Birla Century - Century Textiles and Ind. Ltd

Century Textiles and Industries Ltd. was incorporated in 1897 as a Public Limited Company with its registered office in Mumbai. Until 1951 the company operated only one cotton textile mill in Mumbai and thereafter expanded its textile operations with yarn production and denim production and later on diversified into other industries such as paper and cement. But the “jewel in the crown” of our corporation is without doubt the state-of-the-art Birla Century textile mill, in the state of Gujarat. In this greenfield project we have invested only in the latest technologies, giving us an enormous competitive advantage. It is in this mill that we installed 192 OMNIplus 800 airjets and 110 OptiMax rapier machines.

As production is focused on short runs, but with very complicated fabrics, the Picanol QSC solution is a valuable tool. We produce mainly fine shirtings, an eyecatching range of suitings, fancy and finer fabrics and dress materials and a whole range of bed linen and home furnishings. This is a niche market with high added value, so it is very important for Birla Century to be focused and to follow the trends of tomorrow.
