World Tea & Coffee Expo 2013 to Highlight Tremendous Growth Potential of the Hot Beverages Sector in India

* Global Hot Beverages market expected to reach $125 billion by 2017, growing at an estimated 10.9% annually from 2012 to 2017. * Over 10,000 Trade Visitors expected.

Mumbai, India, December 06, 2012 — The World Tea & Coffee Expo 2013, ( http://www.worldteacoffeeexpo.com ) being held at Mumbai, India from 15th – 17th Feb 2013 with over a 100 exhibitors from 8 countries, is expected to highlight the tremendous potential of the Hot Beverages sector – both in India and globally. Internationally, the market for RTD (Ready to Drink) tea and coffee in terms of revenue is expected to reach US $125 billion by 2017 as against US $69 billion in 2011 (estimated) signaling an anticipated annual growth of 10.9 % 2012 to 2017.

The World tea & Coffee Expo 2013 (WTCE 2013) has received very good response from Exhibitors as also pre-registered visitors in view of the fact that this is the only trade show in India dedicated to the Tea & Coffee sectors and has a judicious mix of Indian & International Exhibitors. On display shall be products, brands & technologies from across the world comprising of Tea & Coffee Manufacturers, Tea Gardens & Coffee Estates, Tea & Coffee Wholesalers & Dealers, Exporters & Importers, Raw Materials Suppliers & Manufacturers, Sweetener Manufacturers, Machinery MFRs & Packaging companies, Chain Stores / Franchisors, Fine Chocolate & Gourmet Mint MFRs, Processors & Processing machinery MFRs, Tea / Coffee Vending Machines Manufacturers, Flavoured Beverages Manufacturers and Manufacturers of Equipment & Appliances.

Leading Trade Bodies like Tea Board of India. (Govt of India), Federation of Indian Tea Traders Association (FAITTA), Bombay Tea Traders Association (BTTA), India-China Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Small and Medium Business Development Chamber of India, Confederation of Indian Small Tea Growers Assoc (CISTA) and Darjeeling Tea Association are supporting this unique trade event.

Says Priti Kapadia, Director, Sentinel Exhhibitions P Ltd, the organizers of this event, “Among the most popular beverages around the world, the Tea and Coffee sectors provide employment to several million workers worldwide, both in plantation activities, as well as in indirect and allied activities. Rising consumer awareness about the health hazards of carbonated drinks is leading to a shift towards RTD tea and coffee. Another major driver is surge in the health conscious population who prefer antioxidant property of RTD tea or the instant energy of coffee.”

Companies in the last decade have positioned the RTD tea and coffee market as recreational products, which has proved beneficial in attracting younger population. Advancements in technology and production efficiencies are likely to lead to lower labour costs. Furthermore, the focus on high-protein, low-sugar diets is stimulating demand for green tea, ground coffee and artificial sweeteners, which have shown strong signs of promise over the past three years.

The top two tea producing nations – China and India, collectively produce about 60% of total global tea output. India is the second-largest tea producer and consumer after China and fourth largest tea exporter after Kenya, China, and Sri Lanka. The key coffee producing and exporting nations are Brazil, Vietnam, Columbia, Indonesia, Ethiopia, and India, among others. Brazil is the world’s largest producer, exporter and consumer of coffee.

Adds Kapadia, “Wider health awareness, a burgeoning middle-class population with busy lifestyles and increase in disposable income is making consumers opt for RTD tea and coffee. In spite of the deteriorating global economic climate in the last few years, the Hot Beverage sector has remained resilient as improvements in transportation and the extension of the shelf life of products backed by continued product innovation and aggressive marketing initiatives is contributing to the growth of this industry. Some segments like premium and organic coffee and green/herbal tea have created an entirely new market.”

With the display of new technologies at the WTCE 2013 ( http://www.worldteacoffeeexpo.com ), Indian companies will be able to fulfill their need of investing in modernization and improving quality so as to consolidate gains and improve their global competitiveness. The trade show shall also include Seminars with speakers form leading boards, companies and brands. These seminars will offer strategic review of major factors influencing the market e.g. new product developments, consumer trends, packaging innovations, distribution and pricing issues etc. The speakers shall also forecast how the market is set to change and criteria for future success.

WTCE 2013 will serve as the ideal platform not only for showcasing Indian Tea & Coffee brands and technologies but also for International companies to seek market expansion & branding prospects in India. The event will thus serve the twin purpose of acting as a sourcing platform for Indian companies and as marketing avenue for seeking international buyers. The event shall facilitate striking of deals, joint ventures and signing of major contracts. In view of the uniqueness of the show, it is expected to be attended by over 10,000 trade buyers and general visitors.

