Making Spinning Smarter – Unveiling Smart Can Technology at ITMA Barcelona, 2019

“Innovation has always played a role at Jumac, be it 40 years ago or today, or tomorrow. It is in our DNA”, says Himanshu Fogla, Director at Jumac Manufacturing, as he unveiled the Smart Can App at the ITMA textile exhibition.

Jumac unveils ‘Smart Can’ technology that will help spinning mill owners to manage the sliver cans smartly.

In the recently concluded franchise of ITMA 2019 at Barcelona, Jumac Manufacturing made its maiden appearance with a buzz. Jumac has been in the manufacturing of Cans since 1974. Once a pioneer in the aluminium cans manufacturing for the jute industry, Jumac was one of the earlier players to introduce HDPE Sliver Cans for the Textile industry. Today Jumac is one of the major brands in Spinning Cans from India, exporting to 16 countries globally. Here is a quick chat of their experience at ITMA.

The first question, why at ITMA?

Well, Jumac Manufacturing is one of the pioneers in the Spinning Can industry in the Indian Domestic market. Over the last 10 years, we have concentrated on our exports and have successfully placed our products in emerging markets like Vietnam, Uzbekistan, Indonesia, Turkey, Egypt, Bangladesh, Pakistan and more. We have closely watched the demands of the international market and have worked on our product to be truly world-class. It was time to go all out aggressively on the global stage. Participation at ITMA 2019 was just the first step.

“Jumac is always proactive to listen to customer’s and agent’s concerns and come out with solutions in record time. This is what I appreciate” – Alishar Dada Global Exim Trade (Agent in Uzbekistan)

How was the experience at ITMA 2019?

ITMA is the largest event globally for the Textile industry. Spinning mill owners from the world visit ITMA. Because it was our maiden appearance, our focus was to let the global industry be aware of our brand. We had hundreds of spinning mill owners walk into our stall to experience our products. This also included our existing customers, some of whom we had never met before. Also, we went through the fair to get acquainted about the Industry, other players, OEMs and what are the new trends coming up in the industry globally. Overall, it was a great experience for Jumac. But this is just a part of a huge exercise. 

“Thrilled to see Jumac at the world stage. It will boost the brand and help more sales in the domestic market” – Ayush Jain Ayush Agencies (Agent from Indore, India)

Share about Smart Can Technology?

Innovation has always played a role at Jumac, be it 40 years ago or today, or tomorrow. It is in our DNA. While over the last 15 years we have focused on the quality of the product, be it better HDPE sheets, better springs, casters and so on, it was time we focus on the Service innovation.
We studied on several areas of service concerns from our agents and customers, from order tracking to access, to product’s technical details on the floor, to service delays and service issues. A dedicated team was appointed who have worked more than 10,000 hours, to come up with the “Smart Can” App. And this is just version 1. Future might see you monitoring your Sliver Cans live from your mobile.

“Jumac has a good product. We have almost zero complaints from our customers on the product. I feel the smart can app is a great initiative” – Mustafa Celenk Muteks (Agent in Turkey)

How was the response? And what are the next plans?

Oh! We had a phenomenal response. Not just the visitors, our existing customers, our agents, all were excited about the Smart Can. It was truly motivating for the team at Jumac. And our next focus will be to implement the technology across all our customers globally.

“As a company, ITMA 2019 was a learning experience for all of us. Our first participation was memorable and we expect to come back with more buzz at Milan 2023” says Surendra Sharma, CEO, Jumac Manufacturing.
