Why Join Pakistan Aerospace Council

/in

Join Pakistan Aerospace Council (PAeC) to
Boost your Business as well as Economy of our Beloved Country

One of the many ways you can enhance your business, brand image, and impact policies is by joining a trade association. Clustering has always been a part of the history of economic activity and clusters are affecting economic growth. Competition of course continues, but being part of the cluster gives so many benefits rather than continuing business alone. Clustering is a recognized way to enhance productivity, innovation, and competitive performance of companies. The developing cluster can bring so many benefits to companies involved in cluster work. Clusters can allow small companies to combine advantages with various benefits. Clustering is about nurturing the environment to enable companies to develop.  Smaller companies can achieve commercial gains on the coattails of other, probably larger, successful companies. Hence, the clusters are important operators in a region’s economic growth. It is obvious that being part of a cluster, the company benefits. However, one has to remember that the company receives benefits only if it is actively involved in the work. The more company invests, the more it gets.

Pakistan Aerospace Council (PAeC) is a not-for-profit constellation for enterprises active in the aerospace, defence, and hi-tech mechanical/electronics market. PAeC is working for the global promotion of high-value addition and high technology manufacturers of Pakistan while meeting the national needs for technology acquisition as well as export-led, sustainable growth of Pakistani Aerospace and hi-tech Industries.

(e)  Win Recognition with Pakistani as well as Global Customers

Pakistan Aerospace Council provides the member companies opportunities to win recognition with Pakistani as well as global customers.  Mr warum schau hier nicht. Imtiaz Rastgar, Founder of Pakistan Aerospace Council, visited European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), Geneva to present to them the possibilities of sourcing from Pakistan’s hi-tech cluster.  As a result, a four-member senior team from CERN including their head of procurement Dr. Anders Unnervik have recently visited Pakistan to interact with the private hi-tech manufacturing industry. Pakistan Aerospace Council hosted the delegation in collaboration with National Centre for Physics. More than 25 hi-tech manufacturing companies attended the event under the umbrella of the Pakistan Aerospace Council and gave presentations about their companies, products, skills, and expertise. Dr. Andres Unnervik, Director of Procurement at CERN showed keen interest in doing business with Pakistani companies.

Subsequently, Pakistani companies also visited CERN to understand and assess their requirements. Some member companies are doing excellent business with CERN. Moreover, PAeC has also made possible participation of its members in other international industry exhibitions.

(f)  Good Public Relations

PAeC aims for a good image and public reputation.  Having a good public reputation reflects all of its members. So the members also get to be viewed as a trusted and established brand or individual which ultimately results in boosting the business.

(g)  Quality Standards

PAeC follows certain rules and standards that are applicable to all of the members. These rules are codes of best practices that promote a healthy business environment.  So if a brand or an individual is a member of the PAeC, it means that it has passed the code of best practices of the Council. This is a good reflection of the image of the company.

Mexican Auto Parts Makers to Collaborate with Counterparts in Pakistan

/in ,

Mexico’s auto parts industries would collaborate with their Pakistani counterparts to tap the vast potential of the country’s auto-vending sector that needs more international exposure.

Such an agreement was reached through a series of four webinars held to enhance the understanding between the two country’s industries and to develop a roadmap to create a mutual understanding.

Shabana Aziz, Pakistan’s Commercial Councilor posted in Mexico had been working with the key stakeholders of the Mexican automotive industry and was able to arrange relevant representatives to meet with Pakistani representatives.

Mexico is the 7th largest automotive producer in the world. One of the big auto parts distributors like VAZLO would be attractive for Pakistani auto parts manufacturers.

Mashood Khan, an automotive specialist, discussed the current strengths of Pakistan’s auto engineering industry and also shared many areas where mutual cooperation could start and gradually increase reseña.

“During the webinars, opportunities were found in the forging and rubber parts segments in Mexico”, Khan said and added that some companies had contacted auto parts manufacturers in Pakistan and initial queries were started. “This is the beginning because in engineering goods the gestation period to mature business takes a certain time,” he added. He said other areas discussed in the webinar included how the industry was doing in COVID, and what policies had the Mexican government introduced to enhance the industry in different ways.