India’s per capita tea consumption stands at 711 grams per head during 2011. However, this is considerably lower than other tea drinking nations such as Ireland (3 kg), more than 2 kg in U.K., Turkey, and Iraq, and more than 1 kg in Sri Lanka and Pakistan. This signifies remarkable potential in domestic tea consumption. The domestic coffee consumption too has been continuously growing at annual average rate of 6% and is largely on account of a thriving Independent upscale café culture. Domestic coffee outlets – which have a lot of appeal for the new generation – are set to increase multi-fold within next 3 years and the foray of global players such Starbucks and Dunkin’ Donuts in India can only herald a strong growth trend in future. India, which exports more than two-thirds of its coffee output, grows coffee primarily in its Southern part.

The principal organizer of the show is Sentinel Exhibitions Asia P Ltd [SEA], a part of the Sentinel media group. Headquartered in Mumbai (India), SEA is engaged in organizing International Business Conferences and Trade Expos. The co-organizer is Mumbai-based M/s Alex Events, an event execution company since the last 8 years.

SmartTOP Convertible Top Module for Mercedes-Benz SLK, CLK & SL With Added Function

The SmartTOP add-on module for Mercedes-Benz SLK type R171, CLK type A209 and SL type R230 allows the convertible top to be opened and closed while driving with a one touch function. The top can also be operated from the original key fob. Now Mods4cars has added an additional function to their product: The window positions after top operation can be programmed.

Las Vegas, NV (USA), December 05, 2012 — The SmartTOP aftermarket convertible top module offered by Mods4cars allows the opening and closing of the roof while driving at speeds of up to 60 km/h (37mph). Thanks to the one-touch function, a short key press on the console button is all that is required to operate the top. Additionally, one-touch roof top handling is possible from the original key fob.

Mods4cars has now added an additional function to their convertible top module: The window positions after roof top opening can be programmed. By configuring the module, the customers can decide whether they want to have the windows opened or closed after top operation.

“The new function makes it possible to program the module more precisely according to our customers’ desires.” says PR manager Sven Tornow. “Convertible drivers who want to enjoy the feeling of an open car can program the module so that the windows are down after opening the roof. Drivers who want to drive more comfortably can program the windows to be closed. The new function makes any additional use of the window buttons obsolete.” declares Sven Tornow.

Also existing customers can benefit from this added function. The SmartTOP modules come equipped with a standard USB connection, which allows installation of free firmware updates offered by Mods4cars on their home page. Every SmartTOP owner can benefit from future function extensions.

The SmartTOP module offers many more features: The windows can be opened and closed separately via remote key fob and by one-touch function just with a double click. If desired, a short chirp can sound after using the central locking. And having the module automatically lock and unlock the doors while driving is an option, too. As a coming-home-light the headlights can be activated via remote key fob. Starting the engine or turning the ignition off while the top is moving will not interrupt the operation. The complete removal of the entire kit is possible at any time.

From Alfa via Audi, Bentley, BMW, Ferrari, Ford, Infiniti, Mazda, Mercedes-Benz, Mini, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault, Volvo up to VW, Mods4cars offers SmartTOP modules for nearly every convertible car or roadster. Also for the previous types SLK R170, SL R129 and the follow up types SLK R172, SL R231 and the E-Class convertible.

The SmartTOP module for Mercedes-Benz SLK type R171, CLK type A209 and SL type R230 is available for 249 Euros + tax.

A demonstration of the module in action can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uekfJrwWcA8

Further details and purchasing information can be found at: http://www.mods4cars.com

About Mods4cars:
Mods4cars was founded in 2002 with the idea to add a highly demanded feature to the otherwise almost perfect Porsche Boxster: Comfort One-Touch roof operation while driving at slow speeds. The resulting product offered not only that, but also allowed quick and easy installation by just swapping out a relay box, thus leaving no traces and no permanent changes on the vehicle. The first SmartTOP roof controller was born.

The success of their first products in Germany and Europe prompted them in late 2004 to move operations to the USA, to be able to serve the American market as well as all other English speaking countries such as Australia, UK and South Africa from one central location. Their business has grown to a full-fledged international corporation with an office in Las Vegas and a full line of innovative products as well as distributors and installation partners all over the globe.

Being highly specialized in the development and distribution of aftermarket roof- and comfort controllers since 2002 allows them to offer an unsurpassed level of competence and product quality. Their main goal is optimization of each individual product to a maximum in compatibility, usability and intuitive operation. They put greatest effort into development and quality checks of all their products to achieve this goal and meet all expectations of their customers.

The extraordinary success of their products is also based on the great communication with their customers, which usually already starts for each new product during the development and prototyping phase.

Bangalore, India, December 06, 2012 — Naveen Lakkur, along with Lone Tree Publishers launched his brainchild ‘Inseparable Twins’ on 25th November 2012. The book launch was held at Lalit Ashok Bangalore.

