Textile accessories, spares expo in Coimbatore focuses on technology

The 15th edition of Texfair, an exhibition of textile machinery, spares, and accessories took off in Coimbatore on Friday with focus on automation and technology.

Chairman of Ramco Group P.R. Venketrama Raja, who inaugurated the exhibition, said the four-day event is important as it showcases technologies that are available to bring down costs. In the last few years, the tetxile mills faced demand volatility, margin pressure, and a constant need for investments. In the coming decade, the mills should focus on speed and responsiveness, quality and consistency, sustainable production, operation efficiency, and productivity, he said.
