Filatex India
Limited (FIL) set up its first manufacturing
facility in January, 1994 in Noida (U.P) to manufacture
500 TPA Specialty Polyester, Nylon, Polypropylene
Monofilament yarns in Technical collaboration with
REIFENHAUSER, GmbH, Germany, who are pioneers in
Extrusion Technology in the world and have supplied
Monofilament Plant and Machinery to leading world
manufacturers like Du Pont, Hoechst, Bayer, etc.
FIL is one of the pioneers in manufacturing
Monofilament Yarns for Zippers, Tooth Brush Bristles,
Velcro, Magic Fasteners and Forming Fabrics in India.
All these products are import substitutes and are
helping the country in saving precious foreign exchange.
Today, FIL has become one of the leading manufacturers
of Monofilament Yarns in India.
In January, 1996 FIL diversified into high growth area
of Specialty Polyester Filament Yarns by putting up its
second manufacturing facility at Dadra, Union Territory
of Dadra & Nagar Haveli which is only 170 km North
of Mumbai. A state of the art plant was imported from
Barmag A.G., Germany.
FIL manufactures Specialty Polyester Filament Yarns,
which have a high value addition as compared to the
normal denier synthetic yarns. One of the Specialty
Yarns, which FIL manufactures is Micro Denier Polyester
Filament Yarns (MDPFY). MDPFY is an import substitute
and its demand is growing at a very rapid pace because
of its inherent strengths.
These Specialty yarns are used for high value added
fabrics like artificial silk which are used for
manufacturing of high quality Sarees, Dress Materials,
Shirtings and other textile applications. FIL is one of
the first dedicated plants for manufacturing Specialty
Micro Denier Filament Yarns in the country.
FIL's Specialty Polyester Filament Yarn Project is
located close to the major textile centers in the
country i.e. Surat and Bombay. This enables FIL in
reducing its freight cost and helping the fabric
manufacturers in maintaining low inventory levels.
In August 1998, FIL started production of Polypropylene
(PP) Multifilament yarn in dope dyed colors, which is
widely used in all types of socks, hosiery, panty hozes
and seamless garments. Polypropylene is the best
subsitute for Nylon/Polyamide because of its superior
characterstics.
We also manufacture FULLY DRAWN YARNS (FDY). FDY is
generally used for better quality fabric. As the process
of texturising is avoided, FDY yields higher
contribution as compared to the normal POY.
In year 2008, FIL started producing Polyester Fully
Drawn yarn using latest machines from Barmag, Germany.
FIL can also produce colored Polyester POY.
The promoters of FIL have over three decades of
experience in marketing Synthetic Filament Yarns in the
country including Specialty Yarns. This gives FIL a
strong competitive edge over its competitors in terms of
marketing its products. As FIL is closely associated
with its consumers of Specialty Filament Yarns, it is
able to manufacture new products as per customers'
demand.
The company has its own marketing offices at all the
major market areas viz. Delhi, Mumbai and Surat. While,
the major customers and exports are directly handled by
the company’s marketing offices, small customers
are catered through a net work of dealers spread through
out the country. All these marketing offices are headed
by well qualified marketing personnel having rich
experience in the industry.
