ET BEST METAL CUTTING AND FORMING BRANDS 2021

The Economic Times organised Best Brands in Metal Cutting and Metal Forming Awards in Bengaluru. The initiative was appreciated by the audience as it was the first on-ground event after two years.

The who’s who of the Indian metal cutting and forming industry had started arriving nearly an hour before the announcement of ET Best Brands in Metal Cutting and Forming ceremony was to go underway. Although a hush descended over the assembly once the ceremony kicked off with the lighting of the ceremonial lamp, the general excitement could barely be suppressed. Rahul Kamat, Editor – B2B Division, Worldwide Media (The Times of India Group), set the tone for the event, saying, “This initiative is designed to bring various innovations and disruptions under the metal cutting and forming umbrella with an eclectic mix of the panel discussion, keynotes and eventually highlighting the success stories from the metal cutting and forming segment in India.”

Meanwhile, Anjum Parwez, Managing Director, Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd reminded the audience about the importance of the metal cutting and forming industry in the growth and development of the Indian manufacturing sector. “Today, more than 45-47 percent of our machines, which are used in metal curring and forming are imported. So this one industry I realized that there is tremendous scope for growth. A lot of support has been given by the state and central government to enhance the growth of the metal cutting industry,” he said during his special address.
