One of these companies is ATMA (American Textile Machinery Manufacturers Association). In scope of the said collaboration agreement, with the mutual accord of both associations we as TEMSAD were desirous to hold a workshop. The event shall be held prior to ITMA.

China is purchasing 2.5 billion dollars’ worth of machines per year. This data is very important for us. America prefers to purchase machinery that is of high added value, technical textiles and high technology machines. It can be said that the end result of our machine producers meeting with the American industrialists in America, shall be of great contribution for both countries. It is a known fact that America has made major investments in textile. We have learned through our research that America is purchasing dye finishing machines on a large scale. S ince our strongest point in terms of machines are that of dyeing – finishing machines and finishing machines I believe this business trip shall be fruitful one. We, our machine manufacturers are endowed with a technology capable of manufacturing at world standards. At the present time there are companies that export to America. Our aim here is to raise our exports levels in t he A merican m arket. F ollowing o ur visit there I believe that we shall achieve this increase and give start to fruitful collaborations. The interest vested in the Turkish machinery industry by American industrialists is increasing day by day. We are planning to promote the Turkish textile machinery companies more closely to the American industrialists”.
