Acimga promotes the industry in Oman
August 5, 2020The General Manager of Acimga (Italia manufacturers association of machinery for the graphic, converting and paper industry) and Federazione Carta e Grafica, Andrea Briganti, took part in the webinar, organized by the Embassy of Italy in Oman together with ICEs (Italian Trade Agency) offices of Dubai and Muscat, to promote the industrial compartment in the Arabian Peninsula, enhancing the collaboration between Italy and Oman.
Briganti presented the Association’s activities and the Italian
technologies in the printing, converting and packaging field. He also gave an
overview of the economic data from Federazione Carta e Grafica and the supply
chain’s projects in terms of internationalization and industry 4.0.
The virtual meeting, opened by the Italian Ambassador Federica Favi, was
attended by Italo Vailati – General Secretary of Giflex, Amedeo Scarpa –
Italian Trade Commissioner for Oman, the United Arab Emirates and Pakistan and
Paolo Gabrieli – Relationship Manager MENA Region for SACE. Speaking for Oman
were the Undersecretary of Trade and Industry Ahmed bin Hassan Al Dheeb,
Riyada’s CEO (SME Development Authority) Halima Al Zari, the director of
Investors Services for Ithraa (Investment Development and Export Agency) Mazin
Humaid Al Siyabi and the Director of Innovation Start-Ups Jalal Al-Hadrami.
“Oman is not a very big market in absolute terms, but here Italy has done very
little – says Andrea Briganti – . Growth margins are therefore potentially very
high, but we need to make the Italian excellence in our industry well known
locally and show why the ‘Made by Italy’ represents a huge plus in the field of
printing and converting. This webinar opens a new commitment activity by
Acimga, introducing Italian machinery internationally, with 4 roadshow events
in the UK, Turkey, Egypt and Algeria during the autumn of 2020 “.
