Shanghai/Remscheid, 5 August 2008 – At the „ITMA Asia + CITME 2008“, China’s largest-ever textile machinery exhibition, held from 27 to 31 July 2008 in Shanghai, Oerlikon Textile occupied a display area of more than 1,500 m² in the „Circle of Success“. The company presented many new developments, including four world premieres. The reflection of Dr. Carsten Voigtländer, CEO of Oerlikon Textile, on the exhibition was definitely satisfied: „New orders in the value of more than 10 million Euros show that it is still possible to successfully conclude transactions in the entire textile machinery sector in spite of the difficult market situation in the first months of the year. At least on the first four of the five days, the visitors’ interest was very strong and we were able to show that we and our products are actually more than a step ahead“
