Potohar Center for Entrepreneurship Development (PCED) is a not-for-profit platform founded by Manufacturing, Marketing and Education specialists who have teamed together to create an initiative that can identify gaps in Pakistan’s manufacturing and marketing skills value chain. After realizing the fact that compressed air drives almost all the industry verticals and the applied aspects of Compressed Air are not covered in any of the university academic programs with sufficient details, PCED Partnered with National Textile University Faisalabad for the establishment of the first Center of Excellence in Compressed Air (CECA). The industry also has access to this industry-standard training facility for training of their employees as well as advisory services on the best performance from the industry installed compressed air systems.

CECA is a product of Visionary Leadership and Cooperation between
Two Vice-Chancellors of  National Textile University (NTU).
