The decision to host ITMA 2023 in Milan was taken at the Cematex General Assembly. Mr Fritz P.

Milan has excellent infrastructure for holding large-scale exhibitions like ITMA, which grosses over 200,000 square metres and attracts a global audience. It offers an extensive range of hospitality services and air connections to all parts of the world. Italy also has a large textile machinery and textile making industry.”
