Equipment

The plant runs Dornier rapier looms — manufactured by Lindauer Dornier GmbH (Germany) — in both single-width and wide-width configurations, with dobby and jacquard capability for figured and structured constructions. The looms are supported by our own sectional warping machines, winding and rewinding lines, and an extensive in-house inspection line for both greige and finished fabric.

  • Single-width 190 cm Dornier rapier looms — produce 61–64" greige fabric for apparel, shirting, and mid-width furnishing orders.
  • Wide-width Dornier PTV 6/8 J at 340 cm working width — produces up to 122" greige fabric in a single pass. Critical for home-furnishing goods (drapery, tablecloths, bed linens, wide upholstery panels) where a single uncut width eliminates seams.
  • Staubli LX1600B JC5 Jacquard heads with 6,144 hooks — Swiss-built electronic Jacquard heads mounted on the Dornier looms. 6,144 hooks means individual control of each warp yarn, enabling complex figured designs and large repeat patterns at full width. Few competing Indian mills match both the loom width and the Jacquard hook count.

The plant runs its own humidification and power conditioning — both critical for natural-fibre weaving, which is sensitive to atmospheric and electrical stability.

Constructions

Solids

Plain, twill, and satin-weave constructions across the fibre and count range. Raw bleached (white), raw natural, natural, and dyed states.

Yarn-dyed stripes and checks

Stripes, checks, and heritage patterns woven with pre-dyed yarn. Yarn-dyed fabrics don't fade the way piece-dyed goods do — the colour is locked into the yarn rather than applied to the surface, which matters for both wear life and shade consistency batch to batch.

Dobby constructions

Structured weaves — herringbones, chevrons, diamonds, geometric figures — produced on our dobby-equipped looms. A well-designed dobby on linen or hemp creates a structural depth that catches light differently than a plain weave.

Jacquard constructions

Figured fabrics with large repeat sizes for home textiles, drapery, and high-end apparel. Jacquards require more programme development time than dobbies — we work with you on design briefs, sampling, and approved first-quality runs.

Linen-silk jacquards

A specialty category. Linen brings structure to the construction; silk brings sheen and drape. The combination produces a fabric with a distinctive hand suited to heritage home textiles, ceremonial apparel, and high-end interiors. Available in our standard widths.

Widths

  • 53" finished — common apparel width
  • 58" finished — common apparel width
  • 61–64" greige — standard single-width off 190 cm looms
  • 118" wide — double-width home furnishing
  • 122" greige — ultra-wide on the 340 cm Dornier PTV 6/8 J

Intermediate widths are possible through reed selection and warp planning. The wide-width capability matters for home-furnishing buyers: drapery, tablecloths, bed linens, and upholstery panels can be cut from a single uncut width, eliminating seams.

Weight range

Our looms produce fabric across the full commercial GSM range for woven linen and natural-fibre constructions:

  • ~100–150 GSM — fine apparel linen. Shirting, dress fabric, lightweight blouses.
  • ~150–250 GSM — mid-weight. Heavier apparel, lightweight home textiles, curtain linings.
  • ~250–400 GSM — home textile. Drapery, duvet covers, mid-weight upholstery, structured furnishing.
  • ~400–700+ GSM — heavy furnishing and upholstery. Heavy drapery, heavy upholstery panels, industrial and utility textiles.

Production flow

  1. Yarn arrival and receipt. Incoming yarn is logged with a goods receipt note and assigned a lot number.
  2. Quality check and stocking. Each lot is quality-checked against our standard — count, strength, uniformity, and visual — and stocked in humidity-controlled conditions.
  3. Yarn dyeing (if required). Coloured constructions go out to certified subcontracted facilities under our scope. Yarn returns with full traceability back to the original lot number.
  4. Warping. Sectional warping builds the warp beam to the construction's count and width specification.
  5. Drawing-in. Warp ends are drawn through the drop wires, heddles, and reed to the specified construction.
  6. Weaving. The beam goes onto a loom — dobby or jacquard as specified — and runs until the production programme is complete.
  7. Greige inspection. Off-loom fabric is inspected on our in-house inspection line. Piece-by-piece defect recording. Approved pieces move to finishing or dispatch.
  8. Finishing (if required). Greige goes to a certified subcontracted finisher under our scope.
  9. Final inspection and dispatch. Finished fabric is re-inspected, rolled, packed, and shipped from our in-house dispatch area.

Continuous operation

The plant runs multiple shifts per day plus a general shift for office and support functions. All shifts are staffed with their own production, maintenance, and supervision teams. Biometric attendance. Trade union recognised. Average wages above the relevant minimum-wage band for the skilled and semi-skilled categories.

Environmental classification

Our operating consents classify the plant under the Green category — the lowest environmental-impact classification available for a textile weaving operation under the Central Pollution Control Board framework. Weaving is fundamentally a dry process; the plant's water use is limited to humidification, sanitation, and general cleaning.

Audits and visits

We are audited annually for our GOTS, OCS, and GRS scope, and for OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100. International retailer compliance audits are accommodated on request. If you're evaluating us as a supplier and need a plant visit, contact us.
