Facing severe competition from China, Taiwan and Bangladesh, many companies in Ludhiana have adopted cost-effective methods for their production and are moving towards better system processes with lean and upgradation and have achieved good results too. Jagdambay Exports, a popular brand for babies and children’s wear, has recently been added to this list. The company, with an investment of Rs. 50 lakh, has gone for upgradation by installing CAD and fully automatic cutters, thus expecting to save on fabric by 5 to 7 per cent.
“We are fully equipped with all kinds of automatic and branded machines required for baby’s wear like round rib cutting, tape cutting, fully automatic snap attaching machines, metal detector, and embroidery machines, but are lacking at the fabric cutting stage due to which we are losing near about 15 per cent,” says Balvinder Kumar Sharma, CEO and the force behind the growth strategy.
The company with 400 machines and a turnover of Rs. 40 crore per annum and exporting its products to UK, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and South Africa, is hoping to make its CAD system operational by the end of April, while fully automatic cutters will start working in June.
