Technical Training & Research Centre (TTRC)(A division of LOHIA CORP LIMITED)

A New Dimension for the Raffia Industry

Skill Training Education Competency

LOHIA CORP LIMITED (LCL), formerly known as Lohia Starlinger Limited incorporated in 1981, is engaged in manufacture of complete range of machines required by the plastic woven fabric industry and is an undisputed leader amongst machine manufacturers of this industry. At present, it is not only enjoying over 60% of market share in India, but has also earned a reputation of being the world’s leading manufacturer of such equipment. Its projects are running successfully in over 60 countries around the world and this accomplishment has been possible due to the Group’s continuous emphasis on quality and innovation.

The need for trained manpower or skill development for the raffia industry has been highlighted in various forums from time to time. To cater to the imperative need of formal training, this centre has been set up to train and produce operators, supervisors / production executives for the raffia industry. Thus, to improve the technical competence of employed manpower, LCL has taken an initiative to establish the Technical Training and Research Centre (TTRC) at Kanpur. The notion of the ‘Technical Training Centre’ has evolved out of the LCL think-tank to integrate ‘2Ms - Machinery & Manpower’ to exclusively support the global raffia industry.
