F
or Habasit Iakoka in
India, 2011 is a land-
mark year. The Indian
company has completed 25
years since its inception in
1986. Mr. N. Subramaniam,
Managing Director of Haba-
sit Iakoka, has been the face
of Habasit in India. People
close to him would agree
that he is always active, en-
ergetic and enterprising. But
ask Mr. Subramaniam, and
he says, “the focus at ITMA
2011 is on energy saving,
conservation of energy, and
at the same time contribu-
tion for the improvement in
quality of yarn”.
Habasit is undoubtedly the
world’s leading manufacturer of
power transmission and conveyor
belts and is the market leader in
the textile industry.
In India, Habasit Iakoka manu-
factures synthetic sandwich spindle
tapes for textile machinery appli-
cations, both for the domestic and
global markets. The company is
also supplying power transmission,
conveyor and modular belts to In-
dian and Bangladesh markets.
“Energy saving” has become the
watchword for the textile industry in
India. Mr. Subramaniam observes:
“Thanks to our decades of experi-
ence, we are expert in anticipating
the requirements of the future and
are already a step ahead in terms
of delivering greater efficiency and
