The Advanced Woodworking Training Center (AWTC) is situated at Institute of Wood Science & Technology (IWST) which is a premier Research Institute at Bangalore, under ICFRE (Indian Council of Forestry Research & Education).
 
      The AWTC was started as the first Research & Training Center in India and its basic aim is to enhance the quality of Indian wood products manufacturing industries so as to attain global competitiveness by using the state of art machineries from Italy. This center will help the Industrialists to have an exposure of various Italian Conventional, Automatic and CNC machines. 
 
      It is a joint venture between Indian Government (IWST under ICFRE), Italian Government (Italian Trade Commission, ICE) &  ACIMALL (Italian Woodworking Machines and Tools Manufacturers Association) and is a Research & Training Center at Bangalore.

      In view of the Technological changes in the Indian market, recently we have added a new CNC Router to our Center, for the training. The courses on the same started from Jan 2009.
    
      A regular training programme is being conducted and is imparted by four experienced Trainers who are Engineers, trained in India and Italy for this purpose.
