The Trützschler Group and A.T.E. reached a new milestone with the delivery of the 10,000th Trützschler card in India recently. The card was delivered to Arisht Spinning Mills, a unit of the Vardhman Group. It was also a happy coincidence that with the delivery of the 10,000th card, the total number of cards in Vardhman Group has reached 502, probably the highest number of cards purchased by any single company in the world! The Vardhman Group probably has all models of Trützschler cards from DK 760, DK 803, DK 903, TC 03, TC 5 and TC 11, manufactured by Trützschler, Germany, Trumac and Truetzschler India.
A special function was held to commemorate this unique occasion at the Arisht unit in Baddi. The function was attended by SP Oswal, Chairman and Managing Director of Vardhman, Heinrich Trützschler and JP Bhatt from Truetzschler, Anuj Bhagwati, GV Aras, and Sunil Bhatnagar from A.T.E. along with some of its sales team members, and many top manager and technicians from all nearby Vardhman mills.
The function began by SP Oswal and Heinrich Trützschler jointly cutting a special ribbon made for the occasion and placing a special plate on the 10,000th card. This was followed by breaking coconuts by all dignitaries, which is considered auspicious.
In his welcome speech, Oswal happily informed that Vardhman Group is the first organisation in India to cross the 1-million spindle mark. Oswal also commended that over the years Trützschler organisation has brought new technologies to the Indian shore by having a joint venture here.
Heinrich Trützschler, while addressing the gathering, thanked Oswal for giving Trützschler the first opportunity in 1994 in the VMT project and for its continued support for the last 20 years, and further hoped that it will continue in future also with the launch of Trützschler comber in India.
Trützschler handed over a specially made replica of TC 5 card to SP Oswal on this occasion and also a golden card for crossing the 500 number mark by the group.
In his speech, Anuj Bhagwati, Managing Director of A.T.E., emphasised that all three organisations — Vardhman, Trützschler and A.T.E. — success was based on their strong values and commitments to their customers. He also pointed out that for all the three companies there is another significance as Trützschler is celebrating its 125th years, A.T.E. its 75th year and Vardhman its 50th year, that each one could be proud of.
