Impiantistica e tessile spingono l’export della provincia di Teramo

The textile and imprest industries are driving exports in the province of Teramo, a former industrial crisis area. Despite rumors of its demise following a feature film in 2017, the region is now experiencing significant growth. According to a Luiss study, Teramo is among the provinces with the strongest industrial growth within the "V al Vibrata - Valle del Tronto - Piceno" complex industrial crisis area.

The reasons for this growth include diversification, which has made the production sector resilient. Rather than being broken by crises, the region has merely been bent and strengthened by them. Consequently, the number of enterprises in Teramo has increased, reaching 34,733 with a combined turnover of €1.321 billion, according to Mediobanca.

The province has also been leading in added value growth over the past five years, contributing €1.8 billion to Abruzzo's exports in 2025, making it the second region in external trade after Tuscany. Teramo's textile and imprest industries extend their reach to markets such as Morocco, the Middle East, and Mexico, specializing in expertise in forming personnel for oil well drilling.

They also develop clinical reagents for 150 countries. The Zes special economic zone, the Pnrr, Industry 4.0 and 5.0, and other regional aids have contributed to Teramo's success. The success of Teramo's enterprises is attributed to pioneers of the past, combined with innovation from today's managers, ensuring smooth transitions between generations.
