Global fluid management company Kirloskar Brothers Ltd (KBL) will showcase its innovative fluid management solutions at the “Make in India” week to be held in Mumbai from 13th to 18th February, 2016.

The Pune-based manufacturing giant KBL will display some of its flagship products including LLC pump, i-NS, i-CM, Romak, Solar Pump and API 611 compliant steam turbine at hall no. 22, booth no. 17 at the event.

The event will be attended by the international delegates including the CEOs of Indian and global corporations, global trade associations, CXOs of Fortune 500 companies, heads of states, diplomats, policymakers, think tank members, economists and academia. Indian corporations – large and small – will be showcasing the potential of design, innovation and sustainability across India’s manufacturing sectors in the coming decade.

Mr Sanjay Kirloskar, chairman and managing director, KBL said, “We are glad to be a part of India’s most comprehensive and inspiring event for our country’s manufacturing sector. The “Make in India” week will certainly spark a renewed sense of pride in India’s manufacturing and take corporate and public participation to the next level. At KBL, we have been walking on the path of “Make in India” for the past 115 years and are looking forward to this opportunity to showcase some of our most innovative and successful products to the global audience. With other BRICS economies slowing down and international financial agencies predicting India to be the fastest growing large economy, all eyes are on India to drive global manufacturing. This platform will serve as a perfect meeting point allowing us to connect with experts and executives across industry sectors.”

The “Make in India” centre at the event will feature an exhibition of the most innovative products and manufacturing processes that have been developed in India. The space itself will be an avant-garde statement in design, merging the aesthetics of traditional craft with a futuristic vision. A showcase of Indian and global companies across key focus sectors is something that everyone is looking forward to.
