IMPS booth Igus IndiaIgus, Motion Plastics giant, has announced a growth plan and strategy in the backdrop of 20 years of its operations in India.

As the 9th largest market globally and the 3rd largest market in the APAC region, igus India has consistently been recording double digit growth during the past many years, except the pandemic year. In the current year, the company is growing at 30% above the previous record year on average.

igus India hopes to double its revenues to Rs 300 crore in the next 3-4 years. Among a host of plans to drive growth in the next phase, igus India has introduced a “virtual show booth” replete with its entire set of products which is available for customers to be viewed, tried and tested both through virtually and physically.

The innovative virtual booth targets to provide customers an immersive experience similar to a face-to-face expo with an option to interact with product experts.

Virtual trade show

The first such innovative virtual trade show was set up at igus’s global headquarters in Cologne, Germany. After this successful event spanning 400 sq.m in Germany that hosted more than 100,000 visitors from across the world, igus India creates its own IMPS virtual show booth exclusively for its customers in the Indian Sub-continent.
