developed in a collaboration with Kingdom Holdings – one of thelargest manufacturers of hemp in China – in order to reduce thecompany’s reliance on cotton.
There are many challenges involved in working with hemp,Naveena says, but vertically-integrated spinning operations haveenabled it to create blended yarns of cotton, hemp and Tencelcontaining only 49% cotton.
Both Rajby Industries and Soorty have now achieved Cradleto Cradle Gold certification for denim fabrics in their collections,as a globally recognised measure of safer, more sustainable productsmade for the circular economy.
To receive this certification, products are assessed forenvironmental and social performance across five criticalsustainability categories – material health, material reuse, renewableenergy and carbon management, water stewardship, and socialfairness. The standard encourages continuous improvement overtime by awarding certification on the basis of ascending levels ofachievement and requiring certification renewal every two years.Aniline free
Advance Denim has meanwhile become the first denim millin China to launch a collection made with aniline-free indigo.
As a result of its toxicity, analine is now starting to featureon the restricted substance lists (RSL) of some of the major clothingbrands and retailers.
During traditional indigo dyeing process, some aniline stayslocked into the indigo pigment and is difficult to wash off the fabric,while the remainder is discharged with the wastewater. The newprocess being employed by Advance Denim is based on an aniline-free indigo formulation from Switzerland’s Archroma.
Italy’s Berto also introduced pre-reduced indigo dyeing in anexpanded range of denims based on GOTS-certified fabrics madewith organic cotton and regenerated yarns.
“Our latest collection was inspired by young people – the ZGeneration that is free spirited but at the same time involved in thefight against climate change,” said Berto’s marketing managerFrancesco Polato. “We are seeking to meet their needs with anextroverted collection characterised by special colours and looks,but always with a 360-degree attention to sustainability.”
To complete the Smart Creation showcase, India’s RaymondUco introduced a coloured denim range comprising fabrics thatare both yarn dyed and made from sustainable dyestuffs, tosignificantly reduce the use of chemicals, while Evlox/Tavexannounced plans to introduce post-consumer recycled denim to itscollections, with complete traceability of all the materials used.
Denim Première Vision took place at the Printworks inLondon on December 2nd and 3rd. The next edition will be held inMilan in June 2020.

The US wants India tolower its duties on Americanproducts, White House trade andeconomic adviser Peter Navarrosaid on Wednesday, describingIndia as "the maharaja" of tariffs.
Navarro, who heads theWhite House Office for Tradeand Manufacturing Policy, toldFox News in an interview that astudy by him has shown that 90per cent of the time India charges
the United States higher tariffsthan they charge India.
"We're engaged with India.The problem, I like to joke,India's the maharaja of tariffs.They literally have the highesttariffs in the world of any largecountry. It's ridiculous," Navarrosaid.
"The president (DonaldTrump) is a big fan of theReciprocal Trade Act, whichwould allow this countrybasically to charge higher tariff
if a country won't lower theirs,he said in response to a question.
"The study I did showedthat 90 per cent of the time Indiacharges us higher tariffs than wecharge them. So, yes, we've gotto get India to belly up to thatbar and lower their tariffs andmake nice with trade," Navarrosaid.
US President Trump hasalso repeatedly claimed thatIndia is a "tariff king" andimposes "tremendously high"
tariffs on American products.

Exotic fibres are used for
making these luxury fabrics.Some fibres include:

