In additions, we have developed a new singeing machine having large width,” explained Sushil Verma, Managing Director, Kusters Calico Machinery.
The company offers integrated technology for textile wet processing comprising singeing, mercerizing, bleaching, dyeing, washing, finishing padder, technical textiles, etc. He said, “In India, all the major textile companies are our customers. About 60 per cent of our business comes from exports.”
Kusters Calico Machinery is also looking to expand its customer base by focusing on the knitting segment. “The company has a strong presence in the woven market and now we want to grow our business in knits. While we have already supplied washing machine and padders for knits, we are now working on supplying other lines as well. By the end of 2023, we expect to come out with a complete knits line,” informed Sushil Verma.
On Kusters Calico’s performance, he said, “In 2022, we are doing much better than 2021 because of our diversified product range and export markets. With the addition of new products, we expect more markets to open for us. In 2022, we added the fifth shed to our plant. From 2018 to 2022, we have increased our installed capacity by 50 per cent. Looking at the demand, we are planning to add one more shed in the near future.”
