The audience was very interested and many questions were asked.
Then the French delegation visited the ATIRA centre at Ahmedabad.
Evelyne CHOLET, UCMTF Secretary General, was very impressed by the projects the Indian companies are working on. Once more, she had the opportunity to see that India is a major player in the textile industry and, more and more, in the technical textiles. She analyzes that growth opportunities are considerable as these industries meet the requirements of their domestic markets for higher quality products and stand up the worldwide competition to take advantage of the globalization of the markets.
The French textile machinery manufacturers, for already a long time they have considered India as a lead market. Very strong ties with industrialists in India already exist and are considered as long time partnerships.
Thanks to local representatives, the regular organization of seminars (2007, 2010 and 2013) in the main Indian textile areas and the participation at many shows, the French machinery manufacturers can offer the service of local partners. Not only their machines are state of the of art technologically but the services include quick assistance, spare parts availability, special design, consulting services in such sectors as safety rules and energy savings.
