Nestling writes a success story in indigenisation

The picture of swans and the word Nestling tells a story of purity. At Nestling Technologies, Coimbatore, this purity is a journey, and the mission is to achieve it in cotton, getting rid of all contaminants. PS Chandrasekaran, Chief Executive Officer, is pretty serious about helping his team achieve this goal.

"Not a single Indian company is in this field of eliminating contamination in fibres. In the world there are only 2 to 3 players in this field. Therefore we decided to concentrate on this aspect with our technologies. This product is the only one which is totally indigenous in this field. We are focusing on price, availability, service, etc. The greatest advantage in this contamination scan equipment is that the industry does not have to wait for 2 to 3 months like they way they were doing. With us, the product is immediately available," said Chandrasekaran, while speaking to Samuel Joseph, Editor of The Indian Textile Journal, in an exclusive interview during the recently held Texfair 2013 in Coimbatore.
