2015年，法国机械制造商曾恢复到最好的水平，年销售额超过十亿美元。 然而，2016年的形势却极不明朗，尤其是在我们最重要的市场 - 中国；预计销售额将比前几年低15%～20%。印度市场存在可期的发展潜能，但投资决策比我们想象的要慢。在其他亚洲市场如泰国、越南、韩国都比较活跃，且投资意愿积极。在伊朗，纺织工业的发展尚处于起步阶段，设备已经过时。美国经济增长明显，另外有些市场像西欧、东欧和中亚也做得不错，但没有大到足以弥补中国经济放缓所带来的损失。

真正比市场跌宕起伏更重要的是越来越快的技术突破。为应对这一挑战，我们已万事俱备，研发就在我们的基因里，因为我们是最知名的机械发明家Jacquard的后人。今天，我们的中小企业用其在研发方面的经费投入来应答我们的客户需求。未来，我们的另一个积极的主要方面是在发展销售和服务网络方面的投资。此外，我们对长期战略抱有相当积极的态度。

中国国际纺织机械展览会暨ITMA亚洲展览会 （ITMA ASIA + CITME）显然是主要的纺织机械展览会之一。我们的协会，法国纺织机械制造商协会（UCMTF），是欧洲纺织机械制造商委员会（CEMATEX）的成员，当然，我们也是ITMA和ITMA亚洲展览会的组织方的一部分。我们认为，在全球范围内有太多的机械展览会，如果我们要支持一些其他的展会，那么ITMA的展会是必不可少的。

在上海，每一个法国的参展商都将展示新技术，欢迎新老客户到展台参观。包括：

·NSC Fiber to Yarn，长纤维纺纱生产线 - 展位号H1 F08

·LAROCHE，纺织废料回收、纤维开松和非织造 - 展位号C48 H2

·FIL CONTROL，感应器和切割机- 展位号H1 B15

·AESA Air Engineering - 展位号H1 D03

·SUPERBA，热定型、段染、地毯生产线 - 展位号C01 H3

·DOLLFUS&MULLER，无端毛毯和烘干机皮带 - 展位号H6 A13

·TRELLEBORG，橡胶收缩带 - 展位号H6 D52

经过多年的两位数增长后，中国经济目前的增长速度仅为7%左右。大多数国家会很乐意看到这样的数字。事实上，对于中国纺织行业来说，最重要的事件似乎是工资的加速增长。鉴于此，或者说多亏如此，相较于其他亚洲纺织行业，中国的纺织工业正在丧失其原有的成本竞争力。为了寻找新的市场，中国纺织行业开始了产品的升级换代，既包括出口市场，也涵盖国内消费市场，不过，内销市场还并未被充分利用。我们到中国各地旅游时，会发现中国的男性和女性都在寻找时尚产品，并且有能力来购买这样的产品。家纺行业也是如此。至于产业用纺织品，它们往往体积庞大，不易被运往世界各地。所以，产业用纺织品需求在接下来的很多年内都将保持很快的增长速度。其他亚洲国家可以利用这个趋势，在低端产品方面将会有比较强的竞争力。对于我们的机械制造商来说，在亚洲国家的这些转移变化是一个真正的机会。我们研发的不是面向大众市场的机械，以棉纺为例，我们在做的是设计和制造所有生产流程所需要的专业的机器并提供服务。

通过参与2016中国国际纺织机械展览会暨ITMA亚洲展览会，我们期待从亚洲各地来的观众，向他们展示我们的最新技术、听取他们的意见、更好地了解他们的需求期望。我们的团队真诚地欢迎他们的到来。

In 2015， The French machinery manufacturers were back to the best levels ever，more than 1 billion US Dollars in annual sales. 2016 is more uncertain， particularly as in our most important market， your own country China； our sales will be about 15 to 20% lower than the previous years. Growth can be expected on the Indian market but investments decisions are slower than we imagined. Other Asian markets are active and the investment mood is positive in many markets like Indonesia， Thailand，Vietnam or South Korea. In Iran， the textile industry is in the starting blocks as the machinery is outdated. The US economy is clearly growing and markets like Western Europe， Eastern Europe or Central Asia are doing quite well but are not big enough to compensate the slowdown in China.

What is really more important than the markets ups and downs， are the technical breakthroughs that are occurring quicker and quicker. We are well prepared to face this challenge as R&D is in our DNA， remember that we are the successors of the most well known machinery inventor， Jacquard. Today， we are SME’s investing in R&D to answer our customers’ needs. Another positive main factor for our future is the investments we have made to develop our sales and services networks. Then， we are quite positive on our long term strategies.

ITMA ASIA+CITME is clearly among the major textile machinery shows. Our association， UCMTF， is member of CEMATEX， and then we are part of the organization of the ITMA and ITMA Asia. We believe that are too many machinery shows worldwide and， if we support some other ones， the ITMA’s are essential for us.

In Shanghai， each of the French exhibitors will show new technologies， they will welcome all visitors whether long time customers or new ones， let list them：

·NSC Fiber to Yarn， lines for long fibre spinning - Stand H1 F08

·LAROCHE， for textile waste recycling， fiber opening and nonwoven - Stand H2 C48

·FIL CONTROL， sensors and cutters - Stand H1 B15

·AESA Air Engineering - Stand H1 D03

·SUPERBA， heat setting， space dyeing， carpet lines - Stand H3 C01

·DOLLFUS & MULLER， endless felts and dryer belts - Stand H6 A13

· TRELLEBORG， rubber shrinking belts- Stand H6 D52

After many years of double digit growth， the Chinese economy is « only » growing around 7%. Most countries would be very happy with such figures. In fact，for the Chinese textile industry， the most important event seems to be the accelerating growth of the wages. Due to that， or thanks to that， the Chinese textile industry is becoming much less cost competitive compared to other Asian textile industries. To find new markets， the Chinese textile industry therefore has to upgrade its production both for the export markets and for the national market which is not yet really exploited. When we travel around China，we can see that the Chinese men and women are looking for fashion items and have the income to pay for such products. It is true also for home textile. As for technical textiles， they are often bulky and cannot be shipped around the world. Then， the demand for these technical textiles will grow at a fast rate for many years to come. Other Asian countries can capitalize on this trend and become very competitive for lower end products. For us， machinery manufacturers， these shifts among Asian countries are a real opportunity. We are not on mass market machinery， for cotton spinning for example but we are designing， manufacturing and servicing specialty machines which are needed for all production processes.

May I conclude about our expectations for ITMA ASIA+ CITME 2016. We are expecting many visitors from all over Asia to show them our latest technologies，to listen to them， understand better their needs. Our very dedicated teams will welcome them.

What is really more important are the technical breakthroughs that are occurring quicker and quicker
