Italian textile machinery entering the United States means the arrival of a new era in the industry

The ACIMIT and ICE will set up a technology factory at the University of North Carolina, USA, from May 25th to 26th this year, which will use Italian textile machinery to produce high-tech products. Textiles and non-woven textiles. Some manufacturers of high-tech textiles and non-woven textiles will hold technical seminars to exchange their latest application technologies. The factory will be headed by Paul Buffy, chairman of ACIMIT.

In the concept of the average person, the United States is a country in which the textile industry is shrinking. The textiles of the United States are basically imported by the third world countries. Why Italy as a textile machine power enters a non-textile production country! In fact, this is not a simple business activity, but it marks that the textile industry is about to enter a new historical stage. I think this historical stage has the following characteristics:

First, textile products are moving from simple production to high added value. Why do high-value-added products only appear in the United States, and not in textile giants like China? This involves a problem of market purchasing power. It can be said that high-value-added textiles are unlikely to appear in China in the short term. Because Chinese people’s income is very low, it is difficult to conceive of households earning 1,000-2,000 yuan a month to buy tens of thousands of garments. On the contrary, the per capita income of the United States It is much higher than China, and ordinary consumers are fully capable of paying such prices. Therefore, the purchasing power of the US market determines the development opportunities for high value-added products in the United States.

Second, the textile industry has shifted from labor-intensive to technology-intensive. When people mentioned the concept of “sunset industry” immediately in the textile industry, it was actually an intuitive understanding of the people in the textile industry, rather than a conclusion based on careful analysis. There is no sunset industry, only sunset technology. Whether an industry can become a promising industry does not lie in what it does, but whether it can accommodate more modern, future technologies. The fact that Italian textile machinery enters the United States is an example of combining the textile industry with high technology. We know that Italy is a textile machine power and a clothing powerhouse, while the US is far ahead of other countries in the field of science and technology. This combination means that high technology has added new firepower to the textile industry, and the textile industry has provided new market space for high technology.

Italy's entry into the United States shows that high-value-added textiles have taken the lead in the development of countries with strong purchasing power in the market and have taken the lead in the development of countries with strong scientific and technological strength. This also marks a new development opportunity for the textile industry.
