"There has been a tremendous spurt of about 60% in the demand for textile machinery by the Indian textile industry between 2004-05 and 2005-06, the figures for which are available. The tempo seems to be continuing for the current year too. The growth in imports of textile machinery far outpaces the domestic production, widening the gap between imports and domestic production significantly. From my personal experience in the field of over a decade, this widening gap between imports and domestic production is a significant pointer to the level of technology, range and delivery times of the textile machinery manufactured in India vis-à-vis the supplies from foreign manufacturers.

Trumac Engg to expand machinery range

BUOYED by surge in demand for textile machinery, the Ahmedabad - based Tru-mac Engineering Company Pvt Ltd, engaged in manufacturing and marketing of spinning preparatory machinery, is expected to post a turnover of Rs 200 crore for the fiscal 2005-06, clocking an 18% growth over its previous year's Rs 170 crore.

Trumac is also set to widen its product rang by taking advantage of the bullish market for domestic Textile industry which is sharpening investment in plant and machinary.

"We'll be expanding the range of our products as well as our volume as the market is more pointed towards increased competition," said Mr. Atul K. Bhagwati , Chairman and Managing Director of Trumac Engineering which is the joint venture of the Mumbai-based ATE group and the German textile machinary major Trutzschler Gmbh and Co.

Trutzschler is in fact the major stakeholder in Trumac and provides the knowhow for the company. Trumac Has its own production unit in Ahmedabad and it also helps out in direct marketing of Trutzschler's textile Machinary shipped from its German plant. This way, Trutzschler's machinary sale this year in India done through Truman is estimated to be at Rs. 100 crore.

"We are the leading manufactures in the blow-room/carding/draw eqipment and we want to retain that position in the days to come," said Mr. Heinrich Trutzschler, Managing Partner of Trutzschler Gmbh. Both Mr. Bhagwati and Mr. Trutzschler were in the city recently to celebrae the silver jubilee year of Trumac Engineering. Mr. Heinrich told Business Line that Trumac is expeceted to double its earnings from the current Rs 200 crore Within the next three years. As part of widening its machinary offering to the Indian market, Trumac is planning to introduce new draw-frame model (No. TD-03) soon and according to Mr. Bhagwati, the joint venture company is also planning to come out with one or two new blow-room equipment models. Only recently the company had started producing for the first time card clothing (TCC) products. "Every year, we bring in additional investment of some of RS 8 crore to Trumac to facilitate continuous modernisation and last year it had been raised to Rs 10 crore with the launch of card clothing equipment production," said Mr. Bhagwati.

A strong player in blowroom and carding machinary, Trumac's market share in these segments in India is said to be substantial. The company has sold cumulatively blowroom machinary worth Rs 575 crore and delivered 3,800 carding machines worth Rs 700 crore. It is likely to cross the 4,000 mark in carding machinary sale by this March.

Mr. Trutzschler, who refused to divuleg the details on the shareholding between Trutzschler and ATE in the Indian venture, however maintained that "Trutzschler is happy with its Indian partner who has helped the former increase its stake in Trumac."

Anuj Bhagwati's presentation at CII -Comptex 2005
	‘Indian Textile Industry’ is growing at a rapid pace thanks to the various governmental measures like Technology Upgradation Fund (TUF) to modernise the industry and make it globally cometitive. Confederation of Indian Industry and SIMA organized a two-day conference to highlight the best of global technologies available and investments required to sustain competitiveness in the global market. Comptex 2005 was held in Coimbatore on 8-9 April and the theme was 'Sustainable Global Competitiveness of Textile Industry'. ATEEPL was an associate sponsor of this event. Several experts from India and abroad were invited to speak on various topics. Our MD, Mr Anuj Bhagwati was invited to speak on ‘Processing Technology-Wovens. The focus of Mr Anuj Bhagwati's presentation was on using modern technology in wet processing of woven fabrics to save water, energy and chemicals used in the process. Mr Anuj Bhagwati explained the sequence of process to be followed in wet processing and explained in detail about the continuous finishing machines,its efficiency in saving water and the various features of continuous bleaching, mercerizing, dyeing and washing ranges. Interesting facts and figures were highlighted by Anuj Bhagwati while comparing continuous and semi-continuous machines relating to their water, steam and fuel (oil) consumption. Anuj Bhagwati summarized the presentation with the message that ‘Utility consumption- an often neglected factor’, is very decisive in today’s competitive working environment. The processing units must look for appropriate technology at each stage of processing such as water extraction, drying, squeezing and developing. This presentation served to give an impetus to the audience particularly the processing units to switch to modern technology machines. Extract of his presentation is put up on our intranet under Mr. J.Stillger from A Monforts Textilmaschinen GmBH & Co. KG Germany and Mr. Ulrich Von Christen from Erbatech GmbH, Germany also spoke during the session. Mr Stillger made a presentation on textile finishing machinery and mainly focused on Monfort’s recent development of continuous dyeing range. It was very interesting to note that a ‘revolutionary technology’ known as the ‘THE- E- CONTROL SYSTEM’ introduced by Monforts in recent years is setting trends in technological development of continuous dyeing range. This technology requires only 2-3 minutes for dyeing at certain recommended temperature in the chambers and only color, mild alkali and wetting agent for dyeing, which means avoiding consumption of huge volume of common salt, sodium silicate and urea. This will mean a huge saving for the customer compared to pad batch and jigger techniques. One can dye even dark shades like jet black, navy with good fastness. Also, the water required to wash the dyed fabric is lesser than the conventional process Customers like Ramkumar Mills, Bangalore, Premier Mills, Hosur and Loyal Fabrics, Cuddalore have already benefited immensely by this technology. Mr.Ulrich Von Christen of Erbatech GmbH, Germany explained about the wet finishing ranges like continuous bleaching range, washing range for open width knitted goods and cold pad batch for bleaching. The main feature of the ranges is to take care of tension in the knitted fabrics and lower water consumption. ATEEPL had put up a stall and distributed leaflets to the delegates besides a press kit containing CDs, product catalogue, and Anuj Bhagwati’s presentation paper. In all we could get good customer recognition as a technology driven company with state of the art product offerings. A good brand building.
