PICANOL PRESENCE IN INDIA
Picanol has been successfully serving the Indian market since 1956. In view of the potential
and expected growth of the Indian market, Picanol decided to set up its own organization in India
early 2008 in order to more actively support its local activities. Since the start of its presence,
but particularly during the last decade, Picanol has been focussing strongly on local sales and
service activities.
In recent years, Picanol India has seen a steady growth in its market share, which has led to
it becoming the leading provider of weaving machines on the local market today. India is a market
of crucial importance for Picanol as it is one of the key textile markets in the world.
As part of its further commitment to the Indian Market and marking a new milestone in India,
Picanol inaugurated new headquarters in downtown New Delhi in August 2012. Next to the main office
in Delhi, regional offices in Mumbai and Coimbatore are proof of a strong Picanol presence in the
Indian market with a professional team of 35 people committed to serve Picanol customers.
With the broadest product range on the market, improved local services and considerable
presence, Picanol remains highly committed to India and plans to be the leading provider of weaving
systems for the entire Indian weaving sector.
