Tex Spares 2004 - Window to the world of spares
E-Tex Staff - Coimbatore
The second edition of Tex Spares, organised by the South India Mills’ Association
(SIMA) will be held between February 5-9 2004 at CODISSIA Trade Fair Complex,
Coimbatore. The expo is aimed at bringing together the manufacturers and suppliers
of textile spares, accessories, components and consumers of these items such
as textile mills, powerlooms, handlooms, knitters and garment manufacturers
under one roof.
 The market
for spares for the spinning industry alone is estimated to be Rs 1000 crore
and mills in the southern region account for more than 50 per cent of the total
consumption of spares. Tex Spares holds major importance as apart from the textile
machinery and its technology, the accessories play a key role in adding value
and quality to the final output. Availability of quality spares at the right
time is significant for the smooth running of the textile units. Sourcing the
appropriate spares is a Herculean task for most of the textile units and Tex
Spares serves as a platform to bridge this gap.
Globalisation has ushered in competition in the textile industry worldwide and
mills are trying hard to have an edge over competitors with quality, smart prices
and well attended service networks. To remain ahead of the competitors, textile
establishments are constantly working at ways to curtail cost of production
by sourcing the best raw materials and spares. It is hoped that the fair will
help textile units to source spares and accessories from best manufacturers
and dealers at competitive rates to increase productivity and bring down the
cost of production substantially. With importing spares from offshore countries
becoming a costly affair, many textile units are finding ways to source Indian
spares of international standards.
 The fair will
serve as a window to the spares market and will enable textile units to get
acquainted with the availability of all kinds of textile spares in India. The
event is expected to give a facelift to textile spares manufactured in India
as a reliable substitute for costly imported spares. It will be an effective
platform for the prospective business visitor to compare and contrast appropriate
spares among the wide range of spares. In many of the units, the upgradation
process is hindered due to the apprehensions by the textile units about the
availability of spares for Indian and imported machinery. Tex Spares 2004 aims
to remove such apprehensions and to kick off the slow pace of the upgradation
process.
Objectives
- To promote and create general awareness about the availability of all kinds
of textile spares, accessories, lubricants, electrical/electronic items
- To provide opportunities for import substitution
- To provide a platform for buyers and sellers to converge under one roof
- To provide new vendors adequate exposure to the Indian textile and clothing
machinery and spares market.
