Question: Groz-
Beckert has an excellent
market position world-
wide as a supplier of
various different textile
production and joining
technologies. What is
decisive as far as your
markets are concerned?
Answer
: In Chandi-
garh, Groz-Beckert Asia
(GBA) is known more as
the “Needle Factory”. We
have a very good reputa-
tion in the town and the
region and we’re a pre-
ferred employer, known
for treating our employees
with fairness and respect.
Our employees often re-
tire after 30 or more years
with the company.
In addition to the qual-
ity of our products, the
textile industry really
appreciates the expertise
and service of our sales
people, who have a high
level of technical train-
ing. In India, people
only do business with
partners they trust. After
many years of business
