The fabrics made in Surat, the biggest man-made fabric (MMF) destination in India, may soon leave a trail of its footprints in Israel. The possibility of this happening seems higher ever since a contingent of businessmen from Israel visited the city of Surat recently. The delegation was led by Israel’s Consul General David Akov.

One of the principal objectives of this delegation was to meet the businessmen across Surat so as to understand and explore the business opportunities that are prevalent in the textiles industry there.

Akov visited some of the major textile factories in the city to understand and collect all the information regarding the production of fabric. He also explored business opportunities, especially with regard to Israeli wholesalers and retailers. The visit seems to be yielding results considering that the highly advanced manufacturing facilities, as well as the working environment of the textile units situated in the industrial area of Pandesara ended up getting huge acclaim from the team of Israeli businessmen.  

Corroborating on the above, Sanjay Saraogi, MD, Laxmipati Group, expressed optimism about the joint venture between Israel and Indian textile manufacturers. If the collaboration happens, the local fabrics will be directly available in Israel. The interest to invest in India is huge among Israeli wholesalers and there is no denying that Surat is all set to floor the Israeli market with its fabrics.
