Brescia and its surrounding area has always been one of the most important manufacturing centres for hosiery and sock manufacturing machinery as well as home to many internationally renowned producers of socks and hosiery.
FIMAST (International Textile Machinery and Accessories Trade Show), which is being held between 26-29 September, aims to prove that the Italian and European hosiery machine building industry is still a dynamic force to be reckoned with and that the Brescia based exhibition is a viable and desirable alternative to FAST which ceased to exist after it was last held in 2005.
In addition to the exhibition, organisers are planning a series of symposia entitled ‘The meeting for textile machinery trade operators at Fiera di Brescia’ which will be held each day of the exhibition.
