There are numerous textile machinery exhibitions worldwide, which can sometimes limit companies’ ability to showcase new innovations and machinery. How do you view the proliferation of these exhibitions?
While the proliferation of textile machinery exhibitions can be challenging, it also presents numerous opportunities. Each exhibition has its unique audience and focus, allowing us to tailor our participation and highlight specific innovations that cater to the needs of different markets. We believe that these events are crucial for staying connected with industry trends, understanding regional market demands, and showcasing our latest technologies.

Countries like Turkey, India, and China are making significant strides in textile machinery manufacturing. How can European textile machinery manufacturers stay ahead of these emerging competitors?
European manufacturers can maintain their competitive edge by continuing to focus on innovation, quality, and customer service.

At Biancalani, our commitment to excellence, innovation, and sustainability sets us apart and ensures that we remain a leader in the industry.
It is also important to note, however, that maintaining a level playing field is essential for fair competition. In this context, we believe that adherence to international laws on patents and intellectual property rights is crucial. Specifically, ensuring that all players, including those in China, respect these regulations will promote loyal competition and drive the entire industry forward.
