About the Division

The Design and Development Centre in National Coir Research and Management Institute (NCRMI) is equipped with an art in-house machine shop & design centre to address all R&D mechanical project needs. The approach allows the institute to take on a single point of accountability, allowing for improved control over the manufacturing process and a shorter total lead time for the demand. The goal of the centre is to develop and test innovative coir machines as well as technology transfer. The design and development centre act as a one-stop shop for all product design and development activities for the coir industry as a destination for designing and prototyping.
