Tableware manufacturer Clay Craft India to set up skill development centre.

Clay Craft India, manufacturer and retailer of bone china and ceramic tableware, plans to set up a skill development centre at Ringus, Rajasthan.

The group aims to train 2,500 workers every year and in turn expects the growth of the industry by providing skilled workers to the fine bone china and ceramic industry.

As per industry sources, the Indian fine bone china and ceramic tableware industry’s size is nearly Rs 700 crore including organised and unorganised segments. Due to anti-dumping duty imposed on China by European countries, the export demand for Indian players is now growing at a rate of 30-35% compared to earlier years. To meet this increasing demand, it is also expected that Indian players will double their production capacity and skilled labour will also be required.

Rajesh Agarwal, director, Clay Craft India, said, “Indian fine bone china and ceramic industry is currently facing 50% shortage of skilled labour. To meet the industry growth, the skilled labour supply will be crucial point for any company’s management. Our aim is to generate the skilled workers for the industry and in turn this will also help the industry to develop the product quality standards to compete in international market.”
