February 12, 2013 - India
The 2nd edition of Technotex-2013 – India’s premier show on Technical Textiles, organised by Ministry of Textiles and the Federation of Chambers of Commerce & Industries of India (FICCI), saw participation from over 100 companies across the globe.
The largest pavilion was formed by Taiwan Textile Federation with 10 leading companies from Taiwan present to showcase the superior quality of their technical textiles and high performance products from yarns and fibres to fabrics that cater to multiple industries such as Automotive, Medical, Geo-Textiles, Sports, Outdoor and Industrial.
The Taiwan Pavilion at Technotex 2013 in New Delhi attracted the attention of Indian companies at the fair. The exhibition was attended by over 4490 buyers, all interested in specialised textiles across sectors. The Taiwan pavilion itself attracted over 1100 buyers who were very pleased to interact with the exhibitors at the pavilion and their feedback was very positive and encouraging. One of the buyers, Samir Gupta, Business Co-ordination House said, “For the 1st time, we are able to get first-hand view of superior quality and high performance products from Taiwan at the Taiwan Pavilion in Technotex-2013, New Delhi.”
Another buyer, Ajay Bagaria, Director, and SHN Fibres was of the opinion that they would like to see more companies from Taiwan in the next edition and that they were already importing specialty fibres and yarns for the last 5-7 years from 2 Taiwanese companies exhibiting at Technotex. Some of the representatives from leading Indian brands, Institutional & Government agencies that visited the pavilion were Kimberly-Clark Lever Pvt Ltd, Jayashree Textiles (Aditya Birla Group), Alok Industries, Wildcraft India Pvt Ltd, Indian Ordinance Factories (Ministry of Defence), National Highway Authority of India (NHAI), Cinix Trade Pvt Ltd, SHB Fibres Pvt Ltd, Techno Fabrics Geosynthetic Pvt Ltd, Jindal Yarns Pvt Ltd, Pallavaa Group and GD Textiles (Madurai) Pvt. Ltd.
At a press briefing, Ms. Jennifer Liu, Project Manager of Taiwan Textile Federation said that, “The Taiwanese manufacturers are here to explore the Indian market and network with potential partners to build stronger business ties.” She also mentioned that the exhibitors were satisfied with the enquires they received for their products during the 3 day exhibition and were keen to further penetrate into the Indian market across various industries & sectors where their technical and functional textiles products would add more value to Indian finished products.
Overall, the Taiwan pavilion made a strong impact with the Indian buyers who wished there were more exhibitors with a more varied product showcase on display. In fact, business to the tune of thousands of dollars was agreed upon at the venue itself between buyers and exhibitors. This specialised exhibition ensured that old business ties were strengthened, but most importantly new businesses contacts were created which augur well for future relations between India's fledgling technical textile industry and their Taiwanese counterparts.
One of the buyers, Ashar Mujeeb of Tapaq Enterprises summed up the buyers' experience in a few words saying, “Their products are superior in quality and pricing is reasonable as compared to the other suppliers across the world. The demand of Taiwanese products has shown an increase across many sectors of the Indian Technical Textile Industries.”