Father-Son legacies trusts TruetzschlerA good father is one of the most unsung yet one of the most
valuable assets in our society. Every father tries to leave a lastingmark on his children. Legacy isn’t confined to a will or aninheritance, it is what a father gives them in terms of support,wisdom, character, and faith. And when it comes to handing overbusiness, every father nurtures his children with his best knowledgeand acumen.
Bhilwara province, Rajasthan, India, has witnessed three suchprime examples of highly successful fathers passing on their tradesecrets to their sons. Nitin Spinners, Sudiva Spinners and LagnamSpintex, all highly renowned spinning mills were formed by fathersand are now looked after by their sons. In all three ventures, onething which is common is – brand Truetzschler.
ring spindles, 3500 rotors, 63 knitting machines, 168 air-jet loomswith 200 tonnes per day production of 5s to 80s yarn counts. In2002, the second son Mr Nitin Nolkha who is a ManagementGraduate also joined the board as an Executive Director. With morethan 19 Years of Industrial experience, Mr Nitin Nolkha looks afterprocurement of materials and implementation of projects.
Mr. R.L. Nolkha happily remarked that “ We are high qualitymanufacturer of yarn and do not believe in compromising qualityon any parameter”. We needed “the best possible technology partnerand Truetzschler perfectly fitted the bill.” The relationship whichstarted in 1997 with the purchase of DK 740 cards continues withTC 10 cards in our latest project. At present Nitin Spinners have142 Truetzschler cards in all their units. Mr Dinesh Nolkha saidthat “Since Truetzschler is the preferred supplier for many reputedspinning mills, they should further enhance their core strength andcontinue to excel in their product domain and offer end to endsolutions in Sliver Preparation”
Nitin Spinners which recently forayed into Blends opted forthe T blend from Truetzschler. Mr Dinesh Nolkha praised theBlending technology of Truetzschler. He said “It gives us moreflexibility to produce different blends with the highest precisionand lowest CV%.” By combining a sharp focus on sustainableprofitability with innovative products, the father-son trio havecreated a name for Nitin Spinners in more than 60 countriescovering five continents where their yarn is exported.
Elsewhere one of the doyens of the Indian textile industryMr J.C. Laddha, had similar plans for his son. Mr J.C. Laddha hasa vast experience in the textile industry from 1973 having workedwith the RSWM group in the highest capacity. He already knewthe advantages of Truetzschler machines as he was instrumental insetting up / modernising the various units of RSWM during his
long stint at RSWM. Whenin 2006 Mr. Varun Laddhareturned from USA, aftercompleting his higherstudies, he had a choice ofjoining a company orstarting his own company.Fuelled by his extra-ordinary commercialknowledge and technicalexperience ,Mr J.C.Laddha guided him in
Visionary leader andChairman Mr R. L. Nolkhais a professional with anexperience of five decadesand worked with prominentgroups like BSL andRSWM. He was also theCEO of LNJ Bhilwara groupfor more than two decades.He founded Nitin Spinnersin 1992 as a launch pad forMr Dinesh Nolkha, who hadjust completed his CharteredAccountancy. Starting witha humble beginning of twoopen ends, today NitinSpinners stands tall with anenormous capacity of 3 lakh
setting up his first venture- Sudiva Spinners.Mr Varun, now a first-generation entrepreneur explained “Out
of ring spinning and open end, I opted for OE process as my firstproject because it required relatively lesser capital investment.However to get the best quality yarn with highest productivity, weopted for the best in class machinery from Truetzschler”
At present Sudiva Spinners has about 74,000 spindles and2208 rotors producing counts ranging from 6sNe to 40sNe havingper day yarn prodn of 80Tons and 8Tons of knitted fabric. Thelatest project which was commissioned in 2018 was one of the firstspinning Unit in India to opt for the latest “TC15 Cards with TMove and Jumbo cans”.
Today, the unit hosts 59 Truetzschler cards commissionedin 3 different phases. By focusing on product development andtaking calculated risks, Mr Varun has ensured that Sudiva Spinnersnot only dominates the domestic yarn market but is an impeccablesupplier of yarn to more than 32 countries around the globe.

To improve the manpower situation, the millprioritizes progressive HR policies and a decent workingenvironment, as well as investing in sophisticated productionmachinery.

