Birla Cellulose to hold 'Market Weeks' abroad to push exports

The Aditya Birla Group will support its textiles business partners to tap key international initiatives like 'Market Weeks' and 'Mill Weeks' to boost export of fabrics from the country to the West.
This is planned as the next phase of the ongoing initiative under Liva Accredited Partners Forum (LAPF), being spearheaded by the Birla Group arm Birla Cellulose, which is the world's largest viscose staple fibre manufacturer with close to 95 per cent market share.
Birla Cellulose will take up the global marketing drive along with its partners and has already has roped in some big industry names for this, including Mafatlal and Mercury, among 250 other brands as partners.

A key element of this international marketing is holding 'Market Weeks' and 'Mill Weeks in key foreign markets, the company said.
The Market Week is a key market-making initiative in the US where wholesale buyers meet with their global suppliers with the latest market trends that help them gauge the evolving consumer sentiment.
Some of the other big textile manufacturers who have joined hands with the Birlas' initiative include Shreeji, Karuna Tex, Svarn Tex, MI Industries and VSM, who will work with the group in creating a better value chain for the industry.

Liva was launched in March 2015 for high quality fabrics

made using natural cellulosic fibres of Aditya Birla Group, delivered through an accredited value chain.
The fabric brand was launched to help the group realise its vision of connecting better with its end-consumers in the viscose staple fibre business.
"We will help LAPF partners to promote their products at the international forum by enabling them to take part at different marketing fora, apart from helping them with design developments and technology," Birla Cellulose's President for Marketing and Business Development Manohar Samuel told
