Representatives
of eight German companies will meet the small-scale industries in a one-to-one
meeting to be held here on September 28.
The meeting is organised by the Coimbatore District Small
Industries’ Association (CODISSIA) and the German Engineering Federation (VDMA
India). The VDMA members will also visit some foundries and engineering units
here. The business interaction will be held from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. The
participants include manufacturers of bakery machines, automation machinery,
system partner of machine tool industry, agricultural tools, and pumpset
covers.
They are looking for suppliers of CNC parts, castings,
components, electrical control panels, forging products, agricultural
implements, and belt conveyors. Some of them want to expand their supplier base
and some others want new partners.
CODISSIA has a tie-up with the VDMA. Such one-to-one meetings
and industrial visits are organised based on demand and not regularly. The
industries here are facing a slow down in orders in the domestic and
international markets and the German manufacturers want suppliers. Hence, it
was decided to organise the two-day event, says the CODISSIA President R.
Ramachandran.
Already over 50 small-scale industries here have registered with
the association for the meeting. Those interested can contact the CODISSIA for
details.
