Zimmer, a leading provider of customer-oriented solutions for textile and carpet printing systems, experienced a highly successful presence at ITMA Milan 2023. The event served as an excellent platform for the company to connect with both existing customers and forge valuable new contacts. While ITMA is meticulously planned, it is the spontaneous one-on-one discussions that truly shape the character of the trade fair and prove to be invaluable for Zimmer.
At Zimmer, the driving force behind the development of new machines and technologies is attentive listening. The team of specialists, well-versed in manufacturing businesses and industries, constantly rises to the challenges presented by the market and its regulations.

The overwhelming response and the bustling booths at ITMA Milan served as a testament to the significant interest in innovative solutions for carpet and textile production, along with a persistent focus on sustainability. Zimmer’s automated imaging, computer-controlled processes, and integration of artificial intelligence offer new horizons for the textile processing value chain. The introduction of the new COLARIS printer generation, featuring up to 16 color groups, stood out as a major highlight of the show.
