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 REIFENHÄUSER, 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.
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.
FIL is also engaged
in wind electricity generation at Muppandal,
Tamil Nadu.
The
company has its own marketing offices at
all the major market areas viz. Delhi,
Mumbai, Surat and Ludhiana. 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.
