Such versatility is presumed to complement the industry owing to wide acceptance of the product across multiple industries,” he stated. The industry players are constantly investing in R&D to develop innovative and novel products. “At GTFL, our ever increasing portfolio of innovative solutions are adding immense value to our customers.” “In the year gone by, overall the growth of technical textiles was muted given the broader macro-economic conditions. However, I feel that the next year is bound to see the sector back in its growth trajectory spurred by an uptick in demand and innovation,” he believes.
