Taiwan Textile Federation explores Indian partnership

The Taiwan Textile Federation (TTF) has expressed its interest to partner Indian counterparts to promote technical and composite textiles, according to a report on the Textile Association of India (TAI) website. The TTF showed its interest in collaboration with the Indian textile sector at Technotex 2015 in Mumbai recently.
 
The TTF and the Bureau of Foreign Trade (BOFT) had set up the Taiwan Pavilion jointly with Taiwan Composites Association (TCA) at Technotex 2015.
 
The Taiwan pavilion displayed the country’s latest textiles and composites with quality products which showcased pioneering technologies. Taiwan participated in a big way this year with 18 companies producing high-end composites, innovative technical textiles, raw materials, accessories and non-woven machinery.
 
“The need of the hour for Indian manufacturing is quality, reliability and consistency. Taiwan is one of the very few suppliers in the world who can fulfill the above criteria and help the industry grow exponentially,” the TAI report quoted Sean Tsai of TTF as saying.
 
Taiwan’s functional textiles market has invested a lot of resources in textile technology innovation. They now produce fabrics, which are anti-bacteria, water repellent, and moisture transferring amongst others. This is why most of the largest sportswear and outerwear manufacturers and retailers usually source active wear fabric from Taiwan.
 
Taiwan has an international reputation for technical textile development. At Technotex, Taiwanese companies exhibited a wide range of application fields like protective, performance functional, eco-friendly, mobile, nonwoven and new materials for architectural and geotechnical construction. (SH)
