INDUSTRIAL VISIT:
An industrial visit was planned to Suvrna Fibrotech Pvt Ltd, Bhosari MIDC, Pune
Participants reached the industry by the transportation arranged by VIIT, Pune. Participants saw
different products made out of FRP such as FRP Dashboard, FRP containers, box, cabinet, and
so on. There they showed live demonstration of making meter box for Reliance. Participants
witnessed all detailing about manufacturing of composite products.After introduction,
participants were divided into groups and were headed by respective company leaders who
helped them to understand how production is carried out in company and how company reaches
its customers. We got a chance to actually visualize all the fabrication process and their
implementation in the industries.
