Techtextil India gears up to launch Texprocess Pavilion

Techtextil India is gearing up to expand its scope in the garment machinery segment through the launch of Texprocess Pavilion. The fair will begin from 13 September, 2017. Support from VDMA Textile Care, Fabric and Leather Technologies for this initiative will exemplify the potential for trade and technology transfer between Indian and German companies.

"With India being one of the largest producers of garments worldwide, the demand for automation solutions is increasing," said Elgar Straub, managing director of VDMA Textile Care, Fabric and Leather Technologies. "But the market for technical textiles is also growing steadily in India and thus is the demand for processing technologies. The Texprocess Pavilion at Techtextil India is the ideal platform for German and European manufacturers of garment machinery and machines for the processing of technical textiles to present their technology solutions to the Indian market."

Working together with the VDMA Textile Care, Fabric and Leather Technologies, the organiser aims to capitalise on this market need and deliver a professional platform that is purely focused on business needs of the Indian market. 

The launch of Texprocess Pavilion has already drawn attention of the buyers from India’s largest garmenting associations - AEPC – Apparel Export promotion Council & CMAI – Clothing manufacturing of India, both of whom have confirmed their support to the platform.

"India's diverse markets are rightly positioned to manufacture, consume and export non-traditional textile products. Non-apparel related products have varied applications in geo thermal, wind, automotive, process industries, health care, technical textile and a multitude of applications and these industry related products need different technologies, compared to the traditional methods of manufacturing. It is therefore very exciting to understand and learn more about the applications of these newer technologies. We consider that these segments of business would surpass the requirement of traditional textile and leather products. IIGM's participation in Techtextil India should offer detailed insights into some of these technologies," said Pavan Kapoor, managing director, Industrial Equipment, Maintenance and Parts Supplier.
