SIMTA has announced its induction as a Corporate Member of the International Textile Manufacturers Federation (ITMF), reinforcing its growing role in the global textile machinery and automation landscape.
Over the past two decades, SIMTA has built a strong reputation as a manufacturer of specialised machinery for the textile industry. In a relatively short span, the company emerged as a key supplier of high-precision rollers to leading OEMs. It later expanded its portfolio to include overhead cleaners, bobbin transport systems and other textile ancillaries. Today, SIMTA is recognised as a leader in this segment, working in close collaboration with its German automation technology partner Jacobi.
Welcoming SIMTA into ITMF, Mr. Christian Schindler, Director General of ITMF, commented:
“Welcoming SIMTA as a new Corporate Member of ITMF underscores the growing relevance of the Indian textile machinery industry. Textile machinery companies are key players in the textile value chain and within ITMF, providing essential innovations and solutions that help address challenges such as labour shortages or the need to digitize the value chain. By joining ITMF, SIMTA gains access to a unique global platform for information exchange, dialogue, and industry networking. We are confident that SIMTA will benefit from the wide range of services ITMF offers, including statistics, reports, surveys, webinars, and, of course, the networking opportunities provided through our conferences, workshops, and excursions.”
Expressing SIMTA’s perspective, Mr. Senthil Kumar, Executive Director of SIMTA, stated:
“Joining ITMF is a logical step in SIMTA’s ongoing internationalization process. ITMF provides a unique international forum that enables SIMTA to actively participate in industry discussions, helping us better understand and contribute to shaping global dynamics within the textile value chain. The access to exclusive information will help us to develop and continuously adapt our business strategy. Our association with ITMF reinforces our commitment to strengthening our position as a supplier of technologies and solutions for the global textile value chain.”
By becoming part of ITMF’s global network, SIMTA aims to actively engage in knowledge exchange, industry dialogue and collaborative initiatives, while further strengthening its position as a provider of advanced technologies and solutions for the worldwide textile value chain.
