ITMA 2023 has been a great expo for the French exhibitors.Christian Guinet,UCMTF’s Secretary General points out“R&D is embedded in our members’strategy,but for this ITMA they have secured more budgets than ever.The objectives are ambitious:breaking innovative technologies to offer their customers the opportunity to develop new products,process them in a secure,economical and environment friendly way.Raw materials,energy and water savings are top priorities for our customers both because it is an end market demand and to cut costs.Digitalization and artificial intelligence are essential tools to move into these directions.At ITMA,I was proud to meet so many customers including quite a number of French textile manufacturers as it is a great asset to get an active domestic market.The statistics I just received show that the French visitors were the 5th largest group”.
