Innovation and service are embedded in the DNA of UCMTF’s members; they are long term technology partners of their customers. Most of them are small or medium-sized companies, focused on specialty equipments which can be custom made to help the customers develop new products, produce them in sustainable and secure industrial processes. Their goal is to help their customers to increase both their turnovers and profits.
Europe remains the major textile equipment cutting-edge, innovative centre in the world. The National associations like UCMTF have joined together to own and manage, through the Cematex (European Committee of Textile Machinery Manufacturers), the ITMAs, in Europe every 4 years in a different country and in Asia every 2 years.
