France is the 6th exporter of textile machinery worldwide and Turkey is its second most important market. ITM is the leading textile machinery fair in Turkey.

Hubert TRETSCH （Superbas marketing manager）， President of the Promotion Committee of the French Textile Machinery Manufacturers Association（UCMTF）， will be at ITM Istanbul June 1 - 4.

He states， “Our tradition of R & D associated with our long term partnerships with our clients explains why France is exporting around one billion Euros worth of textile machinery each year.” Eventhough there are many opportunities to meet the Turkish customers on their own premises or at such fair as Itmas， he considers ITM a major opportunity. “ITM is a major regional event and we look forward to meet there our long time customers as well as new ones from Turkey and surrounding countries. Our clients and we share the same goal： be reliable long term partners for our customers. We are not looking for short term profits but to make our companies stronger and stronger to seize the markets opportunities and be able to absorb the difficult years. We are mainly SMEs， often family owned， leaders or coleaders in their markets. This why we understand each other so well with our Turkish customers who are real entrepreneurs”.

At ITM， the textile and carpet industrialists will be shown the latest technical innovations by the French teams. The stability of these teams allows them to go well beyond the purely technical and address the long term objectives of their customers.

More information on the French textile machinery manufacturers can be found on the portal www.ucmtf. com.

AESA Hall 3 Booth 315B

A worldwide leader in air engineering for all textile production processes for natural fibers as well as for man made fibers in all different stages： spinning， knitting， weaving， hosiery， nonwovens， dyeing and finishing. The company is specialized in air-conditioning and waste collection systems for textile factories.

The overall energy saving is becoming a competitiveness factor. The AESA air conditioning plants are contributing in a big way to this goal. For spinning factories， the state of the art is to drive all fans and pumps motors through inverters. For weavings， the latest development called WEAVE DIRECT is capable to reach up to 50 % energy savings. This is possible thanks to a dedicated supply air ducting system where unique and localized WDB type diffusers are placed above each loom. Like this the moisture needed for a good output is conveyed in the right quantity to the right place above the loom， and the overall air requirement can be reduced drastically.

Last but not least the DIGIVENT control system， with latest AESA logic is capable to have even more stable room condition between running and not running high speed machines.

This achievement is possible with AESAs more than 50 years of experience in this specialized field and is assuring better productivity to AESAs clients and better yarn and fabric quality to the end user.

AESA recognizes Turkey as a major market and a special organization has been set up to give the Turkish market the best service： agent， direct office， etc…after sales： AESA has a liaison office in Turkey， and Ikiler Tekstil has been the agent for the last several years.
