Monforts, a leader among the manufacturers and exporters of textile machines in Germany, has announced that India’s leading producer of 100 per cent, fine-quality cotton bed and table linen and textiles and part of the Premier Group, Premier Fine Linens, is investing in its first Monforts installation to improve and control the quality of its output.

Premier Fine Linens is investing in a new Monforts Monfortex Sanforiser 8000 and a Thermex E-Control to enhance the quality and innovative potential of its production.

The machines are being installed at the Fine Linens mill in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. They will handle widths of 3200 millimetres and typically be handling weights of between 125 and 250 g/m2, although heavier fabrics of up to 450 g/m2 can also be handled.

Monforts’ representative in India, ATE Enterprises Private Ltd, is installing the new units. The new installation will greatly enhance quality control of the production, which is at the very top of the fine-quality segment of this market.

Vice president for Fine Linens’ production, R Mathiyazhagan, said, “The division uses 100 per cent cotton, organic cotton, Supima and Egyptian and Supima Tencel blend. All of our dyeing is done in-house, using organic dyes and low-impact chemicals. We recover, process, and re-circulate our own wastewater, using 99 per cent of our own supplies. Monforts will also allow us to increase the innovations and product potential that we offer to our customers. We can offer better colour control, and better shrinkage.” (GK)
