Smit Textile Spa is represented in India by Bakubhai Ambalal since 1979 when the company was known as Nuovo Pignone. It has been a long journey together that enabled the company to increase its presence in this important market, according to Mr. Guido Zanon, Sales Office Area Manager, Smit Textile Spa.
Smit has over 5,000 installations in India with customers like Alok Industries, Abhishek, Welspun, Shri Lakshmi Cotsyn, Raymond, Himatsingka, Mulbery Silk, Summer India, Sharada Terry Towel, Sharman Shawls and Shingora Shawls. One of the key achievements in the Indian market is the acquisition of a major order for 50 machines from Himatsingka, says Mr. Zanon.
“Due to the high flexibility of our looms, we are present on all segments of market included Technical Fabrics. Our major share of business comes from segments like Terry Towel, Shawls, Silk, Upholstery and Shirting. Considering the future potential in the Indian market, Smit is planning to open a trading office in India soon”, he adds.
