Dr. Raffaella Carabelli, Sales Director of Fadis, stated that ITM 2026 has always been an important exhibition for the company and noted that this year they are showcasing solutions designed to improve production efficiency for their customers. Emphasizing that efficiency has become one of the most important topics in the textile industry in recent years, Carabelli said that they are presenting their latest technological developments to visitors at the exhibition.
Carabelli pointed out that, thanks to Türkiye’s geographical location, ITM serves as an important meeting point for visitors from neighboring countries and described Istanbul as a strategic hub that is easily accessible for customers from surrounding markets. Despite the challenges facing global markets, Carabelli explained that the company decided to participate in ITM 2026 and brought a machine to the exhibition to showcase Fadis’ latest technological developments.
Automatic Doffing Technology Reduces Labor Requirements
According to Carabelli, one of the most significant changes in the textile machinery industry in recent years has been the growing demand for higher efficiency and reduced labor requirements. For this reason, Fadis is presenting machines equipped with automatic doffing systems at the exhibition.
Carabelli noted that textile manufacturers are increasingly looking for solutions capable of achieving higher production capacity with fewer operators. She stated that the technology showcased at ITM 2026 helps companies increase productivity while reducing labor requirements. According to Carabelli, customer demand in Türkiye and many other markets is increasingly focused on this type of solution, with labor costs and efficiency expectations directly influencing investment decisions.
A Visitor Profile Focused on Efficiency and Investment
Carabelli reported that visitor activity increased from the second day of the exhibition onwards. While acknowledging the uncertainties affecting current market conditions, she said that the overall picture remains positive.
Although market conditions are challenging, Carabelli emphasized that many of the professionals visiting the exhibition are actively evaluating new investment opportunities. She stressed that the quality of visitors is more important than the number of visitors and added that discussions with professionals planning future investments are particularly valuable for the company.
“Under today’s challenging market conditions, the visitors attending the exhibition are genuinely interested in making new investments and exploring the latest technologies. For this reason, quality is more important than quantity for us.” she said.
ITM Serves as a Regional Meeting Point
Carabelli stated that Türkiye occupies a strategic position connecting Europe, the Middle East and neighboring markets, making ITM an important platform for meeting regional customers. She added that Istanbul is a strong attraction center for both business professionals and international visitors and that the exhibition successfully brings together textile industry professionals from different markets.
Noting that ITM has become a well-established and highly respected brand within the global textile machinery industry, Carabelli said that Fadis is always pleased to come to Istanbul. She described the city as an important center both commercially and socially and thanked the exhibition organizers and all stakeholders for their efforts in successfully delivering the event despite the challenging conditions.
