    The Asian manufacturing industry has grown exponentially over the years especially automotive and electronics. This has resulted in an increase in the consumption of die & mould. The industry should come together to collaborate and this exhibition makes for a great platform.

    TAGMA CET Partner Meet

    TAGMA also organised ‘TAGMA CET Partner Meet’ on the sidelines of DMI 2018. Around 40 like-minded industry experts came together to discuss the growth path and further strengthen the Indian tooling industry with the help of TAGMA CET.

    TAGMA has been successfully organising trade shows, events, seminars and other activities keeping in mind the interests of the tooling industry.

    “We aim to make a difference and act as a growth catalyst for the industry. Keeping this in mind we came up with TAGMA CET. It is an effort to provide the best in class service to the industry,” said Sharma, President, TAGMA India.

    ‘TAGMA Centre of Excellence & Training (TAGMA CET)’ is an effort to support the growth of the industry. TAGMA set up TCET, also known as Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) at Chakan in Pune with active support from the Government of India and the Indian tooling industry. The pilot project will provide state-of-the-art technical inputs to the tool room industry in Pune. The Centre will also act as a Common Facility Centre for providing innovative solutions in the tooling sector to the industry ecosystem in and around the area.

    This centre will cater to the needs of MSME tool rooms in and around Pune for the supply of sheet metal dies, plastic moulds, die casting dies, jigs and fixtures as well as manufacturers of automotive components, electrical equipment, home appliances, consumer electronics, communication equipment and office equipment. These tool rooms will be able to use hitech manufacturing and try out facilities for the tools to be manufactured by them.

    It is funded by the Department of Heavy Industry (DHI) and TAGMA under the scheme of ‘Enhancement of Competitiveness in the Indian Capital Goods Sector’. After the pilot project, TAGMA aims to extend the facilities to provide such training at various cities across India. The ground breaking ceremony of the project was done by Honourable Shri. Anant Geete, Union Minister for Heavy Industries on April 22, 2016.
