Key markets
When Cibitex started its international promotion of machines, the French market was one of the most important ones. After that Mexico and the US markets had a booming period, and the Taiwanese market had more than 20 sanforizing machines sold locally. Nowadays, the market of reference is without any doubt the Bangladesh market. The manufacturer has some machines running in India in denims and wovens. It is associated with the Gaurs to have increased focus for Indian and Sri Lanka markets. Both these markets are expected to drive the next phase of growth for Cibitex.

Construction of Cibitex machines is supervised by an expert team of technicians. The machines are manufactured and engineered with the customer needs in view. The machines are continuously updated and complete with the most advanced technologies in terms of drives, supervision and controls. They provide guaranteed performance and give consistent results over a period of time.
Indian market
Cibitex has been in the Indian market for last more than 12 years. The first machine was delivered in 1996 to Raymond in Yavatmal. It has three lines running in the production facility. Among the other customers in India, KG Fabriks Ltd. confirms its full satisfaction for the machine delivered to it. Some machines have also been delivered to Tulip Silks.
The Indian market is certainly among the most difficult where it is difficult to break the ice and win the confidence of customers. However, with the company’s machines running successfully for over a decade, one can say that once a customer buys a Cibitex machine, he doesn’t have to worry about the future.
Cibitex started its association with the Gaurs in the middle of 2017.
