Dear Business
Partners,
I am happy to connect
with you through this
page of our company
n e w s l e t t e r ,
CommunicATE, in our
special issue on ITME
2016!
As we approach the
financial year end, the
I n d i a n e c o n o m y
p r e s e n t s a m i x e d
picture. On one side we
had some waves due to
demonetisation, but with GDP pegged to 6.5 to 6.75% this fiscal, and
expected to rebound to between 6.75% to 7.5% next year, the overall
situation still looks reasonably healthy. The scenario in the Indian
textile industry too is no different. Here we also have an additional
silver lining – the successful completion of ITME 2016 held from 3 to
8 December 2016 at Mumbai, which attracted a huge footfalls – 1.10
lacs+ from close to 75 countries.
ITME is a major event, one that is keenly awaited by both the key
stakeholders – the textile machinery manufacturers and the textile
industry. It provides an excellent platform for the machinery
manufacturers around the world to showcase the latest in textile
technology, and for the textile mills to keep abreast with the latest
developments and choose the best of the technology to maintain and
or to improve their competitive edge globally. It is imperative for the
Indian textile industry to continuously focus on innovation/technical
upgradation to exploit global business opportunities in textiles with
the global apparel market size projected to reach US$ 2.6 trillion by
2025 from US $ 1.7 trillion in 2015 with India’s share expected to rise
from US $ 59 billion to US $ 180 billion @ 12% CAGR (source: Wazir
report). The mood at the event surely indicates that the Indian textile
industry is looking for and is ready to grab this opportunity by making
investments in the right technology.
At A.T.E. we along with our principals were present in full strength at
ITME 2016, occupying a total area of 2100 sq. m. In all, 30+ of our
principals participated in this exhibition with over 100 representatives
from our overseas principals attending this event.A.T.E. had a stall of
576 sq. m. in the Processing hall no. 6, in which we had 23 of our
principals with individual stalls that include Fongs’ Group, Monforts,
Mahlo, Osthoff, Stalam, Texpa, Zimmer, Corino and many more. We
also showcased our group company products and solutions here -
A.T.E. Envirotech, EcoAxis and the Flow Technology business units
of A.T.E. were also present in this stall. Our principals like
Truetzschler, Savio, MAG, Luwa, and Karl Mayer had their stalls,
while we also had separate stalls for TeraSpin and Valence from the
A.T.E. group.
We had a number of product launches by many of our principals.
There was major interest at the Truetzschler stand, with displays of
the new wider width card TC 15 along with the new concept of T-Move
and Jumbo cans, the twin delivery draw-frame TD 9T, and the five
module contamination remover TS T5. At the other end of the textile
value chain, there was the launch of the high productivity Polo
Placket by Juki. A number of innovative products and solutions were
on display at all of stalls that generated avid interest amongst the
visitors. You will find brief information on these highlights that were
on display in the following pages.
A.T.E. is always looked upon as the source for the latest in technology
and best practices in every field it operates in. We were delighted to
have a large number of guests to our stalls that included industry
captains, entrepreneurs, and senior executives from many of the
leading textile mills, as well many senior government officials. We
were pleased we had the opportunity to demonstrate and explain the
latest offerings from theA.T.E. group and our principals. We finalised
a number of orders for various products at the show and we also
received a number of serious enquiries.
I am sure that the coming years will be exciting for the Indian and
Bangladeshi textile industries with the projected growth in the world
market size for apparels and made-ups. ForA.T.E. it has been a long
journey of partnership with the textile industry and we will continue to
be in the forefront in providing the latest technology solutions and
best services to help the textile industry to take advantage of every
emerging opportunity.
