Ali Özgür Erbilol, General Manager of Mom Tekstil, which undertakes the representation of Erbatech in Turkey, said: “It is important for us to bring our technologies to Turkey for the first time and to offer innovative solutions to our customers. Visitors from many countries such as America, Germany and Italy came to our stand. ITM 2024 Exhibition met our expectations.”
Erbatech, which develops high-end solutions for the wet finishing of knitted and woven fabrics, participated in ITM 2024 at the Mom Tekstil booth, which undertook the representation of Turkey. Mom Tekstil General Manager Ali Özgür Erbilol stated that ITM 2024 has the potential to reach a wide visitor audience thanks to Turkey’s geographical advantage. We conducted an interview with Erbilol for Tekstil Teknoloji magazine. The highlights of the interview are as follows:
‘It is important for us to bring our latest technologies to Turkey for the first time’
As Mom Tekstil, we are participating in ITM for the 6th time since 2008. We are introducing Erbatech’s finishing machine for knitted fabrics. This machine will be one of the first in Turkey and will be installed in one of the biggest apparel companies in Turkey. It makes the products more value-added and differentiates them in terms of appearance and touch. It is important for us to bring these technologies to Turkey for the first time and offer innovative solutions.
“We anticipate that the market will revive in the first quarter of 2025”
After the pandemic, there was a serious boom in textile consumption, which led to an increase in production capacities. Inflation rose due to economic policies, which led consumers to restrict their spending. ITM 2024 can offer new opportunities to the industry in this challenging period. There are visitors from many countries such as the USA, Germany and Italy at our booth. ITM 2024 Exhibition has met our expectations. However, there is a weakening in the textile industry globally. We anticipate that the market will revive after the first quarter of 2025 with the decrease in inflation.
