Istanbul Textile and Raw Materials Exporters’ Association (İTHİB) has decided to support GTMF 2025 Gaziantep Textile Machinery Fair for the first time.

GTO President Yıldırım said, ‘’I believe that GTM will make significant contributions to our members and companies operating in the textile sector.’’

Turkey has fallen from a country revealing foreign trade surplus to a one running foreign trade deficit in the leather sector.

In a joint statement publicized by İHKİB, İTHİB, İDMİB and İHİB, the premium discount currently applied as 5 percent should be increased to 10 percent for 2 years in the ready-made clothing, textiles, leather and carpet sectors regardless of company size.

Export winners of the textile sector were awarded.

UTİB President Engin said, “We can export over a billion dollars to US, the world’s largest importer. We need to increase the number of our branded companies to strengthen our presence in the US market.”

At CAITME Italian exhibitors will show the most advanced technology applied to the textile sector, offering proper solutions in terms of efficiency, costs saving and sustainability.
