About CODISSIA
CODISSIA was established to promote small and medium industries in Coimbatore. The trade fair complex was developed as a permanent infrastructure to host industry exhibitions, product launches, and trade meets that would bring buyers, sellers, and manufacturers together without the cost of temporary exhibition setups.
Coimbatore is known as the “Manchester of South India” for its textile industry and a major hub for engineering goods, pumps, motors, and auto components. CODISSIA serves as the commercial stage for these industries.
