CSITC To Start Third Round Trials In January 2009

The ICAC Task Force on Commercial Standardization of Instrument Testing of Cotton (CSITC) announces the start of the third Round Trials in January of 2009. Participation in a CSITC Round Trial is not limited to test centers using Uster HVI equipment. CSITC evaluations are based on test results and are not dependent on the manufacturer, model or kind of testing instruments used.

The purpose of these trials is to encourage standardization in cotton instrument testing to promote efficiency in cotton production and marketing, and to help participating cotton test centers to ensure that their results be on the same level as other test centers around the world. Test centers enrolled in the trials will receive detailed information about their results to enable them to improve performance. Round trial results for each test center will not be reported to the public, but overall results for the round trials as a whole will be published.

The round trials are conducted four times a year. The U.S. Department of Agriculture will ship a set of cotton samples before each trial to participating test centers with instructions to test the cotton six times each day for five days for length, uniformity index, micronaire, strength, reflectance and yellowness, for a total of 150 tests, and will collect the results. These results will be forwarded to the Fiber Institute of Bremen, Germany, who will analyze them and send evaluations to individual test centers.

Chinese Textile Machinery Maker Unveils Latest Technologies

After the elimination of global quota system, the textile industry is booming at a rocket speed. The world is on a new path of industrial revolution. The textile hubs like China, India, Pakistan and many more are emerging rapidly among the western counterparts. Analysts are anticipating more growth with latest technologies in Textile Machineries. The textile machinery manufacturing hubs like China, Germany, Italy, Switzerland and India have already dived in immense competition to make and offer best technologies in textile machineries. The Chinese textile manufacturers are developing some of the best answer in technical aspects of textile industry, along with very competitive prices.

Yuyao Textile Machinery Co. Ltd. is among the most excellent textile machinery manufactures in the world from China, located in Yuyao City of Ningbo Municipality, Zhejiang Province, which is know as a celebrated place with splendid cultural legacy and features a good geographical position and a top convenient traffic facility.

A View Through The Lens : ITMA Asia + CITME 2008

Post quota era has brought sea changes in textile industry. To add to the competition resulted thereby, the urge for advance technology and state-of-the-art as well as globalisation remains the challenges for Asian textile makers. The obvious need to modernise operations in order to compete globally has spawned huge investment in quality machinery, especially, for China that has become a major manufacturing centre for textile products and the world's most dynamic market having one third of the global textile production capacity.


Envisaging this lucrative market opportunities for leading textile machinery manufacturers, a combined show ITMA ASIA + CITME 2008 came to existence to be held every two years in China, starting from 27 July 2008.


Sharing the objective behind support to this trade event, the policy maker and welfare activities planner in the textile trade of China, Mr Du Yuzhou, President of CNTAC (China National Textile and Apparel Council) comments: "For the 11th Five-Year Plan (from 2006-2010), China's textile industry will be focused on technical innovation and creation, development of Chinese own brands and increasing the added value of our products. All these must be carried out with advanced equipment. It is based on Chinas demand of advanced equipment and the outstanding achievements made by European textile machinery manufacturers, that we have decided to combine these two important events ITMA ASIA and CITME."

Scope Of Collaborations And Joint Ventures In Indian Textile Machinery Industry

Technology is the key enabler for rapid growth of the textile engineering industry. Efforts should therefore be directed towards technical upgradation of the textile engineering industry, technology transfer, re-engineering, promotion of joint ventures, BPO and R&D efforts. Technology and brand play the most vital role in the decision of a customer to buy a machine. The other parameter, viz., productivity together with consistency of quality would be concomitant with technology. Factors like energy conservation, eco-friendliness, reduction in labour cost, facility of operation and services would influence demand.

Preamble


The willingness of foreign manufacturers to transfer technology, continuity of transfer, and cost of transfer are aspects to be considered while procuring new technology. In the regimented system prior to 1992, the Indian Textile Engineering Industry was abjectly dependent on borrowed technology. Consequently collaborations and joint ventures in India were largely influenced by the initiatives of the foreign companies. Very often the technology offered was one or two generations behind the latest technology available with the foreign collaborators. So long as the Indian textile industry was enjoying a protected domestic marked it could carry on with such second generation technology. With the opening up of the economy the situation has undergone a rapid change.

Technology transfer affected


The transfer of technology to the TEl after the dismantling of the control regime has been impacted adversely by the following factors:

In the first place, foreign collaborators have sought management control before technology transfer could be considered. Secondly, many Indian buyers found it difficult to infuse considerable fresh capital to absorb latest innovations and designs. Thirdly, because of the strident and sudden scaling down of customs tariff the foreign suppliers found it more lucrative to export machinery from their parent plant than to allow local producers to meet the domestic demand. Lastly, the volatile demand situation for textile machinery and accessories has come in the way of procuring new technology.

The foreign owners of new technology have therefore to be induced with fresh incentives. The primary bait for technology sellers would be royalty payment and large dissemination of technology on a continuous basis. Government has to be a prime mover of this initiative by offering tax breaks to the technology buyer to help royalty remittances. Tax relieves may also be offered on raw materials and other inputs which go into the manufacture of new technology machines by the domestic manufacturers.

How to obtain Technology


A combination of routes has to be vigorously pursued to obtain the latest technology for the rapid progress of the Indian Textile Engineering Industry. These include:

a) Joint Ventures with machinery manufacturers who may be interested in transfer of technology. In the quota free regime, the manufacturers proximity to user market would be advantageous and hence the machinery producers from abroad may be interested to expand their presence in India.

Since a large number of knitting machines of latest technology are being imported from Taiwan it would be advantageous to examine the feasibility of procuring such technology for the growing knitting industry. Access to new technology could also be explored with countries like the U.S.A., Italy, Japan, Korea and Taiwan.
