Italian woodworking machinery industry grows considerably in 2015; outlook for 2016 positive1/14/2016 The Italian woodworking technology and wood-based materials industry keeps showing encouraging trends: preliminary figures for the current year speak for themselves, showing a fully positive sign for all major indexes, reported the Italian woodworking machinery and tools manufacturers’ association Acimall.
The analysis carried out by the Studies office of the Confindustria-member association gathering the industry's leading companies provides a brighter picture than many were expecting. And compared to the recent past, satisfaction comes from the domestic market, a trend that might bring even more significant “surprises” in 2016. Production has increased to Euro 1,790 million, 7.2% more than Euro 1,669 million in 2014, when the industry had already achieved an excellent increase by 8.6% over 2013. The trend towards the restoration of pre-crisis levels (in 2008 the Italian industry turnover exceeded Euro 2 billion) is clear and consistent. Export remains the key strength of our technology: in 2015 it has increased by 6.8% from 2014. Last year, growth had been slower, namely 5.7% compared to 2013. Import – accounting for a bit less than 25% of total wood technology investments in Italy – amounted to Euro 152 million, equal to 22.5% compared to 124 million in 2014. The trade balance has reached Euro 1,188 million (+5%), versus 1,131 in 2014 (+8.3% from 2013). Good trend also on the Italian domestic market, which exceeded Euro 450 million, up by 8.7% from 414 million in 2014, which had been growing by 18.2% compared to 2013. So, also the domestic market is showing a clearly positive trend, as further evidence of the effectiveness of government incentives to investments and a more positive “sentiment” of enterprises, which is encouraging new investments for the renovation or expansion of production assets. “Although the general scenario is better than in the past, trying to predict the future in this international economic and political phase is hazardous”, said Dario Corbetta, underlining the traditional focus of the association’s Studies office on tangible figures. “However, there are a few tangible elements that indicate a clear trend. Taking for granted that our companies will continue to be successful in several markets around the world where our technology is a synonym for excellence, during next year we mainly expect an increase in investments in the domestic market. “Two factors feed our optimism: first of all, a new measure by the Italian government will allow companies to apply a 140% depreciation of the value of purchased goods, whereby such depreciation will be evenly distributed across the entire lifecycle. This measure will be complemented by the extension of the 50% “furniture bonus” for under-35 couples who buy new furniture, not necessarily related to home renovation. A similar incentive in 2014 –Corbetta concluded – generated furniture sales in excess of Euro 836 million, a level of demand that was a very powerful driver”. In 2016 Acimall’s Studies office is expecting an expansion of the Italian woodworking technology business by 5 to 10%, an encouraging outlook for an industry that currently includes 9 thousand employees and 270 companies, 180 of them associated to Acimall and accounting for 18% of global production. A significant contribution to such growth will come from the next Xylexpo, the biennial international exhibition of woodworking technology and furniture industry supplies, to be held from 24 to 28 May in the FieraMilano-Rho halls.

In the latest move, the Asian country's state-owned China National Chemical Corp. has acquired Munich-based German machinery maker KraussMaffei. China's largest chemical company said Monday it had bought KraussMaffei, a German maker of machinery to expand its capacity for processing rubber and plastic.
Also known as ChemChina, the chemicals giant was reported to have paid $1 billion (925 million euros) for the acquisition. It is the biggest single Chinese investment to date in Germany. The company emphasized the deal would help to expand its product range. Diversification drive ChemChina said it would keep KraussMaffei's headquarters in Munich and its production and research operations in Europe. State-owned ChemChina has long been one of country's most active investors abroad, buying companies in France, Britain and Israel. Last year, it agreed to pay $7.7 billion for Italian tire maker Pirelli. KraussMaffei has a workforce of 4,500 globally, with 2,800 employees located in Germany. The company started out as a maker of locomotives in 1839. In the 1930s, it also began producing tanks. It later spun off its arms manufacturing segment into KraussMaffei Wegmann (KMW).

Ltd. subsidiary plans to expand its capacity in Chennai from about 800 molding machines to more than 1,000 a year, a Toshiba executive said at the Indplas 2015 show, held Nov. 27-30 in Kolkata.
“The expansion would be carried out over the next three years,” said Girish Handigol, head of plastics processing marketing in Chennai. The company plans to expand factory floor space and is considering buying additional land. It also said it wants to bring in a wider range of products to India from its international portfolio, including two platen machines and other technologies. “We will also launch energy efficient and economical range as per the market requirements including auxiliary systems,” Handigol said. He said Toshiba has been growing about 15 percent a year in the country, which he said is above the industry average of 10 percent. The company also said it would help it prepare for intensified competition as the Indian government lowers anti-dumping duties on Chinese-made presses below 1,000 tons clamping force. Tokyo-based Toshiba bought the Chennai operation in 2012 from Indian conglomerate Larsen & Toubro.

The event is jointly organized by Bangladesh Textile Mills Association (BTMA), Chan Chao Int’l Co., Ltd., and Yorkers Trade & Marketing Service Co., Ltd. It is the largest and must-attend annual trade events in Bangladesh. During the four-day-event, over 1,000 leading brands from 32 countries will be displaying a wide variety of state-of-the-art textiles and garments technologies, machinery and parts. One-stop trading platform
With many exhibitors’ support, the scale of DTG 2016 is bigger than before, organisers report. More than 1,160 booths with 1,000 world class leading brands will introduce the latest machines and technology to whole textile and garment industry supply chain of Bangladesh, including spinning, weaving, knitting, dyeing, printing, finishing, testing, washing, embroidery, sewing and other related equipment. DTG 2016 offers one-stop trading platform of textile and garment machinery from preparatory process to finishing process. “This is our 13th year for holding this event to help booming Bangladesh’s textile and garment industry,” say organisers. “We have been devoted ourselves to create marvellous experience for our exhibitor and visitors. Not only bringing the latest machinery and techniques, we also make our effort to offer an ideal platform with selected high quality exhibitors to help our visitors to save their time for searching a proper partner.” Vision 2021 Bangladesh government set an ambitious target of US$50 billion apparel exports in 2021. However, the current capacity of Bangladesh’s garment industry is far behind the goal owing to lack of textiles such as fabrics and yarns. The problem results from most of the materials are depending on import and the old equipment and laggard techniques of textile industry. In order to achieve the goal, improving techniques and eliminating old equipment are the necessary means. It can be expected that there will be a huge demand of textile and garment machinery with the strong support from government. The exhibition aims to provide an effective platform for those looking for high-quality machinery, parts, fabrics, accessories and reliable suppliers. Source: Knitting Industry |
