Associate Editor at Nonwovens Industry
Spunweb India Private Limited (SIPL), a wholly owned subsidiary of Spunweb Nonwoven Limited (SNL), an Indian manufacturer of spunbond nonwovens, announced a significant capacity expansion with the acquisition of two advanced production lines–a 3.2-meter single beam nonwoven fabric production line and a 1.6-meter single beam nonwoven fabric production line. This strategic investment will enhance SIPL’s installed production capacity by approximately 53%, increasing from 12,240 metric tons to 18,740 metric tons. In conjunction with SNL’s existing capacity, the group’s total installed capacity will grow by nearly 20%, from 32,640 metric tons to 39,140 metric tons. As part of the expansion, SIPL’s production infrastructure will be augmented by approximately 45,000 square feet, further strengthening its operational backbone. The move is expected to generate an approximate 20% increase in employment, reinforcing the group’s commitment to socio-economic development alongside industrial growth. The new production lines, which are expected to commence operations in Q3 of the current financial year, will be installed at SIPL’s facility located at Survey No. 119p1, NH 27, Near Wankaner Boundary, Rangpar, Jalida, Rajkot, Wankaner – 363621, Gujarat, India. These state-of-the-art machines will not only enhance production capacity but also drive improvements in product quality, operational efficiency and cost optimization. Furthermore, they will support the development of new product lines catering to high-demand sectors such as packaging, agriculture and industrial applications. Jay Kagathara, managing director, SIPL, comments, “With this addition, we are not only expanding our operational capacity but also reinforcing our commitment to delivering excellence to our customers. These machines will play a key role in meeting rising demand while maintaining the highest standards of quality.” This capacity expansion is in line with the group’s long-term growth strategy to scale operations, embrace technological advancements and address increasing market demands both domestically and internationally.
