And it is with great pleasure that I present the first issue of the electronic e-newsletter dedicated to the industry
of capital goods, produced by the ICE Agency in cooperation with Federmacchine, as part of the
of the "Machines Italia" Project (to download the Project brochure: click here)
This newsletter aims to make Italian companies better acquainted with the initiatives of the
machines Italia program, which began as a horizontal communication and promotion project of the
italian technology in the NAFTA (U.S., Canada and Mexico) markets. Sent in electronic format to
quarterly, the publication will provide news about activities, appointments and new
and business opportunities in the capital goods sector.

To enrich and improve our services more and more, we look forward to your feedback,
comments, suggestions and opinions.

In the capital goods sector, the core of every manufacturing supply chain, Italy boasts expertise
exceptional, which place it at the top of world production and export rankings.
Distinctive qualities of Italian manufacturers are flexibility, creativity and innovation, to which is added
the offer of a service declined in terms, not only of technical and maintenance assistance, but
of true global consulting. On the other hand, common to all Italian operators of the
sector and the principle that shared technology is a prerequisite to the
understanding of the most particular usage requirements. Because of this, the Italian industry
of capital goods meets the demand of very heterogeneous markets, by location
geography, production needs and level of industrialization.

Constantly engaged in optimizing their offerings, Italian companies are
represented by FEDERMACCHINE, the national federation of associations of manufacturers of capital goods intended for the performance of manufacturing processes in industry and
crafts, a reference for users from all parts of the world.
