The association will book stalls in international trade fairs and market its members' products. Subsequently, small scale plastic manufacturers in Gujarat have decided that instead of competing with each other in the country, they will work together on a global platform to win large orders.
GSPMA has formed an International Exhibition Marketing Committee for this purpose. The committee will collect fee on subsidised rate to prepare booklets, catalogues and other product related materials for its members. Representatives of the GSPMA would distribute the materials to visitors in international trade fairs.
The first experiment in this regard has already been carried out in a trade fair at Durban. GSPMA had put their stall in `Plast Pack Africa-2008' international trade fair to support members who otherwise would not be able to afford to take part in the show.
Encouraged by the response to the fair in Durban, GSPMA will be participating in InterplasThailand 2008 Exhibition from June 19 to 22 for the benefit of members, said Amrit Patel, chairman of GSPMA International Exhibition Marketing Committee.
