What the industry has to say about Tex Spares 2004
According to Ms Indira Duraiswamy, director, SITRA, “It is amazing to
note that Tex Spares 2004 organised by SIMA is an unusual fair of its kind.
The fair will be a window for the technocrats to zero-in and understand the
new developments and to gauge the textile spares market as a whole in terms
of price and product profile. The fair will add to the progress of not only
textile mills but also jute, woollen and the entire textile industry. 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.
Says Mr U G Kanagarajan, a small spinner, “Trade fairs bring customers
and the suppliers closer in a bid not only to narrow down the price barrier
but also to identify the quality suppliers and also built up new sources. In
this view, Tex Spares is a welcome move and should be conducted every year.
Usually textile spares tend to lose attention when held along with textile machinery
expo or consumer goods show. A unique event for spares is the need of the hour.
On many occasions, the textile mills are unable to identify suitable sources
for their spare parts requirements due to which they are forced to procure spares
from the market at high cost. This exhibition will enable the textile mills
to identify the source of suitable supply of spares. Textile mills have to replace
worn out parts and carry out modernisation apart from planning on preventive
maintenance which is a tool for overall cost reduction.”
Mr K R Seethapathi, COO, Super Spinning Mills, says, “Most of the textile
mills are unaware of the new developments and new products in the textile market.
Tex Spares would help in creating awareness to such mills to source their accessories.
The Indian textile spares market has grown manifold to the level of being the
best substitute to the imported parts. However, mills lack awareness and continue
to incur the burden of high cost of imported accessories. With the small manufacturers
and dealers finding it impossible to clinch the supply deal with mills, the
fair will serve as an entry point to familiarise their product.”
Mr M Senthilkumar, chairman, PDEXCIL opines, “Modernisation is happening
in a big way in the Indian textile industry through the Technology Upgradation
Fund Scheme. Many of the units have resorted to importing second-hand textile
machinery and always have apprehensions about the availability of spares and
accessories. Tex Spares will definitely help the prospective importers to clear
their apprehensions and upgrade technology. The spare manufacturers can give
a thrust to their sales and consumers can study their requirements and take
decisions. Tex Spares will bridge the gap between the manufacturers and consumers.”
