The Noman Group extends Monforts line-up
The Noman Group, Monforts’ largest customer in Bangladesh and in 2010, the country’s largest exporter of garments, has invested in new Monforts technology to ensure that the group retains its premier position.
The Noman Group, one of the largest vertically integrated textiles producers in Bangladesh and in 2010 the country’s biggest exporter of garments, has added a new Monforts Montex stenter to its line-up as part of a massive investment aimed at keeping the group in its premier position.
Noman, originally founded as a trading company in Dhaka in 1968 and which now owns 19 mills and employs a workforce of more than 40,000, is Monforts’ largest customer in Bangladesh.
The new Montex 6500 stenter was supplied and installed by Monforts representative, Bengal Technological Corporation, at the Noman Weaving Mills plant at Sreepur, on the outskirts of Dhaka.
Noman already uses a range of Monforts technology in its continuous dyeing and sanforising lines with Monfortex and Toptex shrinkage units for woven and knitted fabrics. These sanforizers offer increased residual shrinkage, higher production speeds, and reduced water consumption for cooling and substantial time savings for blanket changes.
Gabriel Tagasa, advisor at the group’s multiple outlets in the Sreepur Zone, said that Noman has invested in new equipment throughout 2010 to greatly expand capacity in the spinning and dyeing in its woven and knit garment units; ensuring that the group has the capacity to maintain its position as a major exporter.
Installing the new Monforts 6500-6F stenter, which joins two other Monforts stenters, will allow Noman to step up its output of dyed and knitted fabrics and offer faster and more flexible production times to its customers….Read More….

AP cotton ginning units in need of modernization
Cotton ginning units in the southern Indian State of Andhra Pradesh are in need of modernization in order to improve the quality of cotton in the State as well as to increase production.
Andhra Pradesh is the third largest cotton producer in India with around 800 ginning units, but only 100 of them have been modernized, according to KV Rao, Deputy Director, Textiles Committee, Union Ministry of Textiles.
Mr. Rao stressed on the need for modernization of ginning units in the State, and cited Gujarat as an example to be enumerated. He said the State produces about 5.7 million bales of cotton and has several small-scale spinning industries.
He added that a majority of the ginning units in the State, i.e. around 450 units, are in Guntur district, but it has a very limited cotton pressing capacity. Around 10 percent of the overall cotton production is delivered in loose form, he added.
He informed that the neighbouring States of Orissa and Tamil Nadu, too, do not have sufficient ginning and pressing capacities to meet the growing cotton production in those States. Hence, he emphasized on the need for setting up more ginning capacities in the State.
TL Balakumar, Deputy Director, Regional Office of the Textile Commissioner (ROTXC), Bangalore said the Union Government has set aside Rs. 19.72 billion for the textile industry under the Technology Upgradation Fund Scheme (TUFS), which has a provision to give 15 percent subsidy for machinery upgradation…Read More…
