Swiss-based Santex Group, the leading manufacturer of textile machines for knit fabrics finishing, aims to improve the local sales organisation in India in the segment of technical textiles.

This month the company has appointed Jude Britto as Head of Sales for Technical Textiles and Emerging Technologies.

Mr Britto has been with Santex Engineering India PVT, the wholly-owned subsidiary of the Santex Group in Coimbatore, for nearly 11 years. This new sales setup allows the company to be in direct contact with its partners and discuss potential new projects. At the same time this will ensure continuous support and service in the Indian market.
