EEPC India Annual event – International Engineering Sourcing Show – the only global display of India’s capability in Hard Core Metal and Metal Based Engineering will turn eleven four days from now on March 4th here at Codissia Trade Fair Complex where it will held over three days March 4-6.

Aimed at reducing dependence on traditional markets, developing internal markets within India, forging partnerships and joint ventures, strengthening commercial relations and accelerating trade between India and its trading partners and providing platform for foreign organisations to showcase their strength and capabilities in a large developing market, IESS has evolved as the exposition of indigenous engineering skills to the world

This year EEPC India has chosen #SmartSustainableEngineering as the theme , reflecting the current convergence of two critical trends in the manufacturing industry of Smart Manufacturing and Sustainable Manufacturing. While Smart manufacturing has been trending for over a decade now, Sustainable manufacturing is a recent focus among engineering fraternity. It aims to minimize the environmental impact of manufacturing at the product cycle, from resource extraction and production to product use and disposal.

Smart and sustainable manufacturing are not mutually exclusive, but rather complementary. Aatmanirbhar Bharat vision is based on the principle of long term sustainable economic development of the economy and manufacturers have to explore innovative ways to become more sustainable. Or we can say, innovations needs to be adopted responsibly proclaimed Mr Arun Kumar Garodia, Chairman, EEPC India at the Inauguration of IESS XI here today