“We invested in UsterSentinel r ing spinningoptimization system with thegoal to improve profits but we aredelighted that staff also likes theinstallations,” says VrajeshKikani, Managing Director,Kikani Exports. The mill reportsa positive impact on profitabilityresulting from successfuloptimization of a number offactors, such as waste, ring
traveler lifetime, machine speed and energy consumption etc.Production focuses on 100% cotton combed compact yarns,
in the count range Ne 20 to Ne 40, for weaving and knitting end-uses. The mill has been able to reduce waste by half since installingUster Sentinel. Enhanced overall productivity is a consequence ofreducing pneumafil waste. Uster Sentinel also monitors theproductivity of all spindles, feeding back all the required links andinformation to help yarn producers make optimization decisionsat ring spinning based on reliable data.
Among potential problems for all spinners is inconsistentyarn quality characterized by low twist, caused by loose fibersblocking travelers – especially excessively worn ones. Only UsterSentinel can identify spindles malfunctioning in this way, sincethe issue does not cause end-breaks but still produces yarns whichare too weak for high-speed warping and weaving machines. Thenunique Off-Standard feature of Uster Sentinel safeguards against‘hidden’ quality risks such as this. BOBBIN BUILD-UPREPORT GIVES PRACTICAL SUPPORT
End-break levels are a key indicator of ring spinningperformance, and Uster Sentinel recognizes this by providing anintuitive bobbin build-up report for every parameter influencingend-breaks. Spinners can then initiate improvements relative totheir own mill, taking account of ambient conditions and energyconsumption, as well as machine speed, wear of mechanical partsand personnel.
The bobbin build-up report also provides for higherperformance, along with optimized cops. Comprehensive analysisof the speed curve – and its impact on quality throughout cop build-up – is a key element of the enhanced way of optimizing ringspinning performance. Cop build-up quality is the new dimensionof optimization, enabling managers to select the correct machinesettings for higher production yields, while keeping quality at the
optimizing their lifetime,” says Kannan. He makes use of this facilityfor ring traveler performance comparisons by using the end-breakinformation to indicate the end of traveler life cycles. The bobbinbuilt-up report allows the mill to monitor traveler wear related toage, checking stable end-break rates through the entire doff duration.This report shows the current state in intervals of five minutes,and an overview provides information about end-breaks per 1,000spindle-hours. FACT-BASED FEEL-GOOD ADVANTAGES
Reports give status information at five-minute intervals,including end-breaks and piecings during that period. “Informationabout piecing speeds helps me to identify each operator’s skill levelso that I can optimize the operation schedules and processes. Onlyby assigning manpower carefully it is possible to maintain idealworking conditions,” says Kannan. Uster Sentinel handles completepersonnel management, including shift planning and staffassignment for all machines in the system – integrated withmonitoring of critical ring spinning parameters. This makespersonnel management in ring spinning fact-based and less time-consuming.
Reliable detection of slip, rogue and idle spindles is whatmakes Uster Sentinel popular among shop floor staff. LEDs indicatespindles showing an issue or positions where an end-break occurs,directing personnel quickly to fix the problem. Incidents are alsoshown on the machine display, providing an overview of spindleswhere attention is needed. “Operators really enjoy working thanksUster Sentinel, as it makes it easy to spot an end-break, even whenpatrolling far away. They enjoy the experience of handling theirjob efficiently and are under less stress – both of which increasethe feel-good factor at work,” says Kannan. THE LONG VIEW
Optimizing the potential of ring spinning covers manyaspects, taking advantage of Uster Sentinel and the data it provides:waste saving, compressed air saving, energy saving, cuts saved atwinders and increased productivity and quality. Says Kikani: “UsterSentinel works as a ring spinning optimization system, increasingprofitability where it matters most…every day.”
Kikani visited the USTER booth at ITMA 2019 in Barcelona.He was interested to learn about further technologies and how amill will be managed in future. “I’m amazed about the advantagesfor ring spinning through connectivity. I can see more profitoptimization potential. With Uster Sentinel and Uster Quantumalready installed, only Uster Quality Expert is needed to correlatering quality data and winding quality data in a single system.”
There is one key performance indicator still not integratedthe system but no less important to the company: “Enjoyment. Ahappy staff supports great performance and is a positive cost factorfor the mill in the long run,” says Kannan.

In a very short span, byharnessing the opportunities,Lagnam Spintex emerged as amanufacturer of quality yarn forboth domestic as well as exportmarket. Lagnam Spintex is oneof the few spinning mill in theworld to be certified by Uster, forproducing top-quality open-endyarn .Lagnam prides itself inproducing yarn of highest qualitywith Productivity & safety at alllevels.
When asked about thecurrent scenario of the textileindustry both Mr R.L Nolkhaand Mr. D.P. Mangal showedtheir concern over the disparityin domestic and imported cottonprices caused due to the MSP. MrVarun Laddha on the other hand,voiced his concern over differentstates offering different powertariffs, which gives lowermargins for manufacturers instates, which have dearer powersupply. He demanded a OneCountry One Tariff regime.
When asked about A.T.E.,Mr. Dinesh Nolkha remarkedthat over the last decade A.T.E.has grown as a company bybringing the most advanced andrequired technology to the Indianmarket. Mr. J.C. Laddha echoedhis thoughts and said that A.T.E.understands the needs of theIndian customers and providesthe r ight solution throughprincipals like Truetzschler.
Looking at the trustbestowed by the esteemedcustomers it is fair enough to saythat “It’s True It’s Truetzschler.”
