Neeraj Bagga Tribune News Service Amritsar March 12 Rajiv Sajdeh one of the partners in the Indo-German Yarn and Fibres Limited Liability Partnership (LLP) manufacturing technical textile looks forward to take part in national and international technical exhibitions to upgrade the industrial unit this year. This is a year of upgrade for the industrial units. So the tech-textile exhibition which is held every two years in Frankfurt is on top priority and a similar exhibition in the same name is to be held in the USA. Their fresh dates would come anytime. “In order to keep pace with the technical upgrade taking place around the world in the industrial personal protection textile it is pertinent to visit the technical exhibitions.” “Post Covid-19 the attitude of the western people has undergone a change which is reflected in more demand of industrial use fabric from India. Before the pandemic exports used to form less than 20 percent of the entire industrial production” he said “Now it is almost doubling to nearly 40 percent this year. Surge in exports came from the European countries. New buyers from France Turkey and the USA have also started procurement. Even those western companies who have manufacturing facilities in China are buying from them” he added. The next agenda on his mind is to go as virtual as possible. This will help in swiftly updating the customers on the availability of new product development and holding web-conferencing to understand their new technical requirements. For instance the new thought of carbon fabric being stronger than the steel has gone into the understanding of the top industrialists in the World. BMW has set up its own carbon manufacturing facility in Germany. To make electric vehicles lighter to enable them to run on a single charge on longer distance carbon fabric is replacing the steel. Another use of the textile fabric is in covering sports grounds. So it would not be wrong to say that carbon is going to be the future. They did not experience big fall in the sales during the last year due to pandemic as domestic companies started buying from them which they used to procure in China. He pitches for educational institutes to incorporate industrial education such as industrial personal protection textile in their curriculum and integrate these with the industry. He said he had already contacted the Guru Nanak Dev University (GNDU) with it.
