2011-8-17
Markets
Boscoli mentioned that the current market is recovering after a time of recession. The company is enjoying an increasing number of inquiries from Europe and North America for technical fabrics applications.
However, the current bestseller in the program is the electronic Jacquard machine EJT-4, which is especially suitable for terry fabrics. Thanks to some particular feature,s the machine produces an even pile surface, which is claimed to deliver a very good terry fabric quality.
For standard products, there is a great deal of competition among producers, Boscoli said, mainly with cheap products from China. In the high-level segments, she claims there are no problems, thanks to GITEC Grosse's unique products.
ITMA Barcelona
As GITEC Grosse is also an original equipment manufacturer, there will be a few products seen in the booth of its China-based sister company Zhejiang Grosse Precision Machinery Co. Ltd.; in Japan-based Tsudakoma Corp.'s booth, which will be showing a UniShed 2; and in the booth of Italy-based Smit Textile S.p.A., which will display an EJP-4 on a rapier weaving machine.
The expectations of the new old company are high: to consolidate its market presence, winning new customers, but also to confirm some trends relating to the new UniShed 2 for airbags.
The Future
Regarding developments in the near future, the clear vision is to gain more application areas for the UniShed 2; mainly for industrial fabrics and top-level products. This goes in line with the targets for the next few years: further increase in market share; market implementation of the UniShed; and, on top of all, Boscoli said, re-establishment of the Grosse brand.
And how does Boscoli see the future? "I am certain that the Indian market will experience an upgrade of the machinery technology for standard products. Europe and North America will slightly assert their market lead in the segment of technical textiles - but these regions have to be aware of China: That country will soon become an important player in this segment," she said.
