The Southern India Mills’ Association (SIMA) to organize four day international exhibition of textile machinery, accessories and spares, Texfair 2016. This fair is the tenth edition in its series will see participation from 220 exhibitors displaying their products and services, in 231 stalls.
Apart from leading textile machinery, spares and accessories manufacturers and suppliers from Tamil Nadu, display of products from States such as Gujarat, Delhi, Goa, Punjab and Maharashtra as well as international participants are expected at this fair, a SIMA release said.
Appealing to textile mills to visit the expo, SIMA Chairman Senthilkumar said that almost four million spindles are being added every year in the country and textile mills, on an average, spend 2.5-3.0 percent of their annual turnover on spares and accessories and plough back 4-6 percent of the turnover on modernization.
Texfair would therefore be an ideal platform for the mills to zero in on their requirements, meet suppliers and plan their investments prudently, cut costs and improve the quality of the products they manufacturer.
The organizers are expecting approximately, one lakh visitors to attend the event during the four days. The visitor profile will include managing directors, directors, executives and shop floor technicians.
In addition, seminars on topics such as ‘Value addition opportunities in weaving’, ‘A right choice for value addition and diversification – Technical Textiles’ and ‘Improving energy efficiency and productivity in Textile Mills’ are planned on Day 1 for the benefit of the visitors.
The fair is scheduled between May 20 and 23 at the Codissia Trade Fair Complex.
