Indicating that ITM 2018 is the second ITM exhibition of the Groz-Beckert Turkey, Edirne says, “We present the samples of the products we produced for knitting, weaving, felt, nonwoven, carding industries in the exhibition. We brought samples of the machines. Models exhibited are similar to the actual machine models used in the industry, and their parts produced by Groz-Beckert. Our customers have had the chance to see parts during the processing much more detail on machine models”.
Özkan Edirne, who informed that almost all of their current customers have come to the exhibition, expresses that they consider exhibitions as opportunity to meet these customers rather than establishing new business connections. Edirne, who underlines that they have had the opportunity to introduce their new products, draws attention to the fact that the number of participants has boomed at ITM 2018 because of investment demand in the textile industry. In addition, ITM keeps investments alive in the textile sector.”
