Italy showcased advanced textile technologies in Mongolia to deepen industrial ties. A workshop on Italian textile technologies opened in Ulaanbaatar on 21 June and ran through 23 June 2026. Focused on the most advanced, innovative solutions for the textile industry, the initiative brought together 13 Italian textile machinery manufacturers, underscoring growing interest in strengthening industrial cooperation between the two countries and highlighting Mongolia’s strategic importance for Italian textile machinery producers.
Italy’s textile machinery industry is widely recognised as a global benchmark for technology, innovation and quality. Italian manufacturers are known for delivering flexible, versatile and customised solutions that respond quickly to customer needs and create high value-added niches. The workshop placed particular emphasis on supporting Mongolia’s textile sector as it shifted toward more efficient, premium-quality production. Italian technology was positioned as a practical contributor to Mongolia’s industrial modernisation and sustainability goals.
The Italy–Mongolia technology partnership drew on Italy’s expertise in cashmere and wool processing two raw materials central to Mongolia’s economy. Data compiled by ACIMIT indicated that Mongolia had shown strong momentum in recent years, with a clear trend toward expanding trade and technology cooperation. The machinery most sought by Mongolian buyers was primarily spinning equipment, accounting for 35% of total Italian exports to the country, followed by laundry machinery (21%), accessories (19%), finishing equipment (14%) and weaving machinery (11%).
“Mongolia represents a highly promising market for our industry,” said Marco Salvadè, President of ACIMIT. “The participation of Italian companies in the Ulaanbaatar workshop demonstrates a strong commitment to consolidating a long-term technological partnership. Our highly specialized and flexible technologies are ready to support local operators in upgrading their production processes and increasing the added value of their textile exports. The workshop in Mongolia is also part of a broader program of initiatives aimed at promoting the Italian presence at ITMA Hannover 2027, the world’s leading exhibition for textile and garment technologies, where Italian companies will once again showcase the very best of textile machinery innovation.”
The initiative, promoted by the Italian Trade Agency and ACIMIT, with support from the Embassy of Italy in Mongolia, featured the participation of Biancalani, Bianco, Color Service, Cormatex, Fadis, Lawer, Mesdan, Cosmatex, Pinter Caipo Italia, Proxima, Stalam, Tecnomeccanica Biellese and Ugolini.
Italian textile machinery spans key categories including spinning, weaving, knitting, finishing and related equipment. Creativity, sustainable technology, reliability and quality have underpinned Italy’s global leadership in textile machinery.
