Indorama India Private Limited commenced commercial production in its third manufacturing facility at Baddi in Himachal Pradesh on 4th February 2023. The company which is engaged in the production and marketing of the INVIYA® brand of spandex since 2012, said that the groundbreaking ceremony was solemnised in December 2021 and commercial production has started in an ambitious time frame of 13 months.
With the new plant becoming operational, Indorama India has now added another 25 metric tonnes per day capacity and has taken the total production capacity to 65 metric tonnes per day, which is a giant leap from less than 15 metric tonnes per day in 2017.
Indorama India further reported that INVIYA® holds a leadership position in providing functional solutions to high-end garments, accessories like elastics, tapes and hygiene products like diapers.
The company offers a complete range of spandex products under the brand names INVIYA® (Semi-Dull), STOLID® (Full-Dull), ECOModa100™ (100% Recycled), and SnugFit® (Diaper grade). Alongside the offerings, they include other differentiated/specialty spandex products like Coloured Spandex from 20D onwards and Ultra-Fine Deniers like 10D/15D.
Incidentally, Indorama is said to be the only company in the Indian subcontinent to produce spandex meant for hygiene applications, which is available under the brand SnugFit® that caters to baby and adult diaper manufacturers.
The development of these products is a result of heavy investment done by Indorama India in building strong technical capabilities. The company has an in-house polymer R&D facility along with a textile and diaper grade application development centre to study customer needs, formulate various polymers, continuously improve and offer world-class products.
“On the business front, INVIYA® remains bullish on growing business opportunities aided by PLI Scheme, PM Mitra Parks and FTAs, being pursued by the Government of India along with decisive actions undertaken to promote MSMEs, which form the backbone of the fragmented textile and clothing value chain, will help Indian textile sector in emerging as a strong competitor in the global market,” reads a press release sent by Indorama India Pvt. Ltd. to Apparel Resources.
INVIYA®’s success is an excellent example, as stated by Indorama India, of an indigenous technological foray by Indorama in contribution to the Government’s ‘Make In India’ dream to make India self-sufficient in technological development and manufacturing.
INVIYA® is widely accepted as a dependable raw material by yarn and fabric manufacturers & accessories manufacturers alike in India and across many countries.
