India ITME 2004
A magnificent showcase of futuristic textile engineering technology
The India International Textile Machinery Exhibitions Society has organised
yet another mega event - India ITME 2004 - with a focus on the latest and futuristic
vision on technology for fabrication of textiles. This international exposition
will be held from December 4-11, 2004 in Mumbai.
The India ITME Society is supported by important textile organisations namely:
- Textile Machinery Manufacturers Association (India) (TMMA)
- Indian Textile Accessories & Machinery Manufacturers Association (ITAMMA)
- Indian Cotton Mills Federation (ICMF)
- Textile Association (India) (TAI)
- Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS)
The current event is the seventh in the series coinciding with the Silver Jubilee
of the society.
Importance of the Indian exhibition
India ITME shows have received global recognition and acclamation as a prominent
textile engineering event in this part of the globe. India is emerging as the
manufacturing hub of the world. Alongwith China, India is a major player to
be reckoned with in the field of global textile trade. The manufacturers in
India have proven that they can produce end-products of world standards and
quality. In fact India has surged ahead in the field of information technology,
automobiles, textiles and business process outsourcing in the last few years.
India is centrally located from the major textile producing nations like South
Africa, Kenya, Egypt, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Thailand, Indonesia,
Vietnam and China. Industrialists and businessmen engaged in textile production
cannot afford to miss India ITME 2004. A visit to the exhibition will enable
trade visitors to understand the dynamic developments taking place in Asia and
update their manufacturing processes with the latest technological developments
in spinning, weaving, knitting, dyeing and finishing. They will also be able
to identify cost effective replacement solutions and explore the possibilities
for expansion and modernisation.
World mart for textile engineering
India ITME 2004 is a world mart to the market leaders in textiles to scout for
more efficient production systems, modern adaptive technology and holistic competitive
advantages in the integrated global market. As curtain raiser to the emerging
frontier free trade from January 2005, this global textile engineering show
is strategically placed to help investors to avail of maximum mileage from the
imminent changes in the world trade in textiles.
Objectives of the show
India ITME 2004 is a vehicle which puts on show the most up-to-date products
and services to a specialised audience in order to meet the felt needs of textile
production and enterprise. The exhibitors are guided by the following objectives:
a) To exhibit and give live demonstration of state-of-the-art and new machinery,
ancillary and auxiliary equipment and accessories required by textile mills,
powerlooms, knitting, hosiery and garment units for the manufacture or
processing of yarn and/or fibres up to the fabric forming processes, for the
weaving of fabrics, for the manufacture of nonwovens, for fabricating garments
etc.
b) To display new technology machinery, equipment, supplies and services required
by textile mills, powerlooms, knitting, hosiery and garment units for dyeing/printing/finishing
processes.
c) To promote and stimulate general awareness and demand for new machinery,
equipment and processes designed for more efficient textile operations.
d) To demonstrate high speed, high productivity machinery and equipment which
improves quality of products and finishes for broadening consumer demand at
home and abroad.
e) To highlight the vast market in India and neighbouring countries for advanced
textile, knitting, hosiery and garment machinery, components and parts.
f) To explore the futuristic potential for growth of the textile engineering
industry in the new millennium.

India ITME 2004 has emerged as one of the greatest exhibitions of its kind in
this part of the world. From an area of 6,200 sq. mtrs. with 125 participants
in the first exhibition in 1980, the seventh edition has attained a wide reach.
This year it had to deny participation of more than 100 additional exhibitors
because of the limitation of space.
All the prominent manufacturers of textile machinery and components from important
supplying countries like Switzerland, Germany, Italy, Belgium, France, USA,
Japan, China, Korea and Taiwan have booked larger stalls in the show. There
are two country pavilions, one from Germany and another from Italy of 1,000
sq. mtrs. each. There are prominent participants from China for the first time.
This show is patronised by exhibitors from more than 26 countries.
The exhibitors include:
Foreign participants: Trutszchler, Rieter, Toyoda, Schlafhorst, Murata, Heberline,
Fong, Savio, Marzoli, Picanol, Zimmer, Uster
Indian participants : Lakshmi Machine Works, ATE Enterprises, Batliboi Ltd.,
Dalal Engg., Aalidhra, Himson Textile Engg. Inds. Ltd., Kirloskar Toyoda, Laxmi
Auto Looms, Veejay Lakshmi, Harish Enterprises, Premier Polytronics, Swastik
Textile Engrs. P. Ltd.
A number of textile research associations have been provided free booths to
propagate research and development activities carried out by them. The participants
are located in three halls broadly divided into:
a) Spinning & spinning accessories
b) Weaving and weaving accessories/knitting, electronics, instrumentation and
components.
c) Finishing machines and accessories
