The GTE exhibition in Bangalore and GARTEX exhibition in New Delhi
were held simultaneously and still were able to garner visitation, this
probably is an indication of increasing depth of apparel manufacturing industry in India.
Over the years StitchWorld reported continuous increase in visitation from non-metro cities and small- and medium-scale domestic players at various machinery exhibitions, which is unabated.With Ministry of Textiles trying to take the industry to north-east, the states inviting industry veterans to establish their factories, enticing them with lots of benefits and even few of the established players venturing outside India, are also the signs of maturity... I am personally visiting the north-eastern states as well as Orissa and Jharkhand to talk to the politicians and officers, and I am glad to see the change in their attitude towards the industry...
I am quite happy to see the depth and breadth of printing solutions being displayed at both the exhibitions, which is probably indicating entry of Indian players assembling the digital textile printers in India. While direct-to-garment (DTG) and sublimation printing is domain of garment manufacturers, quite a large number offering direct-to-fabric (DTF) technology signifying a war with analogue fabric printing which is the domain of textile mills. I look forward to similar spirited display of the same at ITME India in December 2016.
While the seminars have become stereotyped and boring these days, the 4th TANTU seminar which I chaired was a ‘game changer’ one. The seminar for the first time brought together the manufacturers (converters) of technical textiles on a platform to explore and deliberate. I am happy to see the energised discussions amongst panel members and a clear roadmap of collaborative working between the industry and the academia are probably the ‘value’ that can be generated from seminars in future.
