Tissue Italy network confirms the next edition for 2018

The second edition of It’s Tissue has proved inspirational for the sector with more than 1,000 visitors from around the world visiting Lucca between June 21 and 28. This is an increase of more than 42 percent on the debut event.

The Tissue Italy network of 12 companies behind iT’s Tissue have confirmed that, thanks to the very enthusiastic international response, the third edition will take place in 2018. The 12 companies forming the Tissue Italy network are: A Celli, Elettric 80, Fabio Perini, Futura, Gambini, MTC, Omet, PCMC, Pulsar, Recard, TMC and Toscotec. Some of the companies are competitors, others offer complementary solutions. All share the passion for tissue technology synonymous with Lucca, Reggio Emilia and Lecco.

Tissue technology is one of many industries to be limited by the traditional exhibition format because of the sheer size of the equipment involved. This is where It’s Tissue, a week’s worth of open houses and other events, really plays its part. The participants can see, hear and touch technology, working with real products.

Network President Matteo Gentili said: “iT’s Tissue has proved again to be a great success. It is a wonderful celebration and exploration of tissue technology and a strong signal of the health of the Italian sector. To see so many people from five continents make the journey to Lucca to witness our solutions in action is a source of great pride and an affirmation of the event itself. They have seen the best the market can offer.”
