A company with a long history, Organ Needle Co. Ltd., which set its foundation as a manufacturer of gramophone needles in Tokyo in 1920, has always addressed the need for technology development in a global market. Presently, Organ has a vast product basket of needles suitable for circular, flat and warp knitting. The company is among the market leaders in embroidery needles. The company was represented at KnitWorld by their agent Global Knitting Needs, and J. Karthikeyan from the company was delighted at the response that the products received. “Organ has entered this market only in 2013, but the response at the fair clearly tells that customers have started to identify Organ as a high quality brand,” says a satisfied looking Karthikeyan.
Besides leading global brands, the fair also witnessed a big turnout of Chinese needle manufacturers, yet Karthikeyan confidently said that Organ was under no pressure from them. “Organ is a Japanese company with almost 100 years experience in making needles. The only competition we have, be it in quality or sales, is from market leader Groz-Beckert,” he admitted. The company was displaying its innovative series of Vosapec flat knitting needles at the fair, targeting the specific needs of the industry.
Karthikeyan further asserts that Global Knitting Needs is optimistic to penetrate the Indian market riding on the efficiency of its 50 member service team.
