ITM Texpo Eurasia 2012 Exhibitor Preview: UCMTF

France — February 2012 — French machinery manufacturers have been actively preparing ITM 2012 which
is taking place in Istanbul, April 21-24.

They are used to come to ITM and, more generally, to Turkey which they consider a strategic
market.Their latest regional collective action took place last October 2010 in Gaziantep (Turkey)
and Alepo (Syria) where they organized two conferences, in Gaziantep mainly focused on the carpet
industry which is so important in this fast growing city of Eastern Turkey.

For Evelyne CHOLET, the French Textile Machinery Manufacturers Association’s Secretary
General,”next ITM will be a major opportunity to meet once more our customers, communicate, at the
highest level, about their needs to compete successfully on the ever changing global market, to
introduce must-have new products, to have highly reliable, low cost and eco-friendly processes”.

The collective, highly visible, actions are in addition to each company permanent
organization, through local agents and offices.

Christian GUINET, President of the Association’s promotion commission and manager of STAÜBLI,
says he is much impressed by the dynamism of the mostly family — run companies working for their
long term future and that he will be personally very happy to have at ITM 2012 a new opportunity to
meet such entrepreneurs.

It is important to remind that France is the 6th textile machinery exporter worldwide.
Together the 35 manufacturers’ annual exports exceed 1 billion Euros (1.3 billion USD).

France is a main regional supplier of textile machinery, for example the 4th supplier for
Turkey.

The web site www.ucmtf.com is a hub for the French machinery manufacturers.
