Metro looks for expansion partner

摘要

New Delhi-based tableware manufacturer, Metro Ceramics, has announced to AC that it is currently seeking partners to assist with the expansion of its ceramic tableware factory in Moradabad, northern India. Present output is concentrated on stoneware and runs to the level of 2m. pieces/annum using a continuous fired tunnel kiln. However, because of growing demand, both in the domestic market and overseas, Metro intends to extends its facilities through an investment of 30m. 40m. Rupees to encompass porcelain, earthenware and particularly bone china production. The intention would be that with an expanded and more diverse plant, the company could look to export up to 70 percent of its total output.
