December 14, 2012 - Spain
A team of selected members from the Catalan non-profit association Agrupació d'Empreses Innovadores Tèxtils (AEI TEXTILS), which aims to join all the technical textile companies and organizations of the Spanish autonomous community for better productivity, has recently visited the smallest North African country of Tunisia on a special mission to help its technical fabric sector to improve business collaboration with the overall European cluster of technical textiles.
Jointly organized by the European cluster of technical textiles and MFC Tunisian cluster Pôle Monastir, the mission, undertaken by the AEI TEXTILS team, addressed various issues related to technical textiles as well as documented details about the country’s technical textile sector.
The Tunisian technical textile industry is comprised of nearly 200 companies and the average annual consumption of the textile products crossed the 20 million mark in 2012, according to the Catalan team.
