COIMBATORE: A sub-contract exchange for wet grinder manufacturers here has been inaugurated on the Coimbatore Wet Grinder and Accessories Manufacturers Association (COWMA) premises. Set up at a cost of Rs. 4.7 lakh, the aim of the exchange is to help the members get more orders.
Cluster programme
The association has created a website for its members under the cluster programme, which is on in association with the Small Industries Service Institute (SISI). Some members have individual pages on the site and the orders received from overseas clients can be disseminated to the members through the exchange. It will also help the members share the excess raw materials that the units have.
Sanctioned
The Centre has sanctioned Rs. 16 lakh this year under the cluster programme and Rs. 5 lakh of this will be allotted for design development. The association plans to involve an external agency to develop new designs. A major portion of the amount will be used for marketing, says the SISI Cluster Development Agent, V. Ramakrishnan.
Food melas
The SISI and the COWMA will organise an international visit and conduct two food melas in the North Indian markets this year as part of the activities to increase market for wet grinders. The Principal Director of the National Institute for Small Industries Extension Training, Chukka Kondiah, inaugurated the exchange.
