YnFx Textile Market Report Release: Edana returns to India to give its world famous training courses for a second time
After a successful launch in 2006, Edana, in co-operation with BCH, will organise its two highly-acclaimed nonwovens and absorbent hygiene products training courses, for the second time in India in December 2007.

/Mississippi News Articles/ - MUMBAI, INDIA, August 28, 2007 - Taking place during the week of 1st December 2007 in New Delhi, these 2-day training courses will provide a unique opportunity for India's newcomers to the industry, to quickly gain a complete understanding of the various technologies, processes, raw materials and market aspects of nonwovens and absorbent hygiene products.

These training courses have been successfully established by Edana in Europe and North America and have also been delivered by Edana's Technical and Education Director, Jean-Michel Anspach, in local language in France and Brazil. The courses will also be held for the fist time in Poland in October 2007.

Although designed primarily for marketing and technical/R&D executives from producers, suppliers and converters, it is expected that, because of India's emerging nonwovens industry, the training courses will again attract, as was the case for the first courses in India in 2006, the interest of potential investors and business executives who are considering entering this exciting sector.

The continuously updated training courses, containing exclusive copyrighted material and data, make extensive use of visuals and samples and each participating delegates receives a comprehensive set of notes and certificate once having completed the course. Innovations for the Indian version of the course will include product development exercises.

Registration for the training courses (Nonwovens: 3rd-4th December and Absorbent Hygiene Products: 5th-6th December), is on a "first come, first served basis". Each course will be limited to approximately 30 to 35 delegates, so early registration is advised. Priority will be given to last year's surplus candidates.

The first edition of Edana's training courses in India, which took place in November 2006, was attended by a record number of participants (40 for the nonwovens course and 30 for the absorbent hygiene products training course), whose comments included, 'Very comprehensive', 'Exhaustive', 'Informative and useful', 'Excellent overall!!', 'The right mix of theoretical and practical knowledge'.
Partnership for growth The training programme continues the series of courses that Edana is committed to offering in India in partnership with BCH.
BCH (Business Co-ordination House) is an Indian organisation which provides a comprehensive and vital resource of information, along with promotional activities, to their members for all areas of nonwovens and technical textiles under one roof, thus enhancing vertical & horizontal industry coordination and business expansion. They endeavour to empower the nonwovens and technical textile industries by creating a bridge that links various companies, entrepreneurs, students, academics and other stakeholders of the industry, from all across the globe.

Edana is committed to supporting the development of an Indian nonwovens industry in its own right, primarily oriented towards the domestic market through:
 offering educational activities (training courses, seminars, symposia...) to share the above vision; to help raise awareness among professional stakeholders of local and foreign (Edana member) companies; to help understand industry issues
 communicating on the distinct characteristics of the nonwovens industry, based on capital-intensive processes and specific end-uses, that makes its development path different from that of textiles
 helping set-up an INDIAN NONWOVENS PLATFORM to establish governmental relations and quality standards to support the industry growth
 participating in the organisation of appropriate promotional industry events, separate from textile shows and conferences
Growing Indian domestic market for nonwovens
With a population of over a billion people, of which above 300 million are middle class with high living standards and purchasing power, the potential for nonwovens products, such as feminine hygiene products, consumer wipes, diapers and other disposables, in India is huge. There is already a growth in nonwovens applications such as automotive, interlinings, agriculture and medical. Nonwoven geotextiles, especially, are expected to grow rapidly since over 10,000 kilometres of coastal roads are planned for the next five years. In addition, the Indian Government is undertaking a project to connect all the rivers in the country, making it the largest water project in the world.
Unlike textiles and garments, growth opportunities for the nonwovens industry in India do not only lie in an export-oriented investment policy, but rather more in the domestic market.
