4.2 Author is a technical consultant with Amit Commercial Corporation, Hyderabad. Amit has made arrangements with Toray International Inc. Osaka to obtain speciality polyester fibres from four top fibre producers in South East Asia - Toray, Japan,; Saehan, Korea; Penfibres, Malaysia and Nan Ya, Taiwan. Almost all the fibres listed here are made by one or other of theses four companies. We can help a merchant exporter/ importer / mills to select the right fibre for a given end use, choose proper fibre specification, work with known textile mills to spin weave and process the fibre to obtain desired end fabric with the best possible properties expected. We have adequate technical know how within our group and if need be we can always get technical advice from the four fibre producers whose fibre we market.

4.3 We sincerely feel it is high time we in India get into manufacture of specific fabrics/garments/made ups using speciality polyrster fibres and capture niche markets in the world. Developmental efforts are required; but we believe there is excellent talent in this country to do it. We understand today there is not much profit in run- of- the- mill product. We are sure our technical personnel will take this challenge and make a success of it-the earlier we do it, better it is. We feel there is only one way forward for our industry for achieving prosperity tomorrow-go for specialities fast and in a big way.
