Noida (India)-based garment manufacturer and exporter, CTA Apparels Pvt. Ltd., is geared up to increase its fabric manufacturing capacity through its vertically integrated textile mill. Currently, the company is producing approximately 1,00,000 metres of woven fabric per month and further aiming to increase it by three times over the next two months to make it around 3,00,000 metres per month.
Located at 35 kms away from its garment manufacturing unit, the textile mill of the company has been in operation for more than 3 months now and dedicated towards the elimination of process loss due to unavailability or late delivery of fabric.
Talking exclusively with Apparel Resources, Manuj Dawar, GM (Operations), CTA Apparels, said, “We are in quite early stage of fabric sourcing but we are targeting to keep shrinkage parameter anything between +1 to -2 to utilize the fabric in the best possible way…”
It’s worth mentioning here that being in high-fashion garment manufacturing, CTA Apparels feels timely delivery is the major chunk of issues that needs to be addressed as pricing is one aspect but, for the company, timely delivery is the bigger concern which they are constantly strengthening through fabric sourcing.
“We are focusing on strong sourcing through vertically integrated mill to have a command of fabric cost, quality and time deadline in our own hands,” informed Shashi Bhushan Jha, Quality Manager to Apparel Resources.
Adding to that, Dinesh Kumar Dubey, GM (Production) in the company stated, “By sourcing fabric through our own textile mill will enable us to minimize WIP on shop floor as well as help us end our dependency on third party fabric supplier and we can make our further production processes even better.”
