Itema

Itema S.p.a. is a multinational Italian company that produces textile machinery for all types of weaving.
History.
The story of Itema begins in 1967 with the birth of "Somet", leading textile machinery company, in the province of Bergamo in the North of Italy.
In 2000 the company changed its name to "Promatech", after the acquisition of "Vamatex", another important textile machinery manufacturing company also in the Bergamo area of Northern Italy.
The new company acquired "SulTex" (Sulzer textile), a Swiss textile machinery manufacturing company, whose origins date back to 1834, and the exclusive producer of projectile looms in the world.
In 2012, the three historic brands - Somet, Vamatex and Sulzer/ Sultex - changed name and re-branded as one unique "Itema" brand.
