Paramount Spinning Mills (Yarn Dyeing unit), part of Pakistan’s Gulistan Group, has installed 10 Thies dyeing machines to meet expansion across the wide range of products manufactured by the group and for its export business in dyed yarns.
Gulistan is one of the largest vertically integrated textile groups in Pakistan, with eight industrial divisions for spinning, weaving, yarn dyeing, garments, home textiles, towels, household products and power generation.
The company has installed eight vertical-type eco-bloc yarn dyers with one each of 100 and 200 kg capacity and two each of 300, 500 and 600 kg capacity. There is also a 20 kg capacity vertical machine for lab testing and small runs, and a 4x6 unit eco-bloc quattro with four individual vertical dyeing kiers.
The installation is completed by two rapid pressure yarn dryers of 300 and 500 kg capacity, and the entire system is controlled by a central computer.
Raees Ahmed, general manager of the Paramount Yarn Dyeing plant, said that the plant now has a capacity of 4,000 tons per annum and has the capability to do processing on cotton, polyester, viscose, acrylic, nylon, rayon yarns and their blends.
“This gives us an enormous range in manufacturing products within the group, and also for competing with dyed yarn in the export markets of Europe, USA, South America and Central Asia where they are used in wovens, knits, socks, towelling and other products,” he explained.
Mr Ahmed said that the post-quota era poses tremendous challenges to the textile sector worldwide, hence providing an enormous growth potential for countries like Pakistan having a strong textile infrastructure.
“We have to be able to meet the demand, and to ensure that we remain at the forefront of quality production so that we help increase Pakistan's share in the world textile market,” he added.
