Measure Mech (Director Mr.Kairav Shah)
Measure Mech has been supplying brakes, inverters and crane cabinets throughout India since 2010. We compete with quality rather than price, and we mainly deal with German and Japanese products. As factories become automated, the demand for sensors and the like is increasing. Currently, it is regularly imported from Korea, but it is said to be in small quantities. In particular, he said it would be good to find a Korean supplier related to automation such as sensors and detectors.

PRIMA EQUIPMENTS (Mr.Pritesh Shah, President)
Prima Equipment has been in business since 1992 in Gujarat. The company supplies sensor products for factory automation, such as detection systems and monitoring systems, to factories. Recently, the Indian industry is investing heavily in sensor technology such as factory automation to obtain high-quality products in a limited time. We are purchasing excellent products from Korea, Japan and Germany. In particular, many Indian companies that competed with manpower are trying to improve productivity through technology introduction. Sensors in particular market demand are pressure measurement, temperature, gas detectors and torque sensors. According to Mr.Pritesh Shah, the reason for the increase in demand is that India's production is increasing rapidly due to the growth of mid-sized enterprises, the increase in industrialization and the shortage of international industrial volumes.

Vanshubh Industries Pvt Ltd (Mr. Premal Patel, Director)
Vanshubh Industries deals with air handling units, portable oxygen unit cooling components. It is said that it has been importing from Korea for the past 7 years. Gujarat is the largest pharmaceutical manufacturing state in India and is a major manufacturing area for healthcare-related products. Due to COVID-1919, the demand for oxygen is high and the government is promoting the establishment of oxygen manufacturing plants by more than 50% compared to the existing ones. Oxygen concentration is an easy alternative to cylinders and is in high demand and is widely used not only in hospitals but also in home quarantine. The Indian healthcare industry is upgrading with excellent equipment and instruments in the wake of COVID-19.

implication
Industrial Expo Dahej 2021 was attended by companies from various fields as an industrial exhibition. The fields of the participating companies are analyzed as follows.
A striking feature is that a significant number of companies exhibit for factory automation. This means that factories in India are gradually shifting from manual work to using equipment. As it has the world's second largest population, it has been producing with cheap manpower, but now it is expanding production through precision machinery. Prima's president Shah said that for the time being, jobs will be concentrated in countries with high production capacity due to a lack of production, and that factory automation is an essential gateway to digest the influx of quantities. And since Korea is recognized by Indians as a technology country, if it can preoccupy the market well, it will be a win-win structure for both India and Korea.
