VDMA backs German textile machinery manufacturers' India visit in Dec

Decision-makers and experts from the textile and nonwovens industry in India have the chance to inform themselves about the latest textile machinery solutions to make their textile business and products more sustainable and efficient. The 13 renowned VDMA member companies and their Indian partners cover the entire value chain from spinning, knitting, weaving, nonwovens, dyeing, and finishing, the association said in a press release.

The participating companies are Andritz, Baldwin, Erhardt+Leimer, Groz-Beckert, Karl Mayer, Korting, Pleva, Saurer, Sedo Treepoint, Setex, Trützschler Group, Trützschler Nonwovens, and Weko.

The VDMA represents more than 3,600 German and European mechanical and plant engineering companies. The industry stands for innovation, export orientation, and small medium enterprises (SMEs). The companies employ around 3 million people in the EU-27, more than 1.2 million of them in Germany alone. This makes mechanical and plant engineering the largest employer among the capital goods industries, both in the EU-27 and in Germany.

In the European Union (EU), the VDMA represents a turnover volume of an estimated €860 billion. Around 80 per cent of the machinery sold in the EU comes from a manufacturing plant in the domestic market.
