Nonwoven Fabric Overcapacity

By Arun Rao, Correspondent to India, IFJ

To survive intense competition due to over capacity in the Indian as well as the global nonwovens fabrics market, India-based Manjushree Spntek Pvt. Ltd. has forayed into value addition products. The company is now offering disposable printed hospitality textiles for applications in table cloths, bedsheets and aprons. To offer these value added products, the company has invested in a state of the art printing technology, which combines the advantages of both digital and screen printing. This printing technology has been attempted for the first time in the world and these disposable hospitality textiles will help in eliminating water consumption, which otherwise would have been used to wash similar products made from traditional textiles.

Among other value added products, the company’s R&D department has developed a chemotherapy gown, developing a fabric which has higher barrier resistance to the chemotherapy drug.
