Voltas and Thies sign new agreement

06/03/2009

The Textile Machinery Division (TMD) of Voltas Limited has entered into an alliance with M/s Thies of Germany which will allow Voltas TMD to sell Thies textile processing solutions in India.

According to Voltas, spinning and garmenting have enjoyed significant growth in India; however, weaving and processing have fallen far short of their true potential. The company hopes the new relationship will help to rectify this problem.

The Thies product range includes jet and soft flow fabric dyeing machines, jiggers (high temperature and atmospheric), fully automated yarn dyeing machines and pressure dryers, loose stock bleaching and dyeing plants, laboratory and small scale production dyeing machines, continuous and discontinuous tumblers, beam dyeing machines for yarn and fabric, heat recovery units, control technology for individual dyeing machines and total plants, fully automated plants and centralised overhead systems, dye house planning and design. It also offers access to its research and dye-house facilities for carrying out trials.

Voltas TMD has a network of 16 branches and a team of more than 350 textile professionals.
