Finnish workwear firm to sew up Indian talent.

For Juha Laurio, his company's growth plans for India are only one part of the story. The other lies in tapping the country's intellectual capital.

The President and CEO of Lindstrom, which specialises in supplying work-wear to companies, is upbeat about its next round of expansion.

The move will see the company setting up service centres in Assam and Gujarat, taking its total to nine. The other units are located in Delhi, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra and Punjab.

'This expansion is part of our efforts to cover all regions. It will bring Lindstrom close to its customer base, which includes industries such as electronics, engineering, automotive and pharmaceuticals,' Laurio told Business Line over the telephone from the company’s corporate headquarters in Helsinki, Finland.
