UK: Stoll Snubs ITMA For Rival Show
German flat knitting machine builder Stoll has confirmed it will not take part in the next ITMA textile machinery exhibition to be held in October 2003 in Birmingham, UK. At a press conference in Reutlingen, Germany last week, joint managing director Heinz-Peter Stoll said the company will instead participate in the rival International Knitting Machinery Exhibition (IKME), due to be held in Milan from 14-20 October 2003, just days prior to ITMA.
