意大利企業(yè)正在積極恢復(fù)生產(chǎn)和出口

意大利紡織行業(yè)在2020年遭遇了全球范圍內(nèi)的大幅下滑。因此，機(jī)械方面的投資也下降了。對(duì)意大利紡織機(jī)械公司來說，2020年意大利市場(chǎng)的訂單量同比下降30%。像其他歐洲的國家一樣，意大利疫情距離正?；€有很長的路程需要走。希望疫苗接種計(jì)劃的啟動(dòng)可以使感染人數(shù)得到控制。在經(jīng)歷了非常艱難的2020年后，意大利紡織機(jī)械行業(yè)也已經(jīng)恢復(fù)生產(chǎn)和出口。只有在經(jīng)營者們能夠再次自由行動(dòng)、重新參加貿(mào)易展覽會(huì)，真正的復(fù)蘇才將開始。

盡管新冠肺炎疫情大流行，但意大利制造商仍在繼續(xù)投資研發(fā)，為客戶提供技術(shù)先進(jìn)的解決方案，不斷降低生產(chǎn)成本的同時(shí)確保成品質(zhì)量。意大利紡織機(jī)械行業(yè)多年來一直致力于為客戶提供環(huán)境和經(jīng)濟(jì)方面的可持續(xù)解決方案。自2010年以來，我們同一些成員公司共同開發(fā)了可持續(xù)技術(shù)項(xiàng)目，表明了意大利致力于生產(chǎn)對(duì)環(huán)境、原材料、化學(xué)品、水和能源有更多關(guān)注的機(jī)械。生產(chǎn)過程的數(shù)字化，以及紡織企業(yè)機(jī)械和生產(chǎn)系統(tǒng)之間的緊密聯(lián)系也是意大利制造商最為關(guān)注的主題。最近我們也發(fā)起了一個(gè)項(xiàng)目，目的是確定一種數(shù)字認(rèn)證形式，使成員公司可以認(rèn)證其機(jī)器是否易于集成到客戶的生產(chǎn)系統(tǒng)中。

可靠、通用和優(yōu)秀的性價(jià)比一直是意大利紡織機(jī)械的特點(diǎn)。通過對(duì)不同類型機(jī)器的出口數(shù)據(jù)分析可得，我們的出口遍及100多個(gè)國家，涉及紡織生產(chǎn)鏈從紡紗到織造，從針織到整理的所有生產(chǎn)環(huán)節(jié)。其中，亞洲市場(chǎng)是意大利出口的主要目的地。土耳其、中國和印度是意大利銷售的主要市場(chǎng)。截至3月底，共有65家意大利展商參加本次展會(huì)，展出面積達(dá)3200平方米。其中有21家展出公司將參加國際展區(qū)。

亞洲是主要的紡織品生產(chǎn)中心，中國是主要的紡織服裝生產(chǎn)國和出口國，并且在未來的幾年還會(huì)一直保持這一地位。但是整個(gè)亞洲地區(qū)正在快速發(fā)展，孟加拉國、越南和巴基斯坦等國也是全球紡織機(jī)械的重要市場(chǎng)。ITMA ASIA + CITME是亞洲市場(chǎng)的主要展會(huì)，并在2021年6月，屆時(shí)全球疫苗接種情況較為樂觀的時(shí)候舉行，不過國際上對(duì)跨境旅行的嚴(yán)格限制還是影響了許多參展商參加的決定。

紡織工業(yè)的未來是光明的。面對(duì)2020年這樣困難的時(shí)期，對(duì)于紡機(jī)企業(yè)來說，為了增強(qiáng)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)優(yōu)勢(shì)，利用技術(shù)進(jìn)步來支持自己的產(chǎn)品創(chuàng)新及降低成本將變得越來越重要。紡織品的需求將會(huì)隨著全球經(jīng)濟(jì)的增長而增長。如何充分利用日益稀缺的資源對(duì)我們來說是一個(gè)很大的挑戰(zhàn)。因此，產(chǎn)品必須向可持續(xù)、可回收，使用更少資源的方向發(fā)展。為了實(shí)現(xiàn)這些目標(biāo)，我們必須走紡織機(jī)械創(chuàng)新之路。

Italian enterprises positive to recovering production and export

Interview with Alessandro Zucchi， President of ACIMIT

The Italian textile sector has suffered a sharp decline in 2020 as happened worldwide. Consequently， investments in machinery have also fallen. For Italian textile machinery companies the drop in orders intake for the Italian market in 2020 was 30% compared to the previous year. Italy， like other European countries， is still far from a return to normality. I hope that the start of a national vaccination plan will bring under control the number of new infections. In the meantime， the Italian textile machinery industry， after a very difficult 2020， has resumed production and exports. A real recovery can only take place when the operators in the sector can once again move freely and the trade fairs return to being in attendance.

Italian manufacturers， despite the COVID-19 pandemic， have continued to invest in R&D， providing their customers with technologically advanced solutions， with the aim of constantly reducing production costs while ensuring the quality of the finished products. The Italian textile machinery sector has been committed for years to providing its customers with sustainable solutions in both environmental and economic terms. It is enough to think that since 2010 ACIMIT and some member companies have realized the Sustainable Technologies project， which testifies the Italian commitment to produce machinery more attentive to their environmental impact and to the use of raw materials， chemicals， water and energy. The digitization of production processes with a strong interconnection between machines and production systems of textile companies is also a theme to which Italian manufacturers are paying the utmost attention. ACIMIT has recently launched a project aimed at defining a form of digital certification， which can be used by ACIMIT member companies to certify the ease of integration of their machinery into the production systems of their customers.

Reliability， versatility and an excellent quality/price ratio are the characteristics that have always distinguished Italian textile machinery. Our exports reach more than 100 countries and the breakdown of exports among the different typologies of machines confirms that the demand of Italian technologies concern all segments of the textile production chain： from spinning to weaving， from knitting to finishing. Asian markets represent the main destination for Italian exports. Turkey， China and India are the top markets for the Italian sales. Figures updated at the end of March show 65 Italian exhibitors， with an occupied area of over 3，200 square meters. 21 of the 65 Italian exhibiting companies will participate within the National Sector Groups.

Asia is the main textile production hub. China is the leading producer and exporter of textiles and apparel and will remain so in the coming years. However， the entire Asian area is undergoing fast development， with countries， such as Bangladesh， Vietnam and Pakistan， remaining important markets for global textile machinery despite the pandemic. ITMA ASIA+ CITME 2020 will take place at a time （June 2021） when the worldwide vaccination campaign will have already unfolded its positive effects. In the meantime， there is no doubt that the severe restrictions on cross-border travel have influenced the decisions of many exhibitors to reduce the amount of exhibition space they have booked. ITMA ASIA + CITME remains the main exhibition for the Asian market， but this years edition will be strongly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The future of textile industry is certainly bright. In a difficult year like 2020， in order to exploit a competitive advantage over competitors， it will be increasingly important for textile companies to be able to take advantage of the technological advances incorporated in capital goods to support their own product innovation processes or cost reduction. The challenge will be to make good use of the growing scarcity of resources. Therefore products will have to be more sustainable and recyclable， requiring the use of fewer resources. To achieve these goals， it will be necessary to follow a path of innovation that will also involve machinery.
