Khurja boasts over 300 manufacturing units engaged in tableware crockery and technical ceramics, that provide employment to more than 30,000 skilled and unskilled workers.
The design studio was inaugurated today at Khurja, by Harsha Bangari, Managing Director, India Exim Bank.
The 3D design studio offers several benefits to the 250+ local pottery units who are members of KPMA, by providing access to state-of-the-art technology and expert guidance.
The studio will empower them to experiment with new designs, reduce production costs, and improve the overall quality of their products.