About the book
Inseparable Twins
Paired Principles to Inspire Young Minds
Innovation resides in everyone. Innovative potential in a person cannot be fully realized if it is not properly nurtured. It takes determined efforts to do so. If that spirit is not cultivated in a timely and disciplined manner, then a person may lose faith in his/her ability or even struggle needlessly. Naveen Lakkur created this book with his unique set of a dozen paired codes primarily to rekindle that innate energy in every one of us; to enable all members of a team working towards a shared goal to realize their full potential and enjoy their journey towards that goal, be it an intrapreneurial or entrepreneurial mission. It is especially targeted at young minds that have that unstoppable zeal so as to help them avoid many of the hurdles and pitfalls that they will encounter in the pursuit of any ambitious goal.

Everyone has limited time and the attention span is even less these days. Yet, there is one communication system that continues to capture the time, attention and imagination of human beings since the dawn of mankind – and that is the art of story-telling. Rather than offer these twin principles in a dry, academic, typically business book way, the author is offering them to you in the form of a set of parables in an easy to read and lucid style. These are interesting stories unraveling these paired tenets through the experienced eyes of two elephants, Appy & Proppy, whose chance meeting with a man called Lucky stimulates a series of conversations about the twelve twins. Each one of the twelve paired thoughts has the potential to inspire anyone to renew their energy that power People, Purpose & Performance.

You can visit the facebook page of the book here

About the author Naveen Lakkur:
Naveen Lakkur, an entrepreneur, an enabler, and an energizer. “Converting Creative Concepts into Commerce with Compassion” is a one-line intro of Naveen. With over 20 years of professional experience spread worldwide, he has been instrumental in fostering over 24 concepts to have become commercial realities globally. He is very passionate about fostering Social Entrepreneurs and actively participates in social projects with the objective of making life a wonderful one to live.

NanoMarkets Issues Latest Report on Opportunities for Flexible Glass

NanoMarkets today announced the release of its report titled “Markets for Flexible Glass 2013” that analyzes and quantifies the opportunities for this novel material.

Glen Allen, Virginia – December 6, 2012 — Industry analyst firm NanoMarkets today announced the release of its report titled “Markets for Flexible Glass 2013” that analyzes and quantifies the opportunities for this novel material. NanoMarkets estimates that the market potential for flexible glass will surpass $600 million (USD) in 2017 with OLED displays and lighting becoming major growth factors within the business starting in 2018. Additional details about the report are available at: http://nanomarkets.net/market_reports/report/flexible_glass_markets_2013_and_beyondt.

About the Report:

Within the report NanoMarkets examines the product development and marketing strategies of the major players in the development and commercialization of flexible glass within the global glass industry. Major glass firms discussed include Corning, Nippon Electric Glass, Schott, Asahi Glass Company. We identify which firms are the “companies to watch” and which will be the likely winners and losers in the rise of flexible glass space.

The report also contains detailed, eight-year forecasts, in area (millions of square meters) and value ($US millions) terms of flexible glass used for both substrates and for encapsulation broken out application. Forecasts are also broken out by device format, i.e. in terms of rigid vs. flexible panels.

Applications covered include:
– LCDs
– OLED displays
– E-Paper displays
– OLED lighting
– Photovoltaic (PV) panels, and
– Sensors (including touch sensors) and other, electronic components.

From the Report:

In the past year, the flexible glass sector has expanded its commercialization efforts, and most of the major glass firms have ramped up activities. Global glass giant Corning officially released its 100 µm-thick Willow Glass – in roll, sheet, and ITO-coated sheet form – in 2012, and is targeting lightweight products in the display sector. Meanwhile, Asahi Glass, NEG, and Schott have also continued their efforts to commercialize thin, flexible glass products, for applications in displays, touch sensors, and PV panels.

The most immediate selling point for flexible glass is that it has the potential to provide a lighter-weight and lower-cost alternative to rigid glass for the burgeoning mobile communications and computing sectors. The firm cautions that flexible glass prices today remain quite high and they will need to come down substantially for flexible glass to meet its potential and gain widespread adoption.

Other findings from the report include:

– The overall flexible glass market is expected to be valued at about $130 million in 2013, and the value is expected to exceed $2.1 billion by the end of the forecast period in 2020.

– The value of flexible glass used in intrinsically flexible devices (flexible displays, flexible solar panels, etc.) is expected to grow from a value of only about $7 million in 2013 to more than $260 million by 2020, or about 13 percent of the total market value.

– OLEDs – both displays and lighting – are expected to be a key growth area for flexible glass, since the material can be used both as a flexible substrate and to provide superior barrier performance. The market for flexible glass in OLEDs is expected to have a value of about $4 million in 2013, and the value is expected to grow to nearly $700 million by 2020, thereby accounting for about one-third of the total market for flexible glass.

About NanoMarkets:

NanoMarkets tracks and analyzes emerging market opportunities in solid-state lighting, energy, electronics and other markets created by developments in advanced materials. The firm is a recognized leader in industry analysis and forecasts of this kind.
