In an exclusive interaction with Wire & Cable India, Mr. Vikas Yadav, Chief Marketing Officer, Vikas Spool Private Limited, shares that India is capable of delivering high-volume, consistent-quality packaging solutions for critical wire and cable applications, backed by strong manufacturing depth and reliable supply capabilities. He adds that Vikas Spool is contributing to this momentum by offering both standard and customised spool and reel solutions, helping manufacturers reduce packaging costs without compromising performance.
Wire & Cable India: What will you showcase at WIRE Düsseldorf to highlight India’s technological capabilities and manufacturing excellence to a global audience?
Vikas Yadav: At WIRE Düsseldorf 2026, Vikas Spool will showcase its range of plastic and steel reels developed specifically for the wire and cable industry. A key focus will be our 100% recycled ABS plastic spools. These are accurate in dimensions, balanced and provide dependable strength for fine metal wires.
Our participation will highlight India’s capability to combine scale manufacturing with responsible material usage, supported by in-house recycling, strong process control, and the ability to develop new spool designs quickly based on customer requirements.

WCI: International trade fairs play a crucial role in shaping industry collaborations. How do platforms like WIRE Düsseldorf help Indian manufacturers connect with global markets and customers?
VY: WIRE Düsseldorf provides Indian manufacturers with direct access to global wire and cable producers who are actively looking for reliable and cost-effective supply partners. For companies like ours, it enables face-to-face technical discussions, product evaluation, and faster qualification with international customers. These platforms help shorten the distance between capability and opportunity.
WCI: From your participation at WIRE Düsseldorf, what key global market insights are you hoping to gain and bring back to strengthen India’s wire and cable manufacturing ecosystem?
VY: We aim to better understand global expectations around spool packaging performance, dimensional tolerances, material preferences, and sustainability benchmarks. Insights into how international customers evaluate reels and spools for high-speed and fine-wire applications will help us further refine our designs and quality systems to meet global benchmarks.
India serves as our global manufacturing base due to its strong industrial ecosystem, availability of skilled workforce, and cost competitiveness. From India, we can supply large volumes of standardized as well as customized spools to multiple geographies.
WCI: Over the years, how have you seen India’s representation evolve at international trade fairs, and how do you contribute to strengthening India’s image as a global engineering hub?
VY: India’s presence has grown from being primarily cost-driven to being capability-driven. More Indian companies now present engineered products rather than only commodities. We contribute by demonstrating that India can deliver high-volume, consistent-quality packaging solutions for critical wire and cable applications, supported by strong manufacturing depth and dependable delivery.
WCI: What core Indian manufacturing strengths differentiate you on the global stage? For what turnkey solutions is the world looking at India?
VY: India’s strengths lie in scalable manufacturing, skilled manpower, and adaptability to customer-specific requirements. At Vikas Spool, we offer standard as well as customised spool and reel solutions – from design and material selection to moulding, testing, and supply – allowing wire and cable manufacturers to reduce packaging costs without compromising on performance.
WCI: Technology partnerships and acquisitions are critical today. How are Indo-global collaborations helping reinforce India’s engineering leadership?
VY: Indo-global collaborations enable Indian manufacturers to align their products with international operating conditions and performance expectations. Continuous feedback from global customers helps drive product improvements and strengthens India’s position as a dependable engineering and manufacturing partner.
We aim to better understand global expectations around spool packaging performance, dimensional tolerances, material preferences, and sustainability benchmarks.
WCI: Which international regions do you see as strategic growth markets, and how is India positioned as your global manufacturing base to support these expansions?
VY: Europe, the United States, and Africa are strategic growth markets for us. India serves as our global manufacturing base due to its strong industrial ecosystem, availability of skilled workforce, and cost competitiveness. From India, we can supply large volumes of standardized as well as customized spools to multiple geographies.
WCI: How are cost pressures across raw materials, energy, or logistics being managed without compromising product reliability or compliance?
VY: Our in-house recycling facility provides strong control over material quality and cost. High-volume processing of polymers, efficient plant layout, and long-term supplier relationships help manage cost volatility while maintaining consistent quality and batch traceability.
WCI: How are sustainability expectations from customers or regulators translating into changes in product design, manufacturing practices, or material choices?
VY: Sustainability is integral to our operations. We manufacture almost 80% of our spools using 100% recycled polymers, operate a 1100-kW rooftop solar plant, and run a zero-liquid-discharge campus. These initiatives help us reduce environmental impact while delivering reliable products that meet customer expectations.
