Albstadt, Germany-based Groz-Beckert has strengthened its customer outreach with the inauguration of a new sales office in Surat, Gujarat, India, on October 15, 2023. 

Surat, often referred to as the "Textile and Silk City" of India, boasts a rich history in textile production dating back to the 16th century. 

This expansion is a strategic move to enhance support for clients in the knitting and sewing industries, particularly in circular knitting and warp knitting, in a region renowned for its textile prowess.

Surat is a thriving textile hub, generating approximately 25 million meters of fabrics daily and playing a pivotal role in Gujarat's economic growth. 

Groz-Beckert's move underscores the city's significance as the epicenter of textile manufacturing in India and demonstrates the company's commitment to serving the burgeoning market and its skilled workforce.
