Trident Group: Pioneers in home textiles market
The group has catapulted to become the largest manufacturer of terry towels and one of the largest integrated home textile manufacturers in the world; a feat nonpareil.
The group began with a solitary unit making high-quality yarn. However, in due course, the group catapulted to become the largest manufacturer of terry towels and one of the largest integrated home textile manufacturers in the world; a feat nonpareil.
Success breeds success
In 2013, Trident started another journey from Budhni in Madhya Pradesh, the heart of India. Spread over an area of 800+ acres, the Trident Budhni plant is a convergence of modern machinery, best-in-class processes and the passion for excellence. The plant houses its home textile businesses that are vertically integrated — from cotton to yarn, and yarn to towel and sheeting. Stationed at its Budhni facility is also the world’s largest terry towel factory; spread across an area of 1 kilometre.
Responsible, in every way
The Trident Group today, is a USD 3 billion plus global conglomerate with a formidable presence in home textiles, paper and stationery and chemicals. Behind these accomplishments lie innumerable stories of its people, who have made it a force to reckon with. The company, which supports over 25,000 families, has not only provided growth heavy employment but has also nourished each of them with their impeccable, deeply rooted culture. This was validated in 2020, when they won the coveted award for Dream Employer of the Year.
Trident has charted out a robust growth map with its philosophy of ‘responsible manufacturing.’ The processes, technology and infrastructure are designed to play a vital role in ensuring sustainable growth. For example, paper that reduces carbon emissions, textiles made from recycled materials, minimal water and chemicals usage in the manufacturing processes.
