As Per Website Details

 

Subject is one such mantra which began operations in 1995 as Calida AG’s only manufacturing facility outside Europe.

 

Calida AG is a Swiss company and the Swiss have always been a little obsessive in matters like precision engineering and quality. The technical base in Bangalore was set up by the Swiss themselves. Naturally, only the best production practices in the world were adopted and quality was assumed at Natural Textiles as away of life.

 

In early 2002, a strategic decision at Calida to focus on the market instead of manufacturing saw the company move out of India. While the company continues to source their requirements from them. The reigns of management of Subject has passed on from the Swiss to the Indian promoter and founding Managing Director, Mr. Rashmi Thakeria and his Family.

 

Both the Bangalore Branch and the one in Switzerland (NTPL Europa AG) continue to adhere to the exacting standards with which the enterprise was started. Thanks to this dedication to quality, NTPL was certified ISO 9000: 2000 Besides this they are an oeko tax certified and SA8000 certified company Also based on the export performance they were accorded. The status of an Export House certified by the Indian Ministry of Commerce and Industries.

 

The commitment to the highest European production processes remains resolutely the same and the focus on quality is as unwavering. – Ms. Rashmi Thakeria.

 

 

Industry

 

The polyester segment, accounting for 70% of the synthetic textiles industry witnessed a year of high growth (35% for POY to 60% for PSF) and low prices (lower by 20%) due to falling international prices and a rise in cotton prices. While international fibre intermediate prices also declined, this was insufficient to set off the drop in fibre/yarn prices resulting in margins being squeezed.
