Artistic Milliners
"The OptiMax enables us to weave different types of weft at high efficiencies in combination with low maintenance cost."
The name Artistic Milliners (Pvt) Ltd has been around since 1949. Artistic Milliners for the past few years has expended to become a fully integrated textile complex focused on providing high-end customers with premium quality denim fabrics and garments. Artistic Milliners currently employs 7650 people and is located in Karachi. The spinning division was established in 2002 with the aim of producing high quality yarn for production of premium fabrics. It has a daily capacity of 100,000 pounds. The output range includes ring spun, open end, core-spun Lycra and multi-count and multi-twist yarns. The dying unit consists of one 36 rope and two 24 rope dye ranges capable of producing deep shades of indigo. The slasher dye range is capable of producing a variety of shades. In its weaving department Artistic Milliners installed 122 OMNIplus 800 airjets and 84 OptiMax rapier machines a few years ago. Recently another 2 OMNIplus Summum airjets were added as a start for further expansion.
"Historically we have only bought projectile or rapier looms as airjet technology was not synonymous with premium denim due to low flexibility and higher rejections. The OMNIplus 800 was our first experiment in airjet technology. After more than six years of running we can say it is very user-friendly and makes it easier for operator and technician to get better efficiency and production combined with a low maintenance cost."
The denim produced ranges from 5 to 15 oz. and the production capacity is 5.5 million meters per month of finished fabric. This cloth is then transferred to the garments division. Artistic Milliners is committed to innovation, product quality and service. With control over the input cotton, yarn manufacturing and all subsequent processes, it offers high quality denim in combination with authenticity in fabric performance, color and finish. The company has a strong focus on sustainability and takes its environmental responsibilities very seriously.
