Recognizing the potential to create and deliver specialty products for this rapidly growing industry, we worked closely with CAD/CAM developers like Lectra (France) and Gerber Technologies USA, the right machinery and product was developed. Thus, Krishna Lamicoat Specialty Papers and Films was established in 1997.
