exhibition since 1951. Over the years, it has been a catalyst for change and competitiveness for the industry. The drive towards sustainability in the entire textile and garment value chain is increasingly integrated with enlightened business practices, and innovative technology holds the key to environmental sustainability.
ITMA 2023: 398 Italian companies (25% of the total exhibitors, +9% compared to the last edition of ITMA Barcelona 2019) for a surface of 35,758 sq.mts. (30% of the total area, +20% compared to the last edition of ITMA Barcelona 2019). (update on February 23rd, 2023).
Since 2008, a combined show known as ITMA ASIA + CITME has been held in China, scheduled to take place every two years. It is a large showcase of innovative solutions for textile makers that supports of all the major trade associations. More than 1,300 exhibitors take part in the show, which is visited by 100,000 trade visitors from all sectors of the global textile industry.
Through ITMA and ITMA ASIA + CITME, Italian textile machinery manufacturers display the excellence of their production. ACIMIT SERVIZI, ACIMIT’s sister company, provides a reference point for Italian manufacturers taking part in ITMA and/or ITMA ASIA + CITME.
In 2001, ACIMIT decided to entrust to a group of technical professors the task to draw up istitutional schoolbooks (named “Quaderni”) illustrating the technologies of the main sectors of the textile machinery industry. In recent years, ACIMIT has thus completed a total of 6 reference textbooks for schools on the fabrics. The success of these publications has also convinced ACIMIT of the opportunity to provide a translation in English, Chinese, Arabic and Mongolian so as to be able to distribute them in countries, schools and universities with a vocation for the textile industry.
Sustainable Technologies for Textile = low energy consumption + low emissions + low production costs = Italian
Italian textile machinery manufacturers play a major role in promoting new trends linked to green technologies in their manufacturing sector.
and social sustainability
promote key sustainability issues for the textile industry.
