SGRM :: About Sports Goods Raw Material & Machinery Expo

About the Jalandhar Sports Goods Cluster: 
The origin of the Jalandhar sports goods cluster can be traced back to Sialkot (now in Pakistan) that was the sports goods production centre in India’s pre-partition days. The Jalandhar Cluster is a unique example of a transplanted cluster, where a major segment (entrepreneurs, workers) of an existing cluster shifted to a new location due to political division of India in the year 1947. The items taken for manufacturing in the beginning were tennis, football, cricket bats, balls, field hockey, etc, with the passage of time new items were added, however, these items continue to have a stronghold. Jalandhar Sports Goods Cluster for  over 120 years of existence.
