EDITORIAL

Dear Customers & Partners,

Looking back at how this year unfolded, I wanted to take a moment and share with you my thoughts on the textile performance of 2017.

Overall, we are quite pleased with the results, both the way the textiles market grew worldwide, including feverish, better-than-expected machinery investments in some areas, and, specifically, Itema’s performance during this year.

In fact, thanks in large part to your much appreciated custom, our Company is well on the path to close the year once again registering double-digit growth in sales of its advanced weaving machines, spare parts and services…

Christian Straubhaar, Itema Group Sales & Marketing Director
