Returning to Singapore after two decades, Galan expressed enthusiasm about reconnecting with customers across Southeast Asia, Oceania and the Pacific.

Reflecting on the event, Galan noted that the show exceeded expectations.
“This show is very good. We were here 20 years ago in Singapore, and now being back in this wonderful place is a great opportunity,” he said. “We have had the chance to meet customers from Southeast Asia, Oceania and the Pacific, and we are very satisfied with the visitors.”
He highlighted the high level of interest in Galan’s high-performance twisting machines for advanced applications, emphasizing that discussions throughout the exhibition were positive and business-focused.

The Competitive Strength of Spanish Machinery Manufacturers
Discussing the unique position of Spanish textile machinery producers, Galan pointed to their agility and craftsmanship.
“We are small to medium-sized companies with a long tradition and skilled personnel, so we can adapt to the market in a much easier way,” he stated. “This ability to customize machinery or equipment quickly—something larger corporations may find difficult—is one of our key competitive advantages.”
Galan emphasized that flexibility, technical expertise, and reasonable pricing remain core strengths of Spanish manufacturers.
“The key value is that we can easily and quickly adapt to customer needs, and at a reasonable price,” he added.
ITMA Asia + CITME Singapore 2025 once again highlighted the importance of innovation, responsiveness and customer-focused engineering—qualities that Galan Textile Machinery continues to deliver as it strengthens its presence in global markets.
